I've been sharpening chains for over 10 years with only cbn and got the USG recently. I now converted to the regular non CBN stihl wheels and I prefer srihl because CBN is slow and creates more heat and burrs especially on chains that need lots of removal that are in bad shape that customers give me. The good part of CBN is they lasted me 10 years and you don't have to shape the wheel.
You're making a big deal about a burr that disappears the second the chain touches the wood, forget the burr it isnt an issue. I dont have an CBN because im cheap but they work great if you dont obsess about the burr and go cut wood. I dressed my tecomec pink wheel on the side making it about 4mm thick not 4.7mm(3/16), I like it better, I get more hook with the thinner wheel.
@@nseric1233 I'm making a big deal of it because of how damm expensive the weeks are, for that price I would expect it to outperform a standard abrasive wheel. You say you don't own a CBN wheel but have you used one that you got good results with?
You are removing entirely too much material, of course it will leave a bur. A cbn wheel is NOT a grinding wheel, it is a dressing wheel. You need to adjust your angle.
@@sethcastillo3268 unfortunately even if I take a tiny amount it will still give the same results. And what angles would you suggest, the angels I'm using here are very standard. Do you have a CBN wheel that you get good results with?
@@tdm8817 the angle is too steep or you're just not setting the teeth guide to not hold too much of the cutter ahead, thus leading to the burr.... you ALWAYS want to remove little material as possible when sharpening (speaking from experience from knife sharpening)
@BeezyKing99 what angles are you referring to, the head tilt or the chain vice, I've got the head tilt at 40⁰ and chain vice at 25⁰ like the Stihl manual recommends. And what do you mean by the teeth guide? I'm not familiar with that terminology. Sometimes you have to remove alot of material when a chain is rocked out really hard and the Stihl wheels easily do that without the burr hence why I like them better, the CBN seems like a step backwards to me. Do you use CBN wheels for knifes?

Unfortunately I disagree completely.
@@dennisthemenace57 ok no worries, but can you explain that more? What exactly do you disagree with?
