You ordered a Square Grinder new from a dealer for $700? Who's the grinder manufactory... the only one I know on the market is a Simington... from what dealer/who? A new Sq grinder for $700 is a deal that for sure.

USG not a square grinder, you’re confused with a Simington,

My USG? Only had the switch go out, but it did it in on position. Otherwise trouble free.

I dont even have a clue how old it is. I got used from another guy many years ago, like 15 years for myself. But have watched the prices go up and up on them over the years.

I was wanting a silvey round grinder but this was my 2nd choice.

Sorry never heard of USG... I do now! https://www.stihl.com/STIHL-power-t...inner-chainbreaker/21124-63701/STIHL-USG.aspx

Great grinders, I currently have 3. 1 is setup for grinding rakers and the other for chain. Third one is just a backup. I just wish I could find the square grind setup, I have the discontinued disk (7012) but no attachment.

Mr. Del's post there got me thinking of trying to track one of these unicorns down again. I just had to think...... that my first grinder I bought had that attachment on it at some point. I was pleasantly surprised when I looked up the disk part number and found that it was for square grind.
@Del_ Thank you for the post with pictures on the Stihl USG Square Grinding attachment
comparison. I wont be begging you for your treasure, but if you do use it, please post more pictures!

I have a Stihl USG and a Stihl HOS. The HOS doesn't have all the adjustments of the USG, but the fixed HOS angles are what I end up using on my USG.
If you would consider a HOS, let me know.

I want a USG so bad, but they are so expensive. The old man at the dealer says the Oregon is better, but the Stihl looks more solid to me because it is versatile.

Oregon is just cheaper Just like a chain or a guide bar

but still, I would love to have a replacement to the file for my circular saw brushcutter blades.

I'm not saying it's bad, the Chinese ones are worse and people use them /
