This might be the best grinder for Stihl’s new tiny chain....pic o micro?
Get a thin CBN wheel. Ain’t cutting much.
With that tiny chain. Dressing to the same radius would be a pain.I think that they are the best of the 'mini grinders' (assuming that they have addresses those issues from 3 years ago). Users have to be satisfied with the limited angle adjustments offered. I have not been impressed with the CBN wheels; actually prefer the 'pink' wheels, well dressed.

1/8" thick grinding wheel; dress it half round. You can dress the radius slightly flatter (or oval) if you want to make it closer to a 5/32" file profile.With that tiny chain. Dressing to the same radius would be a pain.
Think it would have to be thinner than that to get a decent hook.1/8" thick grinding wheel; dress it half round. You can dress the radius slightly flatter (or oval) if you want to make it closer to a 5/32" file profile.

As noted, this is a good grinder for light work at fixed angles. Especially good for touching up a chain and evening out angles. If that fits your needs, it is a good choice. If you are expecting more . . . .Would this be a good grinder to start off with?
To that end I found your reviews @Philbert of the oregon 310, but wondered is it adjustable to a 10 degree cutter angle?
No. It is fixed at 30°.
If you are making your own milling chains, out of standard crosscutting chains, you probably also want more power, along with the ability to custom grind angles, which generally means a full sized grinder.
Welcome to A.S.!
No. It is fixed at 30°.
so how do you grind the opposite side cutters? I just bought a similar Oregon one yesterday used for $20. the whole chain vise swivels. there’s a knob underneath and it looks like the first pictures in this thread. this one goes from + -30° and would do 10 degrees.
there isnt much adjustment anywhere else though but thought id try grinding.
is it adjustable to a 10 degree cutter angle? Thanks for your help
