I don't care if it will win a race or not..

If it's grind is within 10% of the factory grind, it would be acceptable.. We're going for quantity here, not quality..

If I wanted super lightning results, I'd just send all my chains to Thomas to file...

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

Might be better to send it to my Grandson he needs to practice

Sorry Thomas.

Damn right!!! I’m your huckleberry...

Send me a chain, then take the time to do a thorough comparison. Then post your results.

Philbert

I don't think most of us care how a chain done by this machine will cut vs. our own hand filled chain. The benchmark would be how it cuts vs. a fresh factory chain. And really that's the only fair thing to expect out of the machine. It doesn't have to be better than factory, but it should be close. At least that's all I care about anyway.

 

[Leafy]

Same. If it at least gets as close to fresh rs3 as round filing it then is a winner.

Just asking. Why not compare it to a hand filed chain???
Am I missing something?

Hand file should win. If you’re decent at it.

Too much variation. Round or square file? What jig, angles, depth gage? 3 swpies and done, file till each cutter fully sharp, make all the cutters match the worst?

Factory chain is the only consistant base line?

 

[RI Chevy]

OK. I hear ya. My round hand file chains always cut better than the way it comes out of the box. I use whatever angle the witness mark is. Usually 25*.

Because it's not a standard benchmark Jeff. What if I can't file anywhere near as good a philbert? Or way better? What does an auto-ground loop compared to a chain SOMEONE ELSE filed tell you?

I understand where you all are coming from. But my point is...
I compare this grinder to my hand file. I hand file so that is my benchmark. It's all I have ever done for 40 years. I'm just a blue collar guy. [emoji854]
So for me If I am going to buy this grinder, I would compare the chain it puts out to what I do. If the grind is close to what I do, then it may be worth it for me. It the chain does not come close to my hand file, then I will continue to hand file.
And I am just talking simple hand file using an Oregon hand guide attached to the file. Very simple. I'm a simple guy.
That's all. So I guess everyone's baseline is different.
No worries, carry on guys......

See if Phil will sharpen a chain you send him so you can compare once he has it all figured out.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Sounds like @Philbert needs to have a GTG so every one can go run this chain grinder.

To get a chain to him and back is more than the cost of the chain. [emoji52]

But then you'd know.

 

[huskihl]

And since when did money come into play? These are chainsaws.

 

[RI Chevy]

Lol. I'mma po boy.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Lol. I'mma po boy.

Spend 300 dollars for the grinder. Or 30 dollars for chain and shipping. Hhuummmmmm.

 

[WKEND LUMBERJAK]

Lol. I'mma po boy.

Your a Stihlguy that's why your broke.
