Chainsaw Repair

Just purchased this one: Oregon 310-120 Mini Grinder
http://www.oregonproducts.com/pro/products/accessories/BenchGrinder_310-120.htm

Looks like some of the 'Harbor Freight' type grinders, but has a cast aluminum base instead of plastic; nicer chain placement dog; comes with 2 wheels, dressing brick, wheel profile gauge, etc.
About twice the price of the (discounted) cheap versions, and about half the price of their old, Tecomec style mini grinder. Price may come down once more vendors start selling it, offeering it on eBay, etc.

I am going to play with it, and compare it to a few of the cheap mini grinders I bought as a challenge earlier this year to see if it is any better.

Fixed grinder head tilt angle (fixes the top plate cutting edge angle); adjustable vise rotation (top plate angle and side plate cutting edge angle); no 'down angle'.  Limited power compared to full sized grinders, but might be OK for a 'take-along' compact grinder for touch ups?
