best bench grinder for sharpening chains?

[Philbert]

I'm guessing this grinder is a piece of junk?
P.S. Scratch that. It has to be a POS. Ebay has a couple that looks like an Oregon clones that might work better.

Started a whole thread on 'those kinds' of grinders. depends on your expectations, and your sense of humor:

1st pic brand new chain out of box

2 nd pic is the same tooth after I HAND FILE with a double beveled flat file (goofy file)

I try to show the shape (<===>) kinda like that if you’re looking and bottom end of the file

it didn’t take long to learn just paid real close attention to you tube videos basically (Buckin Billy Ray) cause he repeats himself few times rather watching it 3-4 times.... but this is honestly the first time ever trying it.... it’s all about the 3 different angles and location of the angles on the file.... if you have patience it’s plausible I don’t have any patience so I guess it’s still plausible to most!!



And about 20% of my collection,,,

Www.maverickmowersupply.com (just search for chain grinder) they have the Tecomec super jolly w/ auto hydraulic chain clamp for $316 everywhere Else it’s $379dang thing is quiet easy to use and practically assembled in box ready to grind chain and it’s made in Italy and it’s a professional grinder and puts on a nice edge I run grind at:
Down Angle @55-58 degrees
Cutting angle @ 25-27 degrees
Seems to keep the chain sharp for a longer period of time
