Super jolly

[mschrum]

Just picked up a used super jolly. It’s practically brand new. I’ve never had a grinder and can’t find much info on set up. Didn’t come with manuals. What’s some good settings to start with. And do I need to get different wheels for different chain ? I run 3/8 picco, .325 and 3/8 chains. Any help would be much appreciated !! Thank you

I like Tecomec green wheels. You’ll need 1/8“ and 3/16 “

Ok great. I’ll order them ! Do I need to do anything to the wheels before I start using them ? Shape them or anything ?

I think they are rounded off on the edge profile as they come from the manufacturer. They will be all right for a while but you’ll eventually need to dress them after a few chains.

I picked up one of these for a dresser and it’s considerably easier and quicker for me to use than the brick that they come with

While they are more expensive initially, I really like the CBN wheels from Diamond Wheel in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. They grind very efficiently with less risk of overheating the chain, the profile never changes, and they last a long, long time.

I have never looked back since I got into CBN grinding wheels. What a difference all around. I can highly recommend them! Good call, Mark

I agree, I have the Jolly grinder and I purchased the Diamond wheel for the grinder. You won’t need to dress a diamond whell. That is a great buy, I’m very happy with mine.

I'm a hand filer but have heard nothing but good about the Jollys.

Made by Tecomec, who also makes Oregon grinders. The super Jolly has a hydraulic vise that closes every time you drop the grinder head. Same as an Oregon 620

Italian Tecomec stuff is excellent. Their old P/C kits were OEM quality.

I’m trying to figure it out today. Wouldn’t clamp. But filled it with hydraulic fluid and it seems better now, still seems to lay over a little if I’m taking a lot of material off. I have a bunch of junk chains I’m practicing on so that probably doesn’t help. The adjustment in the bottom( where you can slide the whole chain holder front and back. Where do I want that ?? 0?

You have to look at the box your chain came in to be sure. Some chains are filed with a 5 or 10 degree angle, others are zero. There is another adjustment for the type of chain your using, ie 3/8, just under the clamp. Do you have the book?

 

[mschrum]

No I don’t.

 

[Chiefhobbs]

I’ll try and copy some info for you tomorrow.

 

[mschrum]

Really appreciate that !

Any luck with some info for me ??

Do you mean CBN or a genuine diamond wheel? Diamond wheels are for carbide chain. CBN is for steel.
