Yes armbru84 has them and I think av80r has posted about one. They are $300 I think? $150 to recoat. The corner wears off, more if converting from round a lot
I pulled it out of my nether regions…sorry…fine grind is irrelevant for work chain.
@Tree09 i despise trad grinding wheels, mainly due to the grit everywhere, unless i want to shape the wheel for a special grind. CBN is awesome. Never had a lick of trouble and hardly bother to clean them or my...
I have a Baltic and a wood turner’s wonders
The WTW is less $ I think and coarser so faster metal removal with less heat fixing rocked chains, but maybe a less than ideal edge? I could never tell.
I got a std Baltic which is a mixed grit and it’s good…I had them make me a fine wheel and it...
I like @huskihl ’s grinder. Not expensive and has an auto clamp. Can’t remember which it is. My stihl USG is nice but they are kinda expensive. Mine is old and I got it for less than a new cheap grinder but it still works well.

By hand saws you mean up in the tree top handles? I have stihl full chisel for that, can’t remember if Oregon has a full chisel LP.
Call Madsen’s, 2 for one pricing on loops. They’ll know on the full chisel too. They...
I have not gotten around to durability testing but I am reasonably sure Xcut is about on par with Oregon or better but not as durable as stihl. I think @huskihl has.
I’d break and spin for that many loops….
Generally, folks say oregon for racing and stihl for work. I have found it to be true in the nasties I cut.
If you cut mostly clean, oregon is just fine. I rarely have to sharpen my "up in the tree" saws.
How you sharpen makes a difference too.
Man that fb group is a joke, and the admin is a jackwagon…
Xcut has interesting geometry out of the box, and is generally regarded as the fastest out of the box chain.
