I have not bought a Simington or any grinder. A member offered to grind some chain for me so I’m gonna go that route when needed for the time being.

I have a 390 built by Scott and know his work is top notch. For my next built saw I’m kinda wanting to give @stumpshot a try just cus he’s somewhat local.

Good discussion guy’s! I was curious on what people would say and I’m a little surprised there wasn’t more mention of the bigger Stihl’s like a 044, 066 or 661. I’ll admit I’m a Husky fan but I was gonna get a 661 or a 592 built if more people thought either could out cut a built 395.

Here’s one I’m really curious on… From what I’ve seen they’re ain’t too much out there touching a properly built 395…but what about a well built 593? I know the 5 series husky’s don’t get the love the 2 and 3 series did but do you think a built 593 could walk by a built 395???

So just for fun I’m wondering what the saw builder’s out there think is their favorite saw to build? What saw can you make the strongest within it’s class of saw? What saw sees the biggest gains over stock? What’s gonna be the all out fastest saw in average wood and/or big wood? Of course...

Alright now for a question I have based on a response I got in this thread. What is a progressive vs (non-progressive?) depth gauge? The raker guides that you slap in at an angle to sit under one tooth and on the cutting edge of the next tooth like the one attached to the husky roller guide or...

Kurtz, thank you again for the offer I really appreciate it. Farminkarman has offered to help me out occasionally as well and he lives pretty close by so I’m gonna go that route for now but I’ll keep you in mind should something happen.

Kurtz I definitely appreciate the offer and yes waiting a few weeks would be perfectly fine with me. I’m not looking for this to be an all the time thing but just to get some chains straightened out here and there and hand file in between. Once I have 4-5 chains I want ground I’ll get ahold of...

I’m in central Wisconsin near Berlin

Thanks for the help so far guy’s! Chipper1, I don’t have a round grinder either but I suppose it would probably be pretty easy to find someone to do this for me. Another idea I’m playing with is buying a new Simmington square grinder and see if I could get some business sharpening square...

I’m looking to see if there is anyone in Wisconsin that has a square grinder for square ground chain? I hand file square but it seems no matter what after several sharpening’s I have different length teeth and of course I’m a little better at one side than the other. So I’m looking to see if...
