Simington / Silvey Square Chain Grinders Tips/Tricks/Secrets

[tek9tim]

Bump

Hey- I've read up to page 46 on this (and others as well) and did searches on the fourm but have so far seen no mention of this grinder which is currently available at Baileys from time to time.. does anyone have any experience with these? Gotta say to me it sounds good and is cheaper than what you would pay for some of the old Silvey models.. opinions? Thoughts? Experience? Please share any you have.

I bit the bullet at work, started a separate thread on it. TL;DR- I like it, but needs improvements like every other square grinder.

Thread 'T&S CZ223 review'

Today at 6:28 PM

It was pretty hard to find any info on the relatively new CZ223 square grinder, so when there was some money in the work budget for a square grinder, I decided to buy one and find out myself.

First and foremost, I'm not a super experienced square grinder. For about 20 years, I've bought Oregon CJ and square filed it as long as I could keep the angles good and then started round filing. I just started square grinding in earnest about 5 years ago when I got ahold of a used Simington 451B for my home shop. I have a lot of time on that machine, and I've sharpened a few loops on a Silvey RS2...
