That is true. The best part about Gray was being able to fix a rocked chain in one pass. Just have to dress the wheel a couple times for a long chain.
should I get a simington?

That's right those are swing arms, I'm used to that pro sharp with the scroll screw.

Yep. That was my biggest complaint with that style. The wheel don't last near as long.

I only have the brown wheel and the blue, I just converted a 20" RS to square. One pass with the brown wheel and about three strokes with a file

Yeah I can in a bit, mine are pretty well worn though.

That's a personal decision I wouldn't trade my pro sharp that's for sure. I don't like the looks of the swing arm design to me it seems flimsy and could give you issues down the road. My big thing is I love how simple the upper silvey design is with mine I have two sliding compentants that are adjustable for wear.

This is kind of a derail ,but ..........
Has anyone sucessfully made or bought ,and used an ABN / CBN wheel for square grinding ? I locate a few posts by using the search feature . But they never went beyond planning to make one .

I thought the pro sharp was a swing arm?

No its a scroll style, you have one lever to put the chain near the wheel and a screw you run the chain slide with to put the cutter into the wheel with.

There is no one way to dress a wheel for square ,so a cbn would be tough to do in generic form

Seems like someone was making a wheel to grind square with a round grinder.

I was talking about a CBN wheel a few years ago.
I was gonna get one made. But could get nothing but " no way to get it right"
Soooo......I got a Silvey and a friend has it now. I finish setting up my shop I'll either get one made or when I get a surface grinder I'll make one.

Check out the post I just posted yesterday on Square ground chisel chain vs. round ground chisel chain. The results are all posted but the square ground was faster but only by 8% and it did not feel any faster in the cut compared to the round ground.
What grinder did you end up buying? I was looking at the Simington myself but they are $1,000.
Thanks,
Clint
