Gettin into the square grind and this helps a ton as far as seeing what works for you. Great video Buckin. Thank you. Love ya brother.🌲❤️🌲👊🪓

[@michaelwhiteoldtimer7648]

A good zero turn mower is like a square ground chain it will cut your work time in half. Love wins

[@johnkenny2210]

Buckin 👍 Top show have watched you use that simington grinder in previous shows very interesting Have used chain in the past in Australia 🇦🇺 simington chain grinder must be a Canadian and American grinder very impressive 👍 Thanks for sharing Johno Darwin NT

[@beerayfarms7979]

You have great skills with the camera. I’ve been playing with my silvey and getting a “feel” for it since we were going back and forth. The way you can zoom in on cutters helped a great deal, Thanks! I’d have been sort of lost without ya even though it’s a different machine the end product is what matters, and to quote someone I’ve heard before, “She Cuts Eh?”

[@OzarkMidwest]

Side beak game on!!! You're mow time will cut in half, and I believe we all know how valuable time is.Thanks for sharing Buckin!!!

Mr Bucking Thank you. Iv been watching you for only a couple months as of now but your videos have helped me to understand and get better at hand filing

[@PowersawOrphanage]

Just in the title. I’m very excited to observe your experience buckin.

[@Warcrime700]

I had the same moment recently on my first coastal falling job. Bullbucker handed me his saw and my jaw hit the floor. About to grab my first Simington from Walkers really soon for my next shift in camp! Thanks Buckin'!

[@michaeldohrmann6272]

You’re an honest hard working man you deserve something new to enjoy once in a while. Keep being you Buckin !

[@nicksanders9140]

Nice last shot you can see it in the shadow on the stone....keep teaching Billy i love it!

[@classicfordmuscle]

Love the old FE exhaust manifold gasket on the wall. I love my FE's.

[@patthesoundguy]

I have been experimenting quite a bit over the last year with my princess auto Oregon style grinder... I have been saving chains that are good and cooked to play with. I'm not quite to where I want yet but I sure enjoy the process. I made a mount for the grinder so I can put it on a speaker stand and get it right up to eye level so I can really see what's going on. Thanks for showing your grinds, it will certainly help.

[@timothynickerson9724]

My saws have such a good grind my wife wont stop snatching my top handle. She says “ babe! This is sharp!” Haha! Thanks for the great video Buckin’.

[@dn0682]

Thank you very much sir for the information you shared with us, probably the only channel with so much free info and good advice. Thank you and God bless you.

[@ClellWise]

well congrats on the new mower. As you've already stated, the time savings alone vs pushing will make so much difference. Will allow you more time for the power saws, axes, or whatever.

You're gonna love that mower! Thanks for sharing your grinding! Keep up the great work 👍

[@aussiehardwood6196]

I love Silvey and Simmington grinders....Ive nearly given up one of my big saws for one. Yeah I can hand file with a chisel bit but if u want square ground 'work' chains...a Simington is needed.

[@joschmoyo4532]

I get it but I don't use my chainsaws enough to get the grinder. That's not a criticism. I have many thousands invested in other sharpening gear for my woodshop. But the great thing about this video is that it teaches the subtleties of Sharpening. Lots of variables, lots of detail decisions and skills to master. But it's worth it. Sharpening is one of those skills where you never stop learning or refining your technique. Tiny adjustments can make a huge difference. Bevel angle, skew, hook, depth of cut, type of grinding stone etc. Timber is a demanding mistress.

[@wednesdar452]

Beauty grinder and mower! Congratulations on the new purchase. My pops has one of those things, and they rip!! Too steep here, all walk behind/string trimmer.

[@peterwill3699]

Hi,I can't see my top plate either,even with a mirror.Thank you for this information Looks like a killer grind. 1500 dollars is way out of my budget.I still can't get a raker gage to work after I bought one you shown us to use.* still use my 50 year gravely 4 wheel,hahaha.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

grinder is not recommended for a lil firewoodin' here and there... nice for makin stumps tho.

Buckin, you will like the zero turn mowers. They are efficient tools. Make life easier. Just need to watch steeper banks. It is a nice tool. Take care.

I think that will be a nice side gig for your boy to get into he has a lot guys he works with all the guys in camp

[@jasonreese4824]

Love it buckin you are a cool man like watch you

[@DeltaFoxtrotWhiskey]

The nice man in the Bailey’s video is the man that builds the Simington. Kelly Peel.

[@bryanmarks4070]

Nice video. I have a few video on my channel talking about grinding. Once I got my 451c it totally changed my falling. A 5* degree side plate angle is good. The tooth heals back in the cut cuz the working corner of the tooth is higher then the raker so when the tooth is cutting wood the tooth heals back till the raker touches the wood. Making the 5* degree side plate almost 0. The lower your raker are the more the tooth heals back changing your angles. That’s why I run my chains pretty snug. I hope that all makes sense. Stay safe my friend!

[@bryanherbert5454]

Hey buckin just made my day

[@rickodoiron6929]

Awesome unit buddy im thinking about buying one too .....im a Husky guy too 😁✊

[@Alexhulk]

Cool my favorite part of the day !

[@DevonReeley]

Much love!!

[@mendonesiac]

The Bailey's video was good. I'm guessing that guy probably ground more than a few of my chains back when I used to take them to town (Laytonville) when it was $3 to sharpen them.

[@Alexhulk]

Wow man Husqvarna super-duper tractor!

[@JakePlisskin12]

iv been looking to get a new mower. and yeah they are like 5 to 7 grand. i have three acres at what point of buying a new mower and or paying someone to mow the lawn and saving 2 to 3 hours of riding the lawn mower, weed wacking, pulling out the push mower for under the pine trees and spots that the big mower cant get. but at what point will that break even. i generally mow the lawn like once a week. so probably 14 to 20 times a year.

I know a guy that put is angle less than supposed..cut bit less, but when hit something less sharpening.chain last longer

[@jreif14]

Man I’d love one of those Simington’s. I have an Oregon 620-120 that seems to do ok. Still messing with the angles trying to figure out what works best. Any recommendations on grinding wheels?

You would not believe one of the ads on this video showing how to sharpen a chain with a chainsaw jig. I guess they think someone will bite. 😅

I love this grinder. But it is quite expensive to get it to Norway

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

you can do square by hand

[@ttcuatro]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith yes I have done square by hand for a long time. But I did buy the simington from USA. Have never done it by hand again. To mutch work doing it by hand.

One advantage to my way of getting chain sharpened is I get some Amish peanut butter pie while I wait.

[@chadrogers4635]

What grinding stone are you using?

[@woos31]

I was grinding chain on the opposite side so opening the arm to my left hand, chain was WAY down in the last grind or two stage before you start rippin off cutter teeth.........I opens the arm to check out the grind and I'm up under the top plate, got the corner amd all the things right, well I reach over with my right hand to lift the backing arm that holds the tooth to turn it up to my work light...........damn grinder almost falls over, dust flying off the stone, and I'm thinkin what n hell is goin on, smell stone dust and burnt skin and again thinkin what n hell is goin on? Well my middle finger knuckle had hit the bottom corner of the stone when I reached across and laced my finger open like a scalpel about an 1" long, cut so clean it never did bleed but three drops! Barely missed the tendon and earnt 10 stitches in and inch of didget, needless to say that slowed my firewood cuttin up a touch. Same exact grinder our pal is usin in this here video, so from a big dummy not only chain is sharp after it touches a properly dressed stone haha!! If your just learnin on a grinder like this, take yer time fellas.......it's not a race and you'll appreciate it alot when you have that look buckin explained the first time yer grind cuts eh!

Is there a grinder that you would recommend that does a square grind that isn’t 1500$! Iv been looking at them lately and there are sooo many to choose from and it seems most have about 50-50 good vs bad reviews. I just figure as deep in sharpening and saws and your connections you might know of a grinder that works well for a homeowner for a reasonable price.

[@BuckinBillyRaySmith]

i can only recommend what i have experience with, you could learn to hand file square

[@terrycalvert7812]

@@BuckinBillyRaySmith Yeah I ordered a half dozen double bevel flat files from Madsen’s and after a few times iv got that pretty good still have a lil trouble keeping it right in the corner but maybe I’ll just stick to the square files then. I cut a lot but just around my farm and I just can’t see spending that much for one like yours. Maybe find a good used one some day for a good price I can pick up!!
