It sounds like so far they are working out fine.
Kind of anxious to get mine. Hope it is in one piece, maybe by buying something else they will put both items in one safer box.
I keep expecting someone to tell us they are a total piece of doggy doo!!!!

And you'll be getting a $10 gift certificate in the mail in a few days. I got one even tho my total was a penny short of $100. But my wife tossed it out in a cleaning frenzy.:bang: I was thinking about using it to buy another one, to leave set up for rakers, and get a spare wheel in the process.

I've got mine set up to do depth guages. Works excellent but i'm using 511A wheels.

I bought 4 total for christmas presents, although I have no friends that have saws. HAHAHA.

BUY AT LEAST 10 OF THEM IF YOU CAN!

They are a really good copy and work great if you are careful. Just like any grinder, technique and patience is required.

My $0.02

Got to be better than the HF cheapo I have now...I need something to square up chains and set the depth gauges. This should work a tad better than what I currently have. Should be here at the end of the week... :biggrinbounce2:

how much do the 511A wheels Run normally? i'll check bailey's when I have more time.

I had thought about buying a few and then ebaying them after the sale goes off.

Ian

I had the same thought. I bought a few extra for sale in my shop but I plan to drop them on eBay. Nothing wrong with a free enterprise system.

How did you find out it was the last day of the sale?

If you look at the description of the item it tells you what grinders the less expensive wheel is for.
They fit the bar mounted and mini grinders that use the 4 1/8" wheels.
I guess the idea of listing the diameter of the wheels eluded them at Northern.

I ordered mine today.

Is the 10* offset necessary if you're not using full chisel chain?

Should it be used on semi chisel chain?


Stilh USG grinders use a 15 degree back/front offset for all their current chains, Semi chisel or Full chisel. Not sure if the geometry is the same as the tec/oregon, but..
