I'm not sure what I like more, the grinder or the solo twin.

That’s what I’m saying... you can’t post a picture of a Pro Sharp with a Solo Twin and 090 in the background. Kinda takes the grinder out of the spot light

SDM-4 and Pro-Sharp are badass, but nothing beats a Ziegelmeyer

The guy I picked this up from had a ziggy raker grinder, as well as the hdg-6 raker grinder.

It was at Madsens not long along. Got all new wear parts -$900 worth with labor. I will still check!

Appreciate the advice! Might have a few questions setting it up

No problem I’ll send you a pm.

i have only had one chain break before and it broke where it was joined i thing that the rivets were spun too much when it was put together. i have however had all of the cutters stripped off of a chain before they were on their last grind and only lasted about 15 minutes.

I’ve had a few fail in a few places. Watch some of the results of our chain races when we have them .......
You can even go back into some old threads and you’ll find all sorts of failures from files hitting the chassis at the rivets.View attachment 260123
This one had the driver open up at the front and whipped the operators leg pretty good. Chaps let him take only a bruise away.

As far as running your ported 390, gear it up a bit and start cutting some square wood ....... you’ll see quickly what you can get away with and what you can’t

May have gotten a little carried away with chassis work. Grinding or filing on the straps/chassis definitely weakens it.
