Which way to go on grinder.

[T-Dozzer]

Not that i mind hand filing, with 4 saws & often buddies, it takes forever.
So:
Do you esteemed gurus suggest this granberg-

Or-
An oregon grinder in the $200-300 price range.

The timberwolf only being able to grind ar 30° was a turn off.

Been down that road . It wasn't for me personally but that was a long time ago before they had that additional clamp on the bar type guide . Many people do use and like it . I would get a good supply of those little stones . I think they also make a version that you can plug into a wall socket. Not sure because I don't pay that much attention .

Ive heard mixed reveiws on the the entry to mid oregon grinders. Plus they are 3 to 5 times the cost just a mid level grinder.
Can you provide your case that makes it worth it?

The Oregon grinder I use finally quit last week after 15+ years sharpening customers's chains weekly. Ours has the diamond wheel and it has been on the grinder since new, no dressing or replacing the wheel.

Where did you get the diamond wheel, if you don't mind me asking.

Obviously you like it, but what are the cons with going with this model? Will i need to buy a better wheel?

I bought this one. It's the same as the Oregon 620 grinder with the hydraulic vise instead of the manual one on the other models. And it's cheaper than the 520 in the link above. Free shipping too. And yes, it's the real deal. Mine says tecomec on it. I called maverick and stens, their distributor to be sure before I ordered. For me the idea of a grinder that normally costs $350-550 for $270 was too good to pass up.

We are still using the wheels that came with it, no problems you just dress the wheel once in a while , you can buy a diamond wheel but I see no need to
