I need help with Stihl USG chain grinder. What stones are recommended and from where? At minimum I need wheel for 3/8 and depth gauge.
What do I use for profiling and dressing?
Are there any tutorials? The guy I am helping has one and has used it for years but I think he is taking some bad shortcuts.
He loves my handfiled chains but I can only do a couple saws after a day’s cutting and not really make progress on the countless loops of saw chain.
I could also use advice with grinding the rakers with the profiled stone.
I have hardly any idea what I am doing.
I have probably done 10-13 chains and starting to get an idea of how it works. Minus the depth gauges. Some of his chains took 30 passes with the handfile per gauge…. Others have not needed anything.
Thanks guys!
