can you explain more?
thanks, serg
Serg,
It is the very best of round file guides but it doesn't have enough adjustment to use sq files, even if you made an adapter for it like I did for the Granberg style guide it just doesn't have the "swing" to do sq filing. I have called Stihl and talked to them about this, sence it is such a nice guide, but I don't see it ever being changed.
Later,
thanks Larry, it doesnt surprise me that Stihl wont listen :monkey:
so when will your adapters be available to buy for the Granberg?
do you think your square/Granberg is better than the Atop?
also regarding the Atop, will there be a hardwood version and a softwood version?
Serg
what sort of machinary would be needed to reproduce your set up?
surely it could be farmed out to a machine shop?
or maybe contact Granberg, Oregon or even Cartlon......
i will be looking very closely at your auction
thanks, Serg
Thats a good plan! Wonder if they make the Stihl guide, it's on page 44 of this catalog that is an awsome guide, it just doesn't swing left to right enough, or rotate a sq file, sure would be the ultimate if it did!
Later,
Bloody dial up. I'll get to page 44 eventually......... :greenchainsaw:
probably more the fact that its the English site, and you know how good they are with electrics...:monkey:
try the link i added in the first post.

granberg style converted to file square is a giant PITA!
yes it can be done... but at what price... by the time you fool around setting it up and getting it just rite for one direction. then you've got to lose all your settings switching to other direction.
a major PITA! ... now if one has two converted granberg's ...one for each direction, that might work.
I really like the bench mounted one (you can get a close up in the catalog), if it tilted more to the left and right, I'd own 3.
Another thing about the converted Granberg style, it's great for rakers to.
Lucas couldn't have infiltrated Stihl too, surely ??
The Prince of Darkness thought he was underpaid at Lucas, so he took a new job helping out with quality control at Bosch. Remember him fondly next time you have trouble with a Bosch spark plug or fuel injector.

that all changed after I lucked out and scored a Simington 450 square grinder. now with a Simington 450 and a Silvey 300 round grinder... got all my chains covered.
That's great, except Simington just don't exist on this side of the Pacific,.
