What an excellent video! I have one of these still in the box, was to intimidated to unpack it as i thought it was going to be a pain to set up. It's coming out of the box straight after breakfast!

That's the spirit Jack! Once you get the hang of it it is really straight forward! Watch the little yellow knob on the left. It locks the head in the upright position.

Try to take less tooth away, watch the cutting corner and when sharp, quit. If a tooth or few are shorter, modestly sharpen them and then do the others with a more appropriate length setting. If that does not work for your milline,replace the damagedcutter(s). When your switch to CBN grinding wheel, will be very impressed.

Thanks for the advice Rooster. I took way too much off the first chain, but it was my first time ever. I think it is only the ripping chain that needs to be balanced and for the skip tooth won't make any difference. I tried something else on the other ripping chain. There was one bad tooth that I had to grind it hard, but instead of grinding all the other teeth the same I did only one on the other side of the chain to make a pair of short teeth(right, left). It seems to be balanced. I definitely want to move to CBN but I can't justify the cost until I have worn out these wheels first.
