Thanks for this video. But, you gave us 2 unknowns. First: It looks like you profiled the raker grinding wheel, it does not look traditional flat. Provide details if you can. Second: What angle did you set the cutting head at? Thanks
Hi David, In the Oregon instruction manual it specifies 75-80 degrees on the tilt and then dressing the wheel level to the guide rail on the machine. I think it's to give the wheel a bit more surface area. In the video I have an arbitrary angle.
why not set the angle on the wheel the opposite way. then the rakers will be cut at a slight angle. that's what most pro's do for smother cutting, less drag.
It was great to be able to see you in action doin all this at tazapalooza
Thanks Brennan, I had a great time sharpening chain.
Thank you, i have the grinder but didn't know i could do it with it as well.
No more filling for me.
Can wheel with a flat face. Best way to go.
CBN wheel. Stupid phone.
Tnx bro

what thickness is the wheel for square grinding
Hi Donald. It uses the 1/8th inch wheels.
@squarejig that's what I thought, I bought your jig when you first started selling them. I couldn't tell which wheel it was, needs a reprofile.
Definitely. I dress my wheels quite often. @@donaldobyrne8309

Yeah that's not a bad idea. Recently I've been cutting them pretty flat and then using a file to finish rounding off the raker.
