I suck. Free Silvey

[AKDoug]

I'm down and out today with a chest cold. I can't stand being cooped up in the house so I hid in the shop today. Fixed a few saws, generally farted around. Along comes one of my buddies with a box to give me. Inside is a well worn but serviceable Silvey RS II He says "no charge". I've had fun getting it going today and making a parts list for Madsen's once my voice comes back. Not a bad day

BTW... that wheel is as bad as it looks. I redressed it after this photo once I figured out how the whole thing worked.

 

[hamish]

You beyond suck.

Nice getting little gems every once and awhile eh.

l want friends like yours, my friends suck! They would not know what a Silvey was.....probably think its the name of a grey horse.lol Good luck getting her working as good things are worth fixing.

Go on and buy the slide set up from srcarr. Makes grinding that much more precise and it's easier to use with no binding up

You beyond suck.

What he said.

Watch out for Madsens though... they grab and drain my wallet every time I go in there. Yah, I am forced to spend money in there. At gunpoint. No choice. Brain locks up, truck fills up, wallet empties, every time.

I've been in there a couple times after going to the Stihl NW home office. I've got a PM into sccarr about wheel profiling. I guess I better talk to him about the new slide setup. I'm also intrigued by the old thread of Art Martin's that suggested moving the chain holders closer to the wheel to get a more aggressive angle on the inside of the tooth for faster chains.

 

[mdavlee]

Yeah you can slide the whole assembly closer like 1/2" gap between the wheel and the holder to give more top plate angle.

I'll pay you double what you paid for it! No, triple!

I am jealous.

Yikes, that thing looks pretty dirty. How are the bearings in the motor?

I was surprised. It runs super smooth. I'm even sicker today, so I doubt I will be able to clean it up like planned.

Hey, I will trade you a Chicago chain grinder for it! Barely used, it still has the Harbor Freight price tag. I will even pay for shipping...

Mr. srcarr is getting some of my money for one of his slider setups, so I think I'm keeping it. I've lost my voice with this damn chest cold, which makes it tough to call Madsen's to order some goodies for it(or Tree Monkey to arrange my porting work) .... I'm spending my day reading everything I can on square ground chain and RS II's. All the wood I cut is clean, so I think it's going to work well for me. I also have several customers that cut a lot of clean wood that want to try it. You don't see much square ground up here in my neck of the woods and I last used it 20+ years ago.

 

[AKDoug]

Try the personals on C-list. As for the free Silvey, I'm interested though.

LMAO.... I needed that. I reworded that title several times and thought it was joke free. That was too easy, it must have been the Nyquil...
