Hand vs. Grinder
"What we've got here is a problem of communication":deadhorse:
If I had to do 20 chains ,the power grinder is the right tool. Out in the wild woods, hand filing when needed is fast, gives the user the ease of efficiency, and skill every 2-3 tanks. With the NSCSG (Not-So-Cheap-Stihl-Grinder ):hmm3grin2orange: , you Stihl have to set it up, "plug" it in, set the tool for the correct angles.......then put it away.
IN THE FIELD, with a Pferd (SharpForce) super-duper hand filer, you just follow the witness line on the chain top, file away with that skilled hand and eye, and you're done . And, TA-TAAA, the edge and depth gauge/raker are done thye right way. And, you Stihl have to move the NSCSG around the chain......don't you ????
Now what is it for the NSCSG, $30. or $499. ? In these parts, we could feast on fried clams or lobster for a loooooong time. :biggrinbounce2: You buy.
P.S. The Pferd (SharpForce) is +/- $15. at Bailey's.
