There is also a saying, something about subjective, semantics, and some other big words I have no idea about. LOL Wait a minute is this not the WTF thread.

The problem here is that the assertion of semantics is subjectively supposed by the potentially supercilious subject's views... Whoa, I need to lie down now...
 
sharpened some chains again tonight...... i got a peice of crap old semi chisel that flys threw wood
out cuts all my other semi chisels, its got some messed up angles real agressive, and one funny looking square filed cutter :) :p
i touched it up very lightly tonight... except the square one kinda funny it makes big chips and cuts smooth
 
Eventually I intend t either learn how to free-hand square or pick up an old Silvey or similar. Semi-chisel holds up better in crap/Hedge hands-down, but I like how quickly and smoothly square cuts in decent wood. A grinder would be much more accurate and uniform than my learning curve for free-handing is likely to be...
 
big learning curve with both....learn all you can free hand is not hard to make a chain cut
it just takes a while to hone your talents a grinder costs alot more than a couple $10 files
 
Coby what HF grinder you got.I have gone over there 2 or 3 times to get one and always walk out empty handed. They just have a lot of play in them.I just need something for rocked chains.I know there is a deal going about them, butI know you will they work ok for what I need it for.

for a rocked chain they will be ok, just pay attn to detail, you can do a good chain but i always run a file threw it to get the teeth strait again
 
just dont burn threw the tooth do little cuts so it dosnt burn the tooth up
the stones tend to burn cutters if not carefull

Member Philbert has a Harbor Freight grinder thread going.
It's a good read.

I have one that was given to me. No perceptible play in the hinge but the plastic is somewhat flexable.

It do what I need done.
 
been reading it, i got more stuff i want to try with a lo dollar grinder. someday I want a heavy duty
grinder and nicer stones :)
