Whoa....I could buy a lifetime of chains for the price of that Silvey grinder!! I think I'll have to stick with my cheesy hand files and roller file guide!Billy_Bob said:I was just looking at these, but very expensive, so I'll need to ask Santa...

They are out there. But don't buy those cheapy one they will ruin your chain faster than Tommy Fales will.
neverenough said:I picked up a one year old Tecomec, which is exactly like the 511A, for $75 at an auction. They work quite well for the non pro user. Best edge I have ever had on a chain is right after grinding, I touch it up with a file. Better than any factory edge (not much, but none the less, better). Search, on this site for things like Tecomec, electric chain grinder, 511A, ect... and you will find loads of info. Yes, there are much better grinders out there, but, IMO, unless you cut and sharpen for a living, you will be just as happy with the lower cost models like the Tecomec and 511A. Strictly my opinion, but....
