We bought one at the shop but got no manual as to setup and use. Downloaded one but its not overly clear on how to use either.

For those not owning a USG grinder, the angles on the USG grinder read different than the usual 30-60-10 degree reading on a Oregon grinder.

So that is the reason for this discussion.

I have the instructions for the Square Grind Attachment.  I am told that these are pretty rare.

Probably more trouble than it is worth unless you dedicate the grinder to square chains only?

Seen pictures of a square adapter on a Silvey 300 round chain grinder on Ebay. couldn't see why it wouldn't work OK?
