Stihl usg grinder?? Possible to set up to square grind

[redoakneck]

Might be able to obtain an old stihl grinder. Not sure if usg or not, any way to tell from pic or serial number???

I know there is a hard to find, impossible, attachment that is made for it to do it, can this attachment be copied or fabricated easily???

Any help really appreciated!!!

usg models have adjustable head tilt...hos models don't. id like to find a square attachment too. I have some of the wheels...just waiting to find the needle in a haystack, like you.

Ever feel like its easter and every egg is hidden like a pirate treasure, and it takes years to find the tools u really want!!!!

Glad I got my fg2, 200t, 044 10mm,Bing carb for my 660 w velocity stack,

Really like that square ground chain but I take for ever getting it right with hand file, my round cuts really well, I just know I could be a little better and a little easier with a grinder

The usg looks like a beefy grinder. Not sure about the other model.

Hope this pans out for you buddy!

 

[redoakneck]

It will, just might take a couple years???

We need to find a new one and see if scarr can replicate it for us . I know him and homelite410 both do nice work !

I was thinking the same thing. If someone actually had one and was willing to take better pics and maybe a video of it in action, it would probably be fairly easy to duplicate and probably adapt to others like the 511 series.

Ahhhh, the holy grail: a square grind adaptor for the 511A . . . Probably easier to make a knock off of a Silvey Swing arm grinder. Pretty simple in design. Once a guy set up the parts on a CNC . . .

Anywhere from $100 to $200 an hour for CNC machining, the price of a Simington would be cheap.

Or you filing it by hand buddy how are you ?

Been looking for one for my USG since 07 or 08. Dont matter now as I am out of it and sold all my square filing jigs, files, ATOP, etc.

I would just buy a new Simington now days. Roger did and and did a good thread on it. Nice.

I have USG…I could make the parts if I had something to go on.
