Keep on the look out for a used grinder. There have been a lot
of old swing arms to go in the $200+ area in recent times. They
are actually pretty simple devices with the only sophisticated
parts being the main frame and arm castings and you can often
get the parts to fix them locally or even have a local machinist
make you a part.
I wasn't actually looking very hard for the one I have. My
grinder was listed on "the bay" and didn't sell - when the owner
mentioned, on here, that he wanted to sell it and here is the
Silvey swing arm grinder - all refurbished.

Very nice presentation 660magnum. It is great reading and full
of lots of good information. I would like to have a square
grinder but I am not up for the kind of money it takes.

I hate it when these things show up right with the holidays and
you have spent your limit.

I seen that the other day. I really don't need it but it would
look good between my RZ II and a silvey 600 round grinder. :D

I think that is why a lot of stuff goes up for sale.
I mean dang guys are unloading the saws left and right. Some
people must really be hurting out there IMO.

A couple years ago you had a new Silvey Swing Arm?

I sold the swing arm and got a RZ II. I liked the swing arm for
the simplicity and how quick to sharpen work chain. I wouldn't
mind having one to do work chain on with the RZ for trying to
make fast chains.

Using my swing arm, I consider it could really work great doing
the same work chain angles all the time.

The setup is quicker on the swing arm. The dual chain holders is
a pain to get them perfectly aligned so both sides are exactly
the same. I had to get an angle finder to do it.

I will get one.
