I just bought a Northern grinder as an upgrade to the plastic Harbor Freight job. Most of my chains are 3/8, some are .325. I've been doing OK sharpening all of them with an 1/8 wheel. I was sharpening everything at 30 degrees. But a little recent investigation has lead me to believe that 35 degrees is needed in some cases. Guess that's what learning curves are all about.
Happy New Year.
I prefer 25% and 60% top adj angle but I cut a lot of hardwood.
I might use % when describing how much cutter life is left.
Depending on which versions of Windows one is using a
degree sign ° can be made by holding down the 'alt' key and
typing 248 or 0176 on the number pad, it should show up when the alt
key is released.
'I prefer 25° and 60° top adj angle but I cut a lot of hardwood.'
I figured this is what you ment, Sometimes it's easier for me to just write
degree cause...
I cheerfully admit to being a slow learner.
I do compensate by being quick to forget. :greenchainsaw:
