Sweet!! Thanks! I wonder if they can make them in different grits maybe something a little finer for the rackers.

Good website to gather info but still far cheaper for you guys in the states to buy them from Baileys. Postage from Australia plus our current exchange rate is a killer...
I spoke to Greg and he was very helpful and a pleasure to deal with,i didnt ask about grits i thought about that when i hung up.I would think they do anything you wont,CBN/Dimond coating there must be different grits.
I would think so. It would be pretty sweet if they had one that was the same profile as the original shape of the racker IMO.
Whats the difference between CBN and ABN ?
Got myself a chain grinder a Speed Sharp Star made by Tecomec (italy) the same as Oregan 511AX,Telcomec Jolly Star and probably a few others seems to be well made so far anyway.
I love hacking up lung cookies! :hmm3grin2orange:The biggest benefit I've seen with the ABN/CBN is the lack of dust. Only metal is ejected whereas your standard wheels get dust everywhere, even to the point that I've had to wear a dustmask to avoid coughing up black phlegm for a week.
How come imported stuff costs so much more in Oz ? Do you guys have to pay a VAT or a tariff ?
I blame you guys. The US is still the biggest consuming nation in the world. When a US Merchant goes to China or Italy to buy stuff, based on population and consumption rates they can usually order in volumes 20 to 30 times greater than any Australian buyer and so can purchase at substantially lower rates. Shipping to the US is the same. Now no self respecting Chinese or Italian merchant is going to go bust over this so they jack up the prices for everyone else to compensate. European prices for most things like tools and electronics are the same as as Oz with differences being shipping plus GST. Several Oz retailers have shown me their wholesale or buy prices for stuff like CS, CS parts and tools, and they are often greater than retail in the US.
Ok guys i got my i got a Dinasaw Cyclone ABN 5mm thick wheel and i have been playing with it,cuts without fuss and is all good.But i am a little disappointed in the finish,i think the grit is way to course,leaving burrs.
Is the 10' top angle really required on the chisel chain ?
Each brand (Carlton,Stihl) recommends different angles for chisel and semi chisel chains,whats the go ?.Most of my chains are 3/8 .063 chisel chains i mainly cut green clean wood.
Very happy with the grinder so far.
If you don't want to "codition" the wheel take smaller bites with it. The bur that is there is just the chrome being stubborn and nothing to worry about. It will for sure break off in the first half second in the cut.Ok guys i got my i got a Dinasaw Cyclone ABN 5mm thick wheel and i have been playing with it,cuts without fuss and is all good.But i am a little disappointed in the finish,i think the grit is way to course,leaving burrs.

The biggest benefit I've seen with the ABN/CBN is the lack of dust. . . whereas your standard wheels get dust everywhere.
I use the standard wheels because I don't grind enough to justify the cost of the ABN/CBN wheels. I try to grind outside to avoid the dust, but was getting some hard cake build-up on the main grinder casting that was hard to clean off. Probably mostly cosmetic, but I covered those portions of the grinder with thin, aluminum HVAC sealing tape (metal duct tape).
Brush or blow off the loose dust, and scrape off the hard stuff, or peel off the tape and replace it.

Welding antispatter will work as well or a thin layer of tip dip for mig welding.
