Not sure which nut your talking. But I'm all ears. Lol.

Do you have a picture of front of the grinder where the chain goes ?

SDM4 is much different than RS2.

Kind of backwards compared to a RS 2. I kick myself every time I see one of these posted for not buying one when Madsens closed them out at $999. I bought a swing arm being a tight ass.

Is there anyway to adjust the chain holder this way ?

Holder no. But the whole chain guide yes. Theres stops on both ends. The stop pictured is how far it feeds into the stone.

I will get an image of where my rs2 where the chain touches the wheel tonight ,not sure if you can translate the angles or not ,but you will have an idea how the wheel and the cutter look together during a grind to try to duplicate it .
It looks like the adjuster stop on the chain guide is where i would adjust it .

There should be a adjustable stop for the corner alignment. Then a adjustable stop for the infeed. Motor placement and top of stone has a lot to do with top plate angle. Slide arms are similar to swing arms, not the sdm4.

there was an sdm on eBay the other day without the dressers. $2300.

I seen it. Older, green model also. Didn't last long. Probably took first good offer. Also had some levers that other SDM owners thought was odd.

Don't know what you offered Carl. I talked to the guy on the phone, he took 1500

I didn't offer anything I just seen it. I'm glad you got it though.

The chain I just ground.

You have a little side beak on that one. I would try dressing the top of the stone with a little shallower angle and then move the carriage back a little until it feeds enough so you can match the corners.

Lol, I didn't get it. Little steep for me

Ya I noticed that. Practice practice practice. Lol. Shallower? Do you mean more flatter like the first stone that was on it or dress it even less of an angle than I have now?
