Square ground chain

[mdavlee]

Holds up just fine. I use it milling and it lasts as good as round chisel.

As Mike says... it holds up as good as round filed chisel. If I have a chisel chain anymore, it goes square.

I only do it by hand, but I'm sticking with square file. Only problem is if you rock it bad, I may need to find someone with a grinder to fix it.

None of the Stihl shops around here have even sold the chain before, much less sharpen it.

The only advantage I see for round is I can use my 12 V sharpener.

Mac Clover, cut your teeth on a goofy file, that's what I use 90% of the time. It's one heck of a handy tool and real good performance when you get onto it. The good thing is you don't need flat files anymore because it does everythingst.

What are the options for a good square grinder?

Same here,

I square file some too, application dependent. When it looks like a chain sharpening is going to turn into a major restoration I just throw it on the Tecomec, grind it, and use the chain as a standard round file chisel for the rest of it's useful life.

Take Care

Used Silvey or Simington. New Simington is the only choice.

Here's my old Pro sharp it seems to do a better job over most grinders.

I can put a pretty good edge on round ground with a file. I have hear there is a lot more technique for filing square ground.

Only one way to learn!
My first field sharpening a square was pitiful, it still cut better than round.

I am the other way around ,i can do square easier than round

What do guys think of the new simington's......are they good grinders like the silvey's?

 

[mdavlee]

Yes a step up. The adjustable arm on them is nice to keep the same angles as the wheel wears.

They're all good, the main thing is learning how to correctly use them. That being said I like the scroll setup of my pro sharp I feel I have more control of burning the tooth.
