I can square grind with my round grinder

[J.Noss]

I will be interested to know if it works with the Tecomec Jolly Star grinder which if I remember correctly is essentially a clone of the Oregon 520-120. (So I'd think it should, but as has been said, manufacturer's tolerances vary so it'll take a test to find out) I've been following the channel Square Cutter on YouTube for awhile now and am interested to try this and will be ordering one as soon as I can

What I do not see on the Vevor is the ability to move the chain vise front to back. I don't know if this needed with the sq jig.

The Vevor and other Chineesium knockoffs do have the 10 degree tilt. I have a Princess Auto Powerfist branded one, same thing but blue.
It definitely works!


This is one of the .050 demo rigs, but .058 seems to be fitting just fine.



I'm still learning it, but I'm starting to get results.

The 10 degree tilt or front to back slide will to the same thing. The other thing is the wheel has to line up with the center of the vise.

thats where the front to back slide comes in.

Anyone using one of these jigs? How are they working?

I personally know a few people who have his jig and I do too but i haven't gotten to testing it but the guys I know who have them do like it and way cheaper then a 2k+ ish symington. Just have to get your stone angles setup and keep up on maintaining them and go

Fingers crossed that a Stihl USG option is in the works.

Same

Or make time to make one

That Square Grinder jig does work in Oregon grinders not sure about the Chinese replica grinders. That's what I have a vevor knock off but haven't been working on much lately to test run it my self

Pretty sure stihl usg has had one forever.

I think I've tried to get one with no luck

They weren't easy to get. I've only heard of very few with them(@Del_ iirc had one). But much like the raker grinder, if you want one and are willing to, work hard, pay the price, and ready to jump when one pops up available, you'll get one.

Thanks for the tag. I never did start a thread on the USG Square Grind attachments. Hope to do it soon.

I just read this thread again and got enthused!

So has anyone cut with a chain ground with this contraption??

 

[singinwoodwackr]

Does it fit the 520 Oregon or just the 420?
