Kool Grind

[Tomazcolton64]

Anyone ever try Kool grind or anything like it on there grinding wheel for sharpening chains? I don't normally have a problem with Stihl wheels unless its a rocked chain and have to take a good chunk off the tooth. then I notice higher heat even with slower taps of the wheel.

It’s just wax, like a candle or crayon, that fills in the pores of the grinding wheel, to kerp out dirt.

Tried it. Did not notice a significant difference.

Cleaning chains before grinding did a lot more. And regularly dressing the wheel.

I have a Kool Mist attachment that I can move from one grinder to the other as needed. Blows a little mist of air/water on the tooth while grinding. I use a CBN wheel and find there are fewer issues with overheating but you still need to go slowly to avoid overheating the tooth. Keeping the wheel clean is also important, there is a cleaning stick supplied with the wheels that I use from time to time as well as the mister.

Is the head angle at 50 degrees in this picture?

I use a cheap Amazon Kool Mist style setup that just blows air on my tooth, no mist, or water. That seems to do a good job with my Tecomec white wheels.
