I believe the square grinder attachment has been NLA for years

Yeah, I know that I’m talking about this new square jig the one that Filbert just posted beneath I’ve watched a couple YouTube and it looks like it does a pretty good damn chain

Report back in here if you get one. Square grinders are fussy but well worth the effort.

Yes this is the one I mean….i have heard people say they have it but not many reviews seem a guy on YouTube was getting good results…. I’m tempted to buy one why well not because I need it just because I’d like to have it lol….. I actually have a couple 20 inch rolls of Oregon square ground that I’ve never used in the middle of getting all my wood ready for this year or more at the end of it but I may put that roll on and try it in my 362 and see how I like it if I like it, I might just buy that damn thing. But I also was thinking I may get the wheel first because I think I may be able to set my steel USG or Oregon grinder up to where it may make a square edge I’d have to play with it first.

There have been threads on other forums and Facebook sites. Pretty positive feedback.

Like anything else, there is a slight learning curve, so, practice on scrap chain first.

Will not work on grinders with a hydraulic or automatic clamp. I think that the inventor likes the Tecomec EVO grinder best, due the tbe adjustability of the sliding vise.

Well I got a Oregon 520 and I just preserved one so I will report back when I get a chain done with it…no idea when it will be here but I talked to the owners today and he is a gentleman of a human!!

Also if you can send link to the facebooks reviews I would love to see those!!

I have seen people talk about having it but not any info on how the chains cut..

Well boys I ordered one and will report back…talked to the owner and seems like a great guy…don’t know how long it will take to get it but will report back as soon as I get it!!!

I have a Hexa grind wheel from Baltic Abrasives (I helped do their prototype ) that I am able to do sq grinds with my USG. It is tricky but seems to work ok.
The wheel worked great on the Hexa type chains…Husqvarna C-83, Dukes, etc.
Rakers need to be down a bit more with this chain, in my limited experience.
