    Any pics of .404 next to .375 cutters

    wow I forgot how big the .404 dl and chassis was.

    Any pics of .404 next to .375 cutters

    Anyone have any pics of .375 cutters next to .404. I don't have any .404 and was wondering how the dimensions of the cutter compare (new chain say). Length of cutters, height of cutters, width of cutters of the same type (flattop). Curious.

    First I looked at my stone and it's clear I don't use it much on the bottom, no visible wear/markings. Has to do with the way I usually clean gullets and adjust the cutter. But I agree in certain cases cutting on the bottom is important however little it happens. It looks like around 3/8...

    That a really good point, and why I didnt' want to rush too fast. I am in the middle of too many things and didn't take the time to really think about it yet. With my PS I am often adjusting the "height" screw as I grind dynamically and you are right that sometimes I want to raise the cutter...

    No sure I understand the plating spec. And are you saying that your grinder cuts with the bottom of the wheel, too?

    Okay I'll go with 7 inches overall diameter in case the wheel becomes of interest to you, and compromise at .09 on the side. I'd love it if you'd change that number as I would have to screw around with it for too long to figure out the best way to change it and I am already screwing around...

    I dug through my drawer of grinding wheels and so far haven't found a used blue one to give you. Seems I have one somewhere and if I find it I"ll pop it to you to play with (and keep). I redressed the wheel using the built in dressers. Now that top angle is closer to 15 than 16 so that's...

    In looking at my current wheel and thinking about that angle I realized that I don't always dress the whole big bevel with the built in dresser (cause it's a crappy quality dresser compared to a good one - I've posted about this before. Even went to Madsens and picked out best looking silvey...

    Did you get a chance to measure the thickness of the outer edge of your wheel last night?

    With my Prosharp all the adjustment in angles is in the dressing stone holders which have 3 possible positions. So downsides to the cbn wheels include can't tweak that angle if it isn't working out and no way to true up how a wheel runs by dressing it. So you are at the mercy of how the...

    In terms of the cooling cuts, I thought about the idea but all the cbn wheels that I"ve seen from this company are simple unslotted carriers so I would be taking on way more than I want to in changing that aspect. This is just a simple test to see what they come up with and how it works out...

    I'd be interested with what that measurement ends up on your wheel. Our grinders present the chain to the wheel a fair bit differently. My first thought was adding in some as it looked like that much would still work on my own grinder, but my revisted thinking is maybe specifying that height...

    Looking cool. I wasn't sure how to specify the upper bevel length as it is not critical. I only specificied the minimum width of the larger bevel that needed abrasive. The overall bevel length you cite works fine, and like you say is dependent on factors like the edge thickness. I...

    Any help would be appreciated. I could spend hours just trying to figure out the basics of a tool.... current thinking: diameter 7 inches thickness 3/16 arbor 1 inch angle of longer bevel relative to top 16 degrees angle of short edge bevel relative to top 65 degrees width of...

    How about you whipping up another one for me with both ends shown. I could try to annotate it and see if that was good enough to submit it.:msp_rolleyes:

    I just added a hacked one in my above post, yours is better. Yes, if you specify the one larger angle to be a right angle.

    Please check my square grinder wheel specs - considering a cbn wheel

    I am saying is on my currrent wheel the angle between the top of the wheel (horizontal but long bevel up) and the long bevel is 16 degrees. Then the angle between that same top and the edge is around 65 degrees. A 16 degrees B 65 degrees So the inside angle on the cutter ends up...

    I was using the term dressing as the generic term. With most grinding wheels one is both cleaning and dressing. With the wheels that are not designed to wear away (dbn, diamond, etc) clearly it's really a cleaning stick. And only necessary depending on the material ground away. With my cbn...

    I've seen cbn wheels listed with Aluminum oxide dressing sticks. I have old ao wheel pieces I might try that on my prototype if it seems to need cleaning. I am glad to hear your borazon square wheel worked out. The only real issue I was wondering about is whether the corner of the wheel...

    I think it depends on what you are grinding. With mine with HSS around Rockwell 66 they never need dressing. With softer stuff I think they do. Do your cbn come with ao for a dressing stick?
