As far as rakers, it'd sure help with that. Grinding rakers down with a dremel makes the stones pretty uneven. It's hard to keep it where you need it while grinding without it skipping around. |
No Therrin, I am not familiar with any other grinders. IMO the most important part is setting the machine up. You want to set it up so the longest chain will not touch the floor. I also like to sit down while doing it so a tall bar type chair works. If you put it (bolt it) on your work bench it gets in the way. I had my welder friend make me a stand that puts the area where the wheel meets the chain right around eye level when sitting down. A good focused light source is also important right on the chain. I ve got a fluorescent light also on a moveable, bendable type stand that works perfect. I d go for the cheaper one if all is fairly equal specs.
PS. Sorry for a bit of a wrestling match on other thread. I m over it if you are.
