How do you like it,did you buy it new or used??

Also I have talked to a few guys that say even new they have a lot of slop in the arm so you think it does??

I purchased mine new, and pulled apart the arm bearings, cleaned and greased them, eliminated the end play and havent had any issues yet. That was a few years ago

I will start by posting pics of my first "decent cutting" ground chain....the chain in the back a brand new out of the box RM 3/8 chain...the chain in the front is the chain I ground....

The angles I used were 30 top plate, and 55 side plate and "0" tilt.....

I found it very odd that the angles that stihl "recommends" is 30 top plate and 75 side plate....I put the brand new RM chain up to the grinding wheel and it looked like to me that 55 degree side plate was a lot closer to the factory chain than 75.... any thoughts on this... do different brand grinders use different angle settings????View attachment 41135View attachment 41136

The 75 degree recommended angle is for hand filing

That's a nice set-up.... ya eventually I may get a CBN wheel... has you used you CBN a lot yet.... I know they say they last a long time!!!!

I have just got my 1/8" and 3/16" CBN wheels and they are so, so nice. They don't produce as much heat by far and I don't have to clean the chains as much.

Square is a fad it will go away. Cutters don't look very good off a square grinder...
