I received the unit yesterday - just unboxed it. Initial impressions is it seems chintzy, specifically the chain stop. Wiggles around more than I would like.
But let me first use it, the slop may not be an issue???

As long as your chain keeps stopping in the same place each time its pulled back and clamped it should be okay.

I put a few rounds of teflon tape on the threads of the chain stop on mine. The wheel was slowly turning out as the grinder was going. I use the tall stop on all chains. Seems to hold the tooth down better. I guess it may present a small issue once the wheel gets worn enough to where the grinder body bottoms out on it, but I'll cross that bridge once I get there.
