I hang onto the chain to keep the tooth back against the stop. It seems to steady it some on my rig...

Me two. Tried it that way from reading whole thread three times lol that looks like a white wheel, is that roughing down to the cutters that are smaller than a work chain?

You can still use The Force, on a simmington..
Push up, pull down.. lotsa variables for the Indian there.

Clean and grease the Torringtons, then set for zero end play

No more force to recon with

Your force is or will soon be squeaking

I always liked how you could flex the swing arms to do exactly what you want without adjusting anything

I found a line between putting back pressure on chain to hold against stopper and pulling to hard and moving arm down.

Man, my force has been squeaking for years.

I played football remember.

Sorry, but thats why people should stay clear of used swing/slide arms. Machine accuracy is longer.

 

[Duane(Pa)]

Not a lot of choices out there...

 

[Hedgerow]

I looked a while for a pro sharp, but no luck.
So simmington it was.
No regrets.

That being said, if a good pro sharp comes up for sale, I’ll get it too..

Torrington bearings last forever if they’re taken care of in this type of application. It’s also very easy to replace the set of bearings and races, arm wear on the newer Simingtons shouldn’t be an issue at all.

If flexing it .020” in that span occasionally for a short tooth is that bad then I’d say all of them are being done that way

How often do everyone dress there wheel to keep it cutting and not burning the tooth?
