FYI - Northern Chainsaw Sharpener

[olyman]

What happened to the SS shim and washer for the Northern? Has production stopped? Just curious as I had tried to get one sometime ago.

now myself beginning to wonder----

Even if production has stopped.

$89.99 as of today.

But it looks like you only get one grinding wheel with it now.

It came with three wheels. Different thicknesses. Looks in good shape. My step son picked it up at the Northern Tool store in Milwaukee. But he paid 99.99.

Northern Tools 511 sharpener clone now $79.99

Northern Tolls has the Northern Industrial Bench or Wall-Mount Chain Saw Sharpener for $79.99. I just placed my order. Now its time to junk the Harbor Freight Sharpener I bought. Does anyone know if there are any of the mod washer shim kits still available? I think AS member Stihl 041S had made some up last year, if I'm reading the postings correctly.

I sent him an email but haven't heard anything. Give it a try though, don't hurt. Mine works good. I think it does need the washer and especially the shim. Do the other mods, they help a lot. Don't loose the springs or balls under the vise.

Baileys has jumped on the bandwagon and started selling the grinder for $99

Down to $80 at Northern for their summer sale! $20 pays the shipping and buys you a 12-pack to drink while you grind your chains.

Just ordered mine after waiting too long. I paid just under 200 bucks though.:censored:
Somehow, my computer locked up on my first order and didnt show that it was completed. Went back to finalize it. Got the confirmation, went to check shipping status, saw two grinders on the way.:censored:

 

[PA Plumber]

Seeing this thread back at the top helped me reflect...

Yep, I would buy the NT grinder all over again. Works great for the few chains a year I do.

 

[ericjeeper]

without a doubt a bargain

Mine has paid for itself over and over already

I got two and I did it on purpose. Saves changing wheels.

I think all said and done, I would rather have the Maxx. I think eventually I may buy one and set the NT up for dedicated raker service.

I have had mine for a year and my chains come out better than the saw shop @ $7 per. I would buy it again. I do the rakers with a hand file and guage. I have four chains per saw X four saws so it paid for itself.

Well, I just bought two of these grinders from NT for $85 each. It sounds as though most are generally pleased with them. I hope that I have the same good experience. Just curious, but did any of you guys purchase the extended warranty with this grinder and if so have you had to use it? What was your experience in dealing with NT on warranty issues? If you didn't buy the extended warranty...do you wish you would have? I'm kinda wishing that I did.

Thanks!
