Simington / Silvey Square Chain Grinders Tips/Tricks/Secrets

[Khntr85]

What I like, someone else mite not like as much. Reckon it's just what you get comfortable with running.
I have a rs2 that I'll sell, but after the updated roller kit gets made for it. Or if someone would like it now, I would sell it and ship the kit when I get it.
Personally I like the rs2.

I didn't mean to put you on the spot.....I just wondered what your "go to" square grinder was...

I wish I was 100% ready to get one now, I would be all over it....I just don't know if I am ready to drop that kind of money yet, ya know....especially since it will be a novelty piece for my use only...

Gotta start somewhere. If your gonna grind, your gonna need the equipment.

Gullets notcleaned yet, but we're trying some different angles. What do you guys think of the forward angle? Is it to much?

 

[mdavlee]

Looks only like 2 or 3 degrees.

Would you do more? Or less?

 

[mdavlee]

I like 3°

Looks like 0 or 1 degree there.

I'll put more in it

I'll figure it out one day.

Yep. It took me a whole roll of chain and 2 wheels to get what I liked for a work chain.

I must have misunderstood, I was thinking someone told me just a little forward lean for a work chain. I have it set back at 5 degree now

Or I could stay at sharpening mower blades

2-3° is ideal. It will be smooth and feed good. Depending on the picture it looks like you have 1 or 2 at most or even backward lean. That makes a super smooth chain but needs lower rakers to feed

Let's hope not backwards. That was the sam degree I sent you.

All have been very smooth. Some I did lower rakers more.

Is there a tool out there that I could use, to measure my lean degree?
