Northern Tool & Equipment Autumn Logging Sale just started...

Hi Group,

'Glad we got rid of that Damn 'LinkBucks' Junk! :msp_angry:

I wish I could find the people who do that stuff/Hackers, I'd introduce their Skull, to my Log Splitter! :msp_wink:

I bought my Northern 37 ton splitter last year, (for $1850!) during their sale, and am considering buying one of their chain-grinders.
It's their $130- chain grinder, now $99.00.

My question is, IS IT ANY GOOD, OR IS IT JUST A PIECE OF JUNK? I would probably use a grinder, say 10-15 times in a year...(two saws, X two chains), and I would want one that will LAST!
I really couldn't justify spending $330- on an Oregon 510A, even though I read it's one of the best!
- Northern does have a $200- Oregon model #108181, and I wonder IF it's any better than the $129- one, that is on sale now.

Any opinions on these two grinders?

Thanks!

The Northern tool grinder is great I have sharpened hundreds of chains with one, the wheels arent the greatest but good sharpener for the money if you can do a search you will see a huge thread on the Northern grinder I highly reccomend it.

I have a NIB one in my basement if you're interested. I bought a more expensive grinder and never opened the Northern Tool model.
