Tecomec chain spinner and breaker...are they any good?

[huskihl]

Curious as to the quality of these. Anyone have any experience with them?

Italian made set is great. I've had mine for 7 years

I got mine from Madsens. Don't think it was tecomec brand but was Italian made. Still on the original punch.

Looks like it's made in China

 

[mdavlee]

Look for Italian or older Oregon that still has parts

Kevin,

Are you looking at the set on eBay? If so, you'd be better off trying to get the Precision Tooling set from the guy in Texas.

Yes, and thanks. I'll look into that

I have experienced it. Stick RPG 2

I have a set from HF that has made around 50 chains that does an excellent job IMO

$100 will get you a Tecomec set delivered to your door from Minnesota, ArcherPlus and e-bay. Good product.

I been looking at the same set Kevin, let me know what you decide to buy please, Oregon is over 225.00, pricey.

Check with Nate @fordf150 I am pretty sure he's $150 for the Oregon breaker/ spinner set up.

Thank you.

A local to me business is selling a used Carlton spinner, a used "ama" breaker and a "ama" grinder for 150€.

I'm not too interested in the grinder but I am curious about the breaker and spinner.
I doubt "ama" is known in the US, but what's the word on Carlton spinners?

To say it before hand, there is no money to be made sharpening chains in my area, and loops can be had starting at ~15$ for a 72DL 3/8".
The only use would be my own, if even that!

P.S.:
I know I'm off topic!

Did anyone ever try the Tecomec stuff? I've got the spinner and breaker in my Ebay shopping cart.

Mine works fine. I mounted the spinner and breaker onto one hardwood creation that I can lock into my bench's end vise. It works really well. So far I would estimate that I have sharpened 500 chains with it. Still running strong. It's professional.

I take it you have the Tecomec grinder as well? I ordered both the spinner and breaker today. While searching for the spinner and breaker I saw the Tecomec bar mounted sharpening jig and ordered the "deluxe" version. It looks like better build quality and easier adjustments on the Tecomec version compared to the Granberg I have now. Probably a different story when comparing to the older Granberg jigs.

I just bought the Tecomec set myself. Been using a cheap HF unit up until now, but the Tecomec set is much nicer. Only used it once so far, but seems great. I did the same as suggested above, mounted both to a 2x4” so I can easily put it in my bench vise and remove it when done.
I also bought the “Type B” spinner handle and anvil for 1/4” , 3/8”LP and .325.

I believe Tecomec makes the Oregon stuff. It’s identical, except for the color.
Same with their grinders. I have the Tecomec Super Jolly, which is the same as the Oregon 620-120.
