Anybody on here sell them? Edge & Engine no longer sells them. The Dynasaw from Baileys is more than I care to spend. Diamond Wheel doesn't show a cyclone style & I think that's what I prefer. I'm waiting on a call back from them to see if they custom make them. I know some of you have had them for a few years now. What should I get & where can I get it. Thanks, any input is welcome.

Diamond wheels don't have the cutouts like a cyclone. They are just solid aluminum.
Bailey's also sells a version of the $100 +/-, solid wheel. I think that DynaSaw is the only one with the 'cyclone' holes.

You should stock a few to fit the very popular mount on the 511a
I would love to point people to you for the CBN or Diamond wheels, Cyclone or whatnot ....................

I've never used one because i get great results from the Oregon wheels that came with my 511ax. I have also used and liked the Pal Maxi brand and Molemab brand wheels.
If the price was not so high i would be very interested to try CBN wheels out. Only issue i have is that i need to grind 3/8" lo pro and .325" and 3/8" and it gets very expensive needing more than one wheel size.
On a separate note, does the Edge & Engine online store work anymore? I used to buy stuff from him regularly but for a long time (1-2 years) i have not been able to access the online store. It says down for maintenance or excess traffic?
mine has the holes and slots..

Yep, they will make whatever type and size you need.
How many standard wheels will you go through in 5-7 years.
The CBN's pay for themselves.
Shower are these the wheels you were referring to about making a square ground for the USG? How would you go about making a profile for what I am looking for.

I have a solid 3/16" for my 511A and I bought it direct last year. Since then several people have them. I think Randy has the same one?

Stihl crazy after all these years
Mine has holes and slots in it, and you can look through their catalog and pick out the profile you want for the wheel. My profile is "1FF1" I think. But it's been a few years since I got it, so things may have changed.

Not that many actually. I set my grinder up correctly and only kiss the tooth and keep the wheel dressed and clean. I have been getting great wear on my standard wheels. I have only gone through one 3/8" wheel in 2 years and am still on my first Oregon .325" wheel. I use the grinder at least once a week to touch up 3-4 chains.
CBN wheels here are over $220. I get discount prices on Pal maxi wheels at $12- $15 each. Not cost effective. Like i said if the CBN wheels were considerably cheaper and better value for money i would not hesitate to try one.
The online store is closed & when I talked to Kyle it didn't sound like it would be reopened.

yes chris, it is,
they will make you a wheel any profile you want, so i see no reason why you could'nt square grind a chain on a conventional style grinder like the usg..
Here is a related thread that may be of interest
The question comes up periodically.
