I'm just checking if I am between production batches? I would still like to get a washer and shim?
Well it has been some time now and I was wondering if the powers that be would have any time to make some more shims and washers? Just curious as I was at the tail-end of the first go-around and never got these
I would guess the party is over on this one. I used my grinder without the kit. You just have to measure and readjust before you start grinding the opposite teeth. Takes a little more time when swithing sides, but then slick as a whistle after that.
I've been having a bit of trouble with switching to the opposite side myself. Any tips on what you do? I find I have to reset the stop. I did about 8 grinds with no problems but the last one I did went wrong and the chain veers off to one side slightly when I cut. So I didn't get an even cut from one side to the other.
Resetting the stop for the other side is what I used to do. I'm sure you already know, but if the teeth on one side are ground more significantly than the other, the saw will not cut true. Okay for cutting off root flares, not good for much else.
Measure the teeth. On the shorter of the two sides, take off only as much as needed to get your edge back on the tooth. Then flip the angle and tilt. On the other side, measure out what you need to get the tooth the same as the first side then back off just a tad. Grind then recheck with ruler and take off a little more if needed. I try to keep my cutter lengths within a 32nd of an inch. Rakers ground last.
What is the deal with these washers ? What do they do ??????
