Alpine Magnum- 3120 or 088?

[MasterBlaster]

I have 1/2 doz windows open at all times.

 

[Bodean]

On your phone? In the truck.....still on hold now 20 minutes....

 

[sotc]

I close all the Windows when I have the A/C on : drink:

 

[Bodean]

Do you sharpen the teeth on the machine or in a vice?

 

[sotc]

On a bench grinder

 

[sotc]

Battery powered impact gun makes changing teeth quick

 

[CurSedVoyce]

Seriously, Stephen I'm looking for something besides this big truck....A bike and trailer might be interesting.

Almost bought a trike last fall. It was built stout with a receiver powered by VW. I was thinking for consults and sinple jobs that could fit in a small trailer. Someone got to it before I saw some good money on a job. Other wise

 

[Burnham]

Now Stephen...that would not be right at all. You have to represent, and a VW powered trike is so deep into the lame zone, as to be embarrassing. Do not go there, ever.

 

[Bodean]

LOL.

 

[rbtree]

It's imperative here to dig first.

You don't know what's in there.
Could be a gun.

Also, the AM dulls in an instant.

Pulaski, shovel and a serious ass axe mattox I think it's called. I'll get a picture.

Stump removal is either digging, chopping, grinding or pulling.

You can also use dull teeth to clear out around the stump...works well in conjunction with digging..... And use the rock teeth...they don't get hammered as quickly as the more agressive regular teeth....

I haven't used my AM in months, and that does not displease me.... my aches and pains are bad enough as it is.....

 

[CurSedVoyce]

I dunno, it wwwwas a pretty cool trike
Lol

 

[sotc]

I'm not convinced the rock teeth last longer...

 

[Bodean]

I've been leaving the teeth on the wheel and grinding with the angle grinder.
Do you only sharpen the top of the tooth or the raker too?

I have new teeth too, both kinds.

 

[sotc]

If you grind the tooth, the raker should be ground as well. Did you get a tooth gauge? Handy tool

 

[Bodean]

Yes....so the Guage probably has the right raker/cutter ratio on it as well as the 5 degree line.....cool.

 

[Burnham]

I dunno, it wwwwas a pretty cool trike

No it wasn't, Stephen.

Two reasons:
1) it was powered by a Vdub
2) it was a trike

Either one cut the cool quotient down to near zero...together, off the scale sad .

But if you liked it, then it musta been the right one for you; so pay no attention to my opinion, for it does not matter a whit...too bad the dinero was short that week .

Yeppie

I rarely grind the rakers, as they usually seem to be worn down by the brutal effect of grinding..

Bad idea unless you have a green wheel for the angle grinder for the carbide, And, above all, wear a mask. Carbide dust is carcinogenic--nasty stuff

 

[Bodean]

I've been using a dust mask and a diamond? wheel.

 

[SouthSoundTree-]

dust mask doesn't cut it. you need a respirator.

 

[pantheraba]

That is what I was thinking....dust mask is minimal...doubtful adequate.

 

[Bodean]

Anyone got a picture of these respirators?

And how do you grind the tooth flat? Stock sharpened teeth out of the box blow my sharpened ones outta the water.

Feeling dumb. #Shouldatakenshop

I got a respirator at Lowe's it said for non harmful dust....probably wrong respirator.

 

[sotc]

Either a 6 inch or 8 inch wheel (I can't remember), set the rest flat and in the center, set back of tooth on rest and grind the top. The round wheel will give the tooth relief. If you're grinding flat that may be the problem. And I always checked the raker after grinding and shaped as needed.

 

[Bodean]

Wheel grinder sounds way better than an angle grinder?

I need one of those and a serious vice in my shop...
