FYI - Northern Chainsaw Sharpener

[PA Plumber]

SORRY. The $20.00 was in fun. So to clear this up...

If there are any available the going rate was $3.00 to cover material and cost of shipping. (It's beyond reasonable by the way.)

Again, no drama was intended here, please accept my apology.:blush:

Oh yeah, olyman just jogged my memory on something. On this page is a link to download the manual for the Northern grinder.
http://www.northerntool.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_6970_200327449_200327449
Crap, that link goes to the main grinder page. Then go to the included tab, there will be the link to download the manual. It won't go directly there for some obscene reason.
Double crap. Dok already posted a link to it. I thought he put up a link to the Oregon manual. Hey, it's not my fault I'm burnt.

I wish mine would show up, it's lost in ups-land. It shipped on monday, didn't start tracking until Thursday and says I can expect it on Valentines Day of all days. Valentines Day isn't exactly the best day for a box from Northern to show up :biggrinbounce2: :biggrinbounce2: :biggrinbounce2:

The grinder is red. Maybe that will help.

Hey I'm just wondering,
What I've done is mount the grinder onto a small 12 x 30 x 1.125
piece of laminated osb. this way,
it can be moved from the garage
to the basement or wherever.
And then clamped into place.
Any opinions ??

WhatamI Goofy??

I'd say as long as your clamps are tight enough it's okay! It gets old using a wobbly grinder.

"WhatamI Goofy??" Do you have to ask??? JK

Hey live,
JUst goofin withya.

...but I am truly goofy! been hit in the head too much!

I don't talk too good kneether...

 

[rmihalek]

welders?

Anyone here willing to weld up a tubular steel stand for these Northern Tool grinders? I'd like one about eye level....

Tell me how much you think it would cost.

 

[ericjeeper]

I have mine mounted under my cabinets

Basically right at eye level. computeruser posted a photo of it in the Indiana GTG post, I have it mounted to a 2x6 that will slide in and out to store it away when not in use. Do you have any Upper cabinets in your garage?

 

[tawilson]

Ok, here's the page with the link to the Oregon grinder manual. It wasn't so hard to find aferall.

Ordered it yesterday...

After reading all the rave reviews of the Northern grinder, I ordered up one yesterday afternoon! You guys are really costing me a lot of money.

Just in the last two weeks:

MS361, MS250, Chaps, Bar Oil, Chains, Mix, Files, and carrying cases -- $1142
Steel toe leather Carhartt boots -- $79
Northern Tool Grinder -- $116.26
The look on my wife's face when she goes to balance the checkbook -- PRICELESS

Thanks all, you're a great bunch!

God bless,
Chris
