Questions

1–8 of 8 Questions  
Sort by:

  1. Does it change angles for different chains? thks

    1. Yes. The grinder head tilts to different angles, and the chain vise rotates to different angles.

      The vise on this grinder does not tilt (+/-10 degrees) like some do for a 'down angle' that some users want.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes.

      Helpful?

    3. yes, different settings for almost every different chain out there. Owners manual will explain it.

      Helpful?

    4. It changes angles for just about any chain made. It has adjustments at the top and the cut angle at the bottom.

      Helpful?

    5. The Oregon bench chain grinder Model # 510A has bed tilt, full angle side to side, and head angle tilt,
      To sharpen different size chains you would change the grinding wheel ( Includes 1/8in., 3/16in and 1/4in. grinding wheels)

      Helpful?

  2. how do I know what size sharpening wheels to order

    1. The book that is sent with the sharpener and the chain size for your saw will give you the answer. If it is a .325 or .375 or larger tooth size the book will give you the answer.

      Helpful?

    2. Different size (pitch) chain requires different size wheels. This grinder should include both 1/8" thick and 3/16" thick wheels of the correct diameter to sharpen most chainsaw chain.

      The instruction manual should have a chart telling you which grinding wheel to use with which chain. This information is often printed on the package that the chain came with, in the chainsaw instruction manual, or can be found on the chain manufacturer's website (oregon, STIHL, etc.)

      Helpful?

    3. It depends on the chain you are using. See Below

      1/8in. vitrified grinding wheel sharpens 1/4in., 0.325in. (except 20 series) and 3/8in. (91 series only) pitch chains

      3/16in. vitrified grinding wheel sharpens 0.325in. (20 and 95 series only), 3/8in. (except 91 series) and 0.404in. pitch chains

      1/4in. vitrified grinding wheel sharpens 1/2in. pitch chains and sets depth gauges

      Helpful?

    4. The wheel needed will be determined by the series and pitch of your chain, attached is a explanation of what wheels are available and what size and pitch they work on.

      Helpful?

  3. Does the motor reverse so both cutters can be sharpened from the inside out?

    1. No this grinder is only one direction. It only rotates to push away the debris from you.

      Helpful?

    2. Not the one I got from Northern Tools.

      Helpful?

    3. no , only rotates counter clockwise

      Helpful?

    4. No, the motor for the Bench Chain Grinder #510A is not reversible.

    1. No, this unit does not have a light.

      Helpful?

    2. No it doesn't. The next model up has one but it costs $100 more.

  6. INSTRUCTION MANUAL

    DOES ITEM COME WITH HOW TO OPERATE MANUAL ?

    1. Mine did.

      Helpful?

    2. Yes I beleive it does, if yours doesn't you can look up the info online. But overall you simply plug in, turn several different knobs to make it match up the cut of your chain, then work every other tooth at 30 degrees, then turn the chain around and work the other teeth at the other 30 degree mark.

      Helpful?

    3. The grinder will come with a instruction manual.

      Helpful?

  7. Oregon Bench-Mount Chain Grinder, Model# 510A will this sharpin carbide chains?

    1. Yes, but you will need a diamond wheel to do so.

      Helpful?

      Helpful?

  8. Will the model 510A grind the depth gauges on the saw chain

    1. yes, it explains it in the owners manual.
