Could it be the end for the processor?

[Mitch]

I have the same two machines( not the donkeys )

[Alycidon]

[ I tend to remove chain after 4 days and use the bench grinder.

 

Do you degrease the chain first?, I did look at a bench grinder a few weeks ago, it needs a grease free chain otherwise the sharpening disc clags up.

I have a worn out 4in diamond cutting disc from a grinder. dress the grinder with that deglazes and degreases in about 1/2 a second.

Not quite with you here?, are you saying coat the grinding wheel, if so with what exactly?. I assume its a different disc from my 4 inch hand held angle grinder.

 

Sorry to be a pain but could you be a bit more detailed please, thanks.

Sorry will explain what we do. Dont worry too much about the clogging the grinding wheel. You can buy a diamond dressing tool to break the glaze on the wheel after some use they tend to glaze and the sparks are reduced but the heat tends to build up damaging your chains. I use an old diamond cutting wheel and just touch the surface as its spinning.

Ah I see, that makes sense, so you take you chains off and put them straight through the sharpener as they are.

 

Thanks for your help, suddenly chain saw processors may be viable as I am useless at sharpening by hand.

 

Thanks

My hand sharpening is ok if I do it on a regular basis but I work away on large generator installs for a few weeks and loose the skill. bench chain sharpener is a lidls for £20 Gets great results cant see the point in spending hundreds. If you are gentle you can get as much wear out of the chain as hand sharpening. Give it a go I think you will be impressed especially on badly dulled chains. tct is good and creates alot less dust but chain processors tend to have a bigger capacity and if you hit a gate post in a log its an £8 chain rather than a £150 blade.

Only bad point about machine sharpening ichainsaw chains it heats the chain and then if in forest ni impossible to resharpen by hand

Dalen 2052, chainsaw machine with a good reputation here. As a TCT user how often do you need to sharpen your chain ?. I was talking to a guy with a Hakki 37 the other day who said once every 2 weeks on hardwood using it every day. Find that hard to believe.

 

 

How on earth did you get that twig onto the processor with no rack?.

I have actually only sharpened my chain 3 times in year or so i have owned it. We dont use it every day but the wood going through it is clean and should be free of nails etc.

 

As for the twig on the processor its a Theocus team secret!!! Lol

No i have a Riko Fast Tow trialer and use the crane to load the trailer sideways and by chance its the same height as the processor. Big ones i crane straight in, The less i pick up pieces of wood the better!

Yes it can do. I have had a good play with sharpening, if I think I will be sharpening in the field I go really gently and dab and kiss the teeth then no probs. If its going on the processor I just let rip if it blues the teeth so be it they seem to stay sharp longer.
