Nick The Grinder for 10 degree ripping chain.

[Jim Spencer]

Anyone use Nick The Grinder to sharpen Ripping Chains to 10 Degree angle?
Does it work O.K.?
I have always sharpened my chain free hand with a file holder but maybe would do better to use Nick The Grinder to touch-up after hand sharpening a few times.
Any Information or comments anyone can contribute will be appreciated.
Even if you don't use a grinder your input/opinions/comments will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim,

This was a well discussed topic on the Yahoo milling forum about a year ago I`d say. The consensus was that the Nick does a good job for what you pay for it. I`d have to say that a deft hand would be needed or you could easily flex the accuracy out of a lightweight grinder like the Nick.

it's pretty stiff, and the plastic used isn't the type that will twist easily.

Thanks for the feedback on that Oldsaw. I`ve never used one but they do look flimsy compared to some of the expensive grinders that I have.
