Looks nice. I like the clean design.

So the only 'dis-advantage' of the HD version is that it might be too thick for some Granberg or Timberline type sharpening jigs?

So Philbert, did you get a chance to check out my vices the Hedgerow brought?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No! I met him and his family, ran a few of his saws, and he showed me a chain he had tunneled and wet-stoned. But I did not realize he had brought samples of the vises!!!

I'm sure it must have been mentioned in one of the GTG/race/vise threads and I spaced out? Might have been the heat?!?

Now I will have to go to Monkeyfest! Anyone bringing one there!

Mike, I'm not really looking for that style of locking device on one.

I really had envisioned the cam type lever for my needs. I also believe that only 2 would be needed on one that length.

Just keep doing what your doing right now though, I don't need one badly, just thought if I could get one that clamps quicker they would be good for me.

I can keep using the one I made for now that uses the bench vice to actually do the clamping on it, hard to get faster then that.

Well OK.... you only have to move the lever nut half a turn approximately the same amount of travel for cam lock. I would be more than happy to leave out the center one for you.

No like I said I'm not interested in that type of lever nut at all, just don't work for me, that's all.

I'd like to be able to give some feedback on this Gen2 chain vice, but I've yet to use it. I can say it's a very well made tool......

 

[andydodgegeek]

Hedgerow stopped at my house this weekend and I got a chance to play with your vice's, very nice. I really liked the radius on the gen 2 vice and that's what I want to get as soon as I get a couple bucks saved up. I just had to rebuild the transmission in my motorhome and I am beyond spent. Good job Mike, nice designs.

I got a little bit closer today with the Timberline sharpener. A couple set screws to set the depth of the movable jaw andI think we'll be good.

Phil, I'll be happy to bring mine if we ever figure out when it's gonna be.



I just spent about an hour playing with it, it works well, the operator on the other hand is gonna need some work to become a square filer. In my defense, I'm trying to file round to square with no experience. But like an old machinist told me years back, "Son, you might have the brains to be a machinist, but you sure ain't got the hands for it."

Hi Mike, Your chainsaw vise looks great and now one with the Timberline sharpener option. It is nice to see you are open to hear AS members ideas and adapt your product to there needs. Good luck on your Chainsaw Vice. Great job. Carry on.........

 

[Homelite410]

Thank you very much!!

If I can make my product a better product, and reach more customers, I will listen by all means. I really do enjoy your guyses input on all this.

Quality Product received today

Received the gen2 chain filing vise today and must say it shows great workmanship.
And American Made!
Holds the chain tight & I really like the radius on the end. It does a good job of tightening down with just the wing nuts, if a person didn't want to spend the extra money for the lever nuts.

Thanks Mike

I have been getting 24-32 chains a week from a tree service (last several weeks) + other chains so I spend a lot of time with chains. I realize that is a drop in the bucket for some of you guys but I will take the work.

Thank you for the complement on my vise! I hope it will serve you well!!

I have to ask, in another thread you posted pics of some sweet silvey products. With all them sweeeeet grinders, what will you use the vise for?

Thank you for your business, I was just curious..

First off. I not an expert at anything and that is why I love this forum. So much to learn from great people.

In the 1980s I used to do a program on chain saw maintenance at a forest ranger boot camp for new trainees. Nothing special but they enjoyed it.
in the future I would like to have people come in to learn about hand sharpening chain and I will be using your chain vises. There is a gentleman at a nearby hardwood lumber CO. I hope to get to put on the school.
