Had to see if it would make a difference...


It didn’t...

On what saw?

Bigger saw might make more difference.
I could be wrong

 

[Hedgerow]

Did you tunnel the cutters before you tried that?

May have similar effect as tunneling. But only need one?

No..
Just wanted to see if it would cut crooked..

 

[huskihl]

I just use the force..
The backs of the tie straps are lying bastards....

So my grinder isn't a piece of shìt?

Factory produced chain is flawed..

But yer grinder could still be a piece of *s-word...

Lol

Stoning first might correct some of that

Done that..
Still can be *f-worded up..

It’s where they index.. they all close, but not perfect for sure.

Been my experience too. My Force Foo isn't strong enough yet to eyeball them without using the arm stops

I can see it once it’s there, usually have to force it down a bump.

If it’s top beaked ya gotta back off the stop a touch and run it again

511ax clone ftw

I used the force a lot with the grinders I had. With Shaun’s bearing kit it was better hit indexing off the back the first grind or two still produced top and side beaks.

 

[Hedgerow]

There is a trick...

I think you should have your "..." privileges removed... Lol.

Missed the up cut lol

Need to get the chip out a little better, but it’s cuttin nice.

It seems the chassis heights are not very consistent.

Not at all. It drove me crazy. On a swing arm it was easier to hit the corner every time with chain being so inconsistent. It had a lot more flex with barely any pressure.

Brake flag will guide you right to the next cut lol.
Looks good though, that little guy is screaming.

True, on the newer simingtons the vertical adjustment is easy to monkey with as well.

I need to make a grinder that references off the top of the tooth.
