setting up a Simington 450

[046]

hope this is the right place to put this...

setting up a Simington 450 square grinder with no instructions is a bear.
anyways... finally got it close to duplicating Oregon factory grind angles.

what's the correct angle to grind wheel to? so far it's all been trial and error...

here's a few pic's .... hoping for a few tips on how to set up...

Thats a chisel cut grinder, right?


Hopefully Gerry Beranek will chime in on this thread, if not send him a PM.

He is the one to help you.

When I have in-depth chainsaw questions, I'll usually ask them at www.chainsawperformance.com . Good folks there, Ed and Russ run the joint. Lots of members there that run square ground chain and own square grinders.
