Looks like good work chain angles,what do you have the base slide set at ? 0 or 10 ?
The oregon grinder i used to have was a 511 ax
The pink wheels heat the cutters more than the usg wheels ,i can fix a rocked out chain on one pass most of the time ,takes some getting used to at first but i like the usg better,i think i got it 3 years ago or so cant remember for sure.

I have been leaving the vise tilt at "0".....

Ya it's funny how they have the complete opposite head tilt....

I got good results with the the stone wheels, but the CBNs can take you to the next level....

I would like to try a usg, but no one around here I know has one, or any grinder for that matter....

Here are some of the first RS chains I did with the grinder....I used the stone wheels on these for sure!!!

Oh and have you ever tried the CBN wheels??

 

[junkman]

Never tried cbn wheels,that looks good and sharp ,has more hook than i run ,the more hook you have, the more grabby it gets which loads the saw more,if the saw will pull it stay with it ,but i run 32 inch bars so i have to be more conservitive on angles,,less hook helps if bore or plunge cut a lot also.

Oh sorry it is chainsaw repair, like any other site a lot of good info/reading, just have to weed threw the idiots and dickheads LOL!!!

I caught myself weeding so often that I fired up the 4wheeler with my sprayer and mixed up a batch of round up.

Ok guys I had a buddy tell me if a USG forsale, and dammit if I just couldn't pass it up...looks to be in great shape...comes with 5-stone wheels, a cyclone type CBN, and a never used Stihl carbide wheel...


It is one of those things I could have lived with out, but as long as I keep selling saws I will be ok!!!!

Anyway here are some pics, let me know what you think...

Oh and to all you guys that use these USG, do you have to change out a shin in the vise when you go from ,50 to .63 gauge chain????

It is spring loaded with a cam lever on mine ,no need to change anything on the vise .

 

[junkman]

Does your grinder have a light on it ? My 511ax used to ,but the usg i have does not ,the light would be nice if have eyes like mine .

Hey if you have any pics of your base could you post them up....this grinder is being mailed to me, and will be here Thursday...I won't know, but I assume all the usg grinders are the same...I didn't know if they had any little changes to them I've the years....

Can't read it, but it looks similar to the Dynasaw . . . they might have engraved other names into their products, or other companies may also produce the ventilated wheels.
