Granberg precision grinder

[mad matty]

Just used mine after receiving it yesterday......cant believe how easy and good it is, thought I was pretty handy with a file but cant get it quite as good as that!! so I went through all the saw's I own,

 

The other great thing about it being 12 volt is it can live in the truck & will be really handy after hitting the odd nail like you do!!

 

anyway would recommend great bit of kit.

Cheers Matty:biggrin:

Thought you might enjoy it Matty! I tend to use mine at the end of the day, it's good on the big saws, keeps them cutting in a straight line and reduces load on the saw, my old 66 needs all the help she can get!

Best bit of kit I've bought! First time

I used it I couldn't believe how well it was cutting. Made milling much less work

Rob does the stone wearing down not make a difference? A file doesn't really wear as such just goes blunt where as a grinding stone will change diameter as it wears.

Have just ordered mine after having a successful trial of one. Very impressed with it and looking forward to it being part of the team! :thumbup:

Yes it does a bit - in that as it narrows a bit then it doesn't do quite as nice a job... I tend to stick these to one side for damaged chains - use and abuse them to get rid of 80% of the damage - then finish off with a new stone works well and you feel like you're getting your money's worth out of them.

They are great - not perfect - but great!

 

 

It took me a while when I first had it to get it right - in fact in this vid (pic below) you can see that I have the small chain clamps far too low - still worked ok although the chain tended to rock more...

 

 

You can get into difficulties with it when you're in a rush - chain seems to stick etc... in that way it is an end of day tool (for me anyway as I'm always in a rush!)

 

 

But when you get that chain right - wow - the difference from now and my tree surgeoning days (when if it cut it was sharp!).

Recieved mine yesterday and was straight to the workshop to have a go. Might need a bit more practice with it. Thanks goes to Rob D, excellent service from chainsawbars.co.uk, and super fast delivery!!

I have two little lines engraved into some of my bars, just at the bottom of where the grinder sits. It means that when I'm milling or doing other repetitive work, I can put the grinder in just the same spot again, at exactly the same height which means minimal adjustment needed on the grinder.
