Is it a name brand spinner? I got one of the harbor freight ones and it works but quality is always preferred.

It's from Bailey's online, got it along with a breaker and the 100' reel of ripping chain thinking all that was needed. Has not been used much. Keep misplacing the anvil to the breaker, kinda enjoy setting the rivets with a hammer

Get a small magnet and put on the breaker, stick the anvil to it when not in use.

I use the neodym (rare earth) magnets. I use two when popping rivets to hold the chain without it worming away from the press, and they hold the base when not in use

You all are fancy.

I just keep it in my tool box.

I feel inadequate somehow.

Leas you have one!

The best question for a spinner what size chains are you doing and do you plan on doing?

All 3/8 for me.

I have this spinner with an old heavy duty Oregon that can do 3/4” without issues. The spinner is great having inserts to do all chains you can think of.

@John F Reilly
Long thread, but thought it might interest you

Square file 102 please. More vids on this please John.

I'm curious about the "stoning" of the chain.

And I'm also curious about the raker mod, making them almost upright and straight. It also looks like a LOT of weight is ground out of the chain. Which I'm sure, a lot of it is only for race chains and not work chains.

About this whole gullet discussion.
This is a new patent that stihl apllied for.
Its about a mix of round and square grind.
But see the pics.

Interessting is the roundfile with a flat side to file with a gullet.
Seems they know that a gullet increases cutting performance.

Cool new file patents.

 

[Deets066]

I’d rather see the round cleaning out the gullet and a square corner

 

[RI Chevy]

Anyone try this new file yet? Or better question is it available yet? I think the cutter is odd looking. probably cut good though.
