I did it. The wallet hurts.

I already bought a stone to cut the bulk of wheel so I don't waste the diamond hones.

It will arrive with a pre shaped blue stone. Everybody’s used to wearing masks now, just don’t breathe the shat that comes off stone while dressing. It are nasty...

I was thinking that but I got mine used so I wasn't sure!

Can also run your dressers out long and put the angle finder on there

Thanks for those tips!

Just wondering, are the wheels a standard size?

 

[Thumper88]

I had asked about other stuff when i ordered mine. You might find some good info here. I bought a digital angle finder at Tractor Supply for i think $30 as well

All you guys with DAFs, do yours just change readings based on one axis of rotation like you'd expect or is there more to it?

For example, put it down in front of you so you can see the screen, zero it,, and tip it away from you but still flat and level, then towards. Does it say zero all the way through? (Mine doesn't.)

What style of multipoint/cluster dresser are you all using?

What style of multipoint/cluster dresser are you all using?

I have not seen options on these. They seem to be either single point or multi point. I have both styles. I use the multi point on the larger area of the top surface, and a single point on the edge surface, which is kind of minor. (I keep the edge pretty narrow because I have been dinkin' around with .325)

You won’t regret it! Buy a spare wheel of Madsen’s, I like the blue ones. I’ve only tried single point dressers but want to try multi too.

You’ll use it more in the first two days than you will in the first month! I plan to put a Scarr chain holder on mine, nice upgrade

Curious what brand of chain is that? I don't recognize the straps.

 

[Wonkydonkey]

I think it’s the new Oregon stuff “EXL”

 

[Dolkitafreak]

Yes, takes a small shim then it’s good. Better metal than plastic.

Oregon EXL, great chain, better than LGX and Stihl chain imo.
