Yeah true remember my time in Germany

Yes that's right. Set the guides to the desired depth and angle of cut and pull the chain through from left to right. It's really easy once you suss it.

 

 

How do you choose the depth?

I understand the angle

There is a metal guide/flap that pushes up behind the cutter body on the chain, this can be adjusted by the screw behind it.

If you look for the most damaged/blunt link on the chain and use that to set the amount you want to grind off.

This will ensure that each link ends up the same size after grinding.

(When I said depth of cut I didn't mean just pushing down into the chain I meant the amount of material to be taken from the cutting edge of each link.)

I hope this makes sense

Yes that makes sense thanks👍

Yes that makes sense thanks👍

 

 

Welcome! Mine sat on the shelf for months before I used it. If only I had known how easy it is to rescue damaged chains.

I still prefer the little roller guides for Husky and Oregon chains with a hand file, but for damaged chains the little flora best grinder is unbeatable value.

Are they idiot proof?

 

Not got a clue as I don`t have one, it was just a heads up for anyone that was interested.

 

I sharpen mine by hand anyway ...

I only have an ms170 but now have 4 chains that are really very blunt as my hand sharpening is rubbish👎

And the local place charges £15 to sharpen a £17.50 chain so I just buy new.

Would be good if I could sharpen these chains myself as they have had hardly any use.

 

You could always send them to me , I will do them for you.

Thanks for the offer but I think I'm going to get this machine next week. Got to be worth £20

Without sticking to a budget what is the best chain grinder available?

I realise buying the most expensive tools isnt always best.
