Wheel dressing

[michael j]

I was abused as a child...
Of course it was self inflicted..............................

My mom told me if I kept it up I'd go blind, too. Now I gotta wear glasses.

I second what tawsilson said... thanks for owning it. Now we move on.

As a non-pro, and in the ongoing quest to kill two birds with one stone, the most intruiging post is the one that said he only flips and never has to dress his wheel.

BTW Fish, I think we're all "eclectic misfits" here...

I have not seen these grinders either, but for the price, they are likely not
much. The size of the arbor/quality of the wheels available is another question that I do not know the answer to. Yes, I was out of line, of which
I am usually guilty.

I have a bad habit of saying things that piss people off, maybe that is
why I have never been able to keep any decent job, as we all know, someone
that says what he thinks is dangerous when the big bosses are around.

I try to make up for my shortcomings by trying to be helpful. I do not
post a lot here, because Stihltech or Andy have already provided the correct
answer.

Yes, Sorry, I am excitable when the brew is cold and flowing.

The next morning I am remorseful, and reluctant to log back in, trying to
remember who, or how many, I have pissed off.

I do not sharpen anymore anyway, I just hand them to this guy..............

Wholy ****...............that pic's like ???? to a toolmaker! :love1:

NICE MACHINE , fish !

Use "cool grind" to stop the stop the wheel loading up... not profile dressing/grinding it...

cool grind?

+1 on the magnet. I put magnets in a plastic bag when I grind. I haven't found a shop-vac strong enough to gte all the filings off...

It's a wax-like stick that Stihl and others sell.

wax-like stick

hmm, never heard of that in this context. Use tap-ease all the time when tapping and drilling...

 

[Lakeside53]

It performs a different functon - stops the cutter metal from sticking to the wheel. Make a real nice grind finish.

 

[precaud]

Hmmm... did you mean "Cool Tool" ?

 

[Lakeside53]

Nope, I mean "Kool Grind" - It's in the Stihl catalog - part number 0787 940 1751. About $3 a stick. There are other sources.

I now use it on my battery powered grinder (sharpens my mill chains when on the mill.

Fish, all your apologies are pissing me off!:biggrinbounce2:


Just kidding buddy, I suffer from Speakyourmind Syndrome also.



These really are good grinders, not much if any difference between this and the 511, Lil fit and finishish all.



Hey God, I hear the new generation "Cool grind" sticks have 12% sugar added to prevent drawing back the material when grinding.

Looked up the MSDS, one ingredient is "hardend fats". With the sugar, they make a perfect vegetarian slim-jim replacement stick. :biggrinbounce2:
