Simington / Silvey Square Chain Grinders Tips/Tricks/Secrets

[moparnut88]

Planning to make a collapsible and height adjustable stand just don’t know the dimension of the hole the stand goes into in the baseplate/shroud I’ve seen anywhere from 1”- 1 1/4”
Aka anywhere from1.35-1.66 O.D.

1 1/4" sounds about right. I'll be home around 7 to verify.

My 450 is made different sorry. For some reason I though it was made the same. FWIW this it 1 3/8" Id 1 5/8" od pipe I used on that mount. It's what I had laying around.

Want to make on that the top telescopes down into the bottom section and legs fold up so it comes down to about 2’-2.5’ total when folded and collapsed

That’s the Silvey style mount.

Spoke with Mr Peile this afternoon, difference betweeen the 451b and C is one bearing on the swing arm, the stand pipe diameter is 1.5” common iron pipe O.D. 1.9” which is close enough to 1.875”

I run a pretty square style of chain haven’t had the time to spend swapping a 404 yet.

Think this is still good?
This is an extra dresser that came with the grinder
This is the multi point one right?

This is listed as a madsen’s 831 Wheel.
Seems pretty aggressive and I’m using it for converting and big changes to a tooth.

I’m really new at this but it seems really nice thus far.

The wheels that came with,

Seriously, has anyone ever seen one of these?
Can’t find any info

This was untouched till I got it.

I’m gonna dress this ugly bugger down till I can grind Lo pro.

Other than that, the whole operation could really use some cleaning and lube.

Any tips?

Looks like the brown resinoid that came with a new Silvey.

If you pull up Madsens catalog online it’ll tell you a little about the wheels

That is a cluster point dresser. Still has life. Clean the machine as much as you can without using compressed air...

This is how I’ve set up my harvester chains for now, I’ve got a chain or two I might try to square full square if it’ll fit in the guide of the pro sharp.
