Got myself a chain grinder a Speed Sharp Star made by Tecomec (italy) the same as Oregan 511AX,Telcomec Jolly Star and probably a few others seems to be well made so far anyway.
It does a good job. Just be gentle when opening the vise, only 1/8 turn is required. If you open the vice too far, too hard, it can snap the vise base. Otherwise a very good grinder.
How come imported stuff costs so much more in Oz ? Do you guys have to pay a VAT or a tariff ?

Im using a 5/16" wheel and it seems to chew them up pretty quick so I was thinking a 7" or 8" wheel would be Cool....
Maybe its just me but I see need for improvement in this family of grinders..
BTW I dedicated this grinder to 3/4" Pitch Processor chains LOL

Made right here in Oz, and you can send them back to be re-coated when they eventually wear.
I don't know if I'm allowed to post a link, so clicky on the PDF below instead, all the contact details are on it
The man to talk to there is Greg Costin, Matt sent me all the details for my mate Larry the local chainsaw repairer but Larry already had one
Dinasaw make some pretty trick shop/production chain grinders too.
Yeah the Dinasaw wheels are the go mate - I have a 3mm for 3/8"LP and .325", a 4.5mm for 3/8" and .404" plus a 7mm flat for depth guages. If I did it again I'd get a 7mm wheel with a curved profile for depth guages.
They make those gotta link or just go to their web site? I assume dinasaw.com or sumpthin like that?
