I’ll add this, because it’s often the next question:
Center Grinding Wheel
Your grinder has instructions for centering the grinding wheels over the chain vise in the instruction manual (a PDF version may be available on line if you don’t have this). This needs to be checked, periodically, as the wheels wear, and change diameter, or if you change wheels.
The other thing is that these are semi-precision machines that sometimes require compensation. My procedure (takes longer to read than to do!):
- grind all the cutters on one side (say, the Left cutters);
- grind one, ‘test cutter’ on the other (Right) side;
- compare this test cutter, back-to-back, with one cutter from the other side, and adjust grinder settings (chain stop, wheel depth, etc.) as needed.
- grind the rest of the cutters.
This becomes ‘automatic’ to me. I do my Left cutters first, back off the chain stop 1/4 to 1/2 turn, lower my grinder head stop the same, and I am usually right on.
