Go Climb It
I looked in the advanced search to find posts about the Sharpall 1055 and two threads that I started was all that came up. So I wanted to get one up here.
I've been sharpening my chain on my 1055 since I bought it new ten years ago. I did a slight modification to the feed stop screw by adding a spring that pushes it away from the stop--when you let go, the grinding wheel goes away from the chain.
The 1055 does a fine job on saw chain, you can even lower the depth gauges adequately. As it it a multi-purpose machine, though, it has limitations on chain.
The purpose of this post is to find other Foley-Belsaw Sharpall 1055 owners to share info and to discuss the limitations and tricks you may have learned to get a better finished product.
Thanks.
