Replacement Grinding Wheel for 511AX

[stihlaficionado]

Time to replace the grinding wheel on the 511AX. The OEM part no. is OR 534-316(5 3/4, x 3/16,x 7/8)

Any recommendations other than the Oregon OEM?

Thanks in advance

Those work fine for me.

Was thinking about the www.sharpchain.com offering

Oregon wheel is about $25-$29 plus shipping

I went ahead and bought a CBN wheel from Diamond Wheel Inc., in fact I bought both a 1/8" and 3/16" wheel for .325 & 3/8 LP and for 3/8 & .404. I find the CBN wheels are much less likely to burn the cutters and the shape remains correct forever. They are more expensive than the pink wheels but last much, much longer so in the end I think you will find they are more cost effective.

Ditto. Just don’t dress/clean the wheel with a stone.
