NSFW 3/4” pitch, Harvester chain grinder

[singinwoodwackr]

These things are in the $3k range, new and that ain’t happening. So, looking for an old one in rebuildable condition.
Whatcha got?

Can’t seem to delete this…wtf?

Are there old ones around and what type are you looking for?

I haven’t searched that hard for used yet but I’d imagine there are some out there.
These are $2k which is way more than I can justify. Nice machine, however.

My USG does them but it is a struggle since I doubt these machines are meant for that big a chain.

Seems Ore makes one, 530-120 for under $500. Will look used…

Lol

I think the 530 will work. I could justify buying one to replace the cheap Vevor I use for rakers now. I’m doing 3-4 3/4” chains a week but may wind up with more.

3/4 chain is supported out of the box by Super Jolly and its derivatives, e.g. Oregon 620.

Other Tecomec grinders like the Compact, Jolly Evo, and Jolly Star also officially support 3/4" chains when equipped with additional accessories such as a vise kit or a backstop. For example, Archer sells Tecomec kit K00200406, which fits both the Jolly Evo and the Oregon 410, for $25.

Ebay vise kit

This is the specs on the timber tuff Oregon knock offs, I have two right now and have ground at least 1000 chains on them so I’ve definitely got my monies worth at 129&149$ when I bought them

I have a Silvey P&D with the arched table I'd sell.

I got a new 530 and it works great. It is just the new version of their 520 but with a larger carriage for the big chains. I also got the smaller 520 jaw kit to be able to do rakers on regular chains so it replaces my cheap Vevor.

I did have to modify the chain stop...I think somebody goofed and put the 520 version on it. Easy fix, cut off 3/8", works now.

Here is the Silvey P&D I have. I made the 510 style table for it so you can grind regular chain with it as well.
