Chainsaw grinder questions, tips, tricks, and pics!!!!

....it would seem like using a strong solvent for cleaning could degrade the bond?

I don't think that CBN wheels use the softer, resin bond. Best thing would be to ask the manufacturer of the wheel(s) you are considering.

@Louie B
Could explain the different wheels in detail.

They don't fit your grinder though. You need the 5-3/4" ones

How do I get someone's worn down wheels with an inch hole to go on my old little hole grinder? Someone have a line on arbor bushings?

What size arbor do you have? My Foley 308 takes 5" x 1/2" wheels, and I got them here:

The last one for harvester chain has over an inch hole. I can get plenty of worn down wheels with 1" holes. I want the adapter to use those wheels up on rocked chain and used chains. Trying to cut my cost everywhere. This will leave me a better margins. Everything is about coin for me right now. Setting myself up for success this time around. OPE, it's staff and good honest people here are helping me do that.

I bet someone with a lathe could make you up something pretty easy.

Yup. Easier to buy them.
I'm digging around on the web more. I'll put a request in to that link also. He might have a set available. 4" grinding wheel works good the drags. I set it up on rubber orings. It works good with a Chicago flat chain clamp on my grinder.

It's not the arbor, it's the diameter
Those that he posted are for the smaller grinders with the 4.5" diameter wheel. His and mine are Oregon 511 copies and use the bigger ones

Nvm. I see you were talking to Kenny. Thought you were replying to Dave.

What size arbor do you have now, 7/8"? You just need a bushing, I could machine one out in no time.

I normally run my worn silvey wheels on my round grinders once they are too small for the RSII. They remove material fast!

I had to dress one down a little further than it was worn before it would fit in my 300.

Your picking up what I'm putting down. Many guys around here run 1"-1 1/4" set ups. Plus @kingOFgEEEks just found the plastic bushings. I was considering GM automatic shift linkage white bushing, shaved down. The plastic jobs are easy to thin out when you need to. Aready have some cupped washers to fit my drive. The old labels make nice shims. The steel bushings and brass ones are a pia and don't fit spun centers. Plastic also expands easily.
Got this small electric motor all set up for dressing wheels down.
My machine has a 2 3/4" swing or clearance. It can be opened up another 1/4". This leaves me lots of cheap options. My chain clamps also fit 180 around. Need to tighten up the vice hole and mark the opposite side with a degree scales. Been using my angle finder to set up.

I just spun it on the RSII and hit it with a dressing brick until it was small enough to fit in the 300. I had to take around 1/2" off the OD.

I hear ya. Dressed down a nine inch wheel one day on the 12" chop saw. Need to hack off some roof steel with the circular saw out back seven extension cords down the line
Asked for pre cuts

I use the Red Devil metal cutting carbide saw blades for that. Make sure it's not a plastic cased circular saw.

Me too. That was a few decades ago. When your pressed for time and the store is closed...

Fantastic plastic. Did you catch that piece?
