Do you need different size grinding wheels for different size chain's?

Professional chain saw sharpeners all use different grinding wheels to match different chains. For a quick example, research the more expensive Oregon chain saw sharpeners sold here on Amazon, they come with 3 different grinding wheels to match different chains. This machine does not sharpen chainsaws even close to as sharp as having them professionally sharpened on a professional machine. There are also no bevel adjustments on this machine.

No. Not sure why you would need a different size grinding wheel. You can adjust the angle and pitch. This unit would not accept a larger diameter wheel, but could probably take a smaller one. Might be able to use one with more "width" to the cutting edge, but why would you need that? You really only need to grind the cutting edge of the teeth on the chain.

No. You can use the size of wheel they have provided to sharpen different chain size. It's the adjustment of the angle of chain teeth that matters.

All my saws are Stihl and while different lengths which is no mind, have the same pitch which is the controlling number. So mine are all 3/8 pitch and that is the size grind wheel i use. Given where the cut of the chain is on the outside and in the cut curl i imagine you could pretty reasonably muddle through a wider pitch chain if you were consistent in your sharpening attack.

No. I use both a very small Stihl arborist chainsaw and a large Stihl Farm Boss with very different chains and it sharpens them both perfectly.

I can't see any reason why you would need a larger wheel. The wheel is certainly larger than anything you'd want to sharpen as it's only the angle or pitch that needs adjustment. So this should do the job on any of your chains.

Hello Mr. Babikian, You can use these diamond wheels( as long as they have a 1/2 or 3/8 arbor hole) on the 1hp buffer in reference. However, you will not want to out one of these wheels on one side and have nothing on the other, the weight will need to be balanced so you will need to possibly double up on the non diamond wheel side to counteract this weight. Kind regards, Kelly Hoffnagle - The Eastwood Company

Yes, just find the same arbor sized accessory wheel at 6" diameter and you're set. Keep in mind it's not variable speed so you're stuck at 1 speed...albeat a awesome-fast/smooth speed.

Hi Bradley, I can't say for sure, but this is a good question for the company or other wood working blog or retailer. I do know that there is some variability in terms of the size of disk that can be used on angle grinders. And I think Arbor-Tech even makes an attachment that allows disks as small as 2 inches to be attached to a 4-1/2 inch grinder. Also, the King Arthur tool company notes that their "Lancelot" cutting wheel is suitable for either 4" or "4-1/2" inch grinders. When I first started, I was using the Lancelot on my previous 4" grinder. Good luck!

Depends on your chainline. You want your chainring as close in line with your sprocket as possible. So you'll need to measure what spindle length you need(in mm) in order for the chain to run smooth. I have an older steel frame and I used like a 107... something like that.

No, 4 CM wide wheels will not fit on this grinder. 1 inch looks like the max width on mine.

Yes you can use any size wheels mine are stock size and they have plenty of room

An expert friend of mine says YES but advises use of an 8 or 9 speed chain for best results. 7 speed chains are getting hard to find anyway, he says.

Yes they can. In fact I replaced one of the grinding wheels with a wire brush. Make sure the brush has a 1/2" arbor hole.

I actually just did a 1x10 conversion with 32 tooth up front and a 42 tooth in back. Still works flawlessly. Definitely start with a new chain though,narrow wide chain ring up front and One Up extended cog in back with the special mad 16 tooth cog that replaces your 15 and 17 tooth cog.

I wouldn't suggest it. These are regular stone and sand grinding wheels. For ceramic you are going to need something with diamond wheels.

Have to use them, these require different size bearings. Which are included.

Yes. I would use a concrete grinding wheel and a concrete cut off wheel. Both are available at hardware stores.

hi Ed, i'm pretty sure you would want to get a 5/16 grinding stone for your saw chain. i'm assuming you have something like a ms 260 class chainsaw.

Bearings are universally sized so that fit every wheel. Likewise, all wheels can use any bearings. So yes.

Depends on the chain. Do you have any specifications?www.oregonchain.com has an excellent guide that explains all the parts of a chain. That would probably help you figure out what size chain you have.Or, if you have the Dremel kit, with the three different stones, you could figure out what size cutters your chain has by holding each bit up to a cutter to determine which one fits.Or...you could take your chain to a hardware store and compare the various round files to your chain to determine the best fit.I would guess an 18" chainsaw would require a 3/16" bit, or file, but you need to make sure before trying to sharpen it.

Just get a four jaw Chuck and use high quality turning tools and get a diamond grinding wheel and you're set. This large is by definition a mini lathe, so it's intended for smaller jobs but you can turn a bowl on it!
