Chainsaw Repair

The only thing that I dislike about Simington swing arm grinders is that the chain holder is made from high density plastic.  Time, heat & oil will eventually cause the chain holder to distort to the point that it will no longer accept the stated chain gauge.

However, the Silvey chain holder is made of aluminum and appear to be the same dimensions.  I put one on one of my Simington grinders and it works great.  I bought the Silvey chain holder from Madsens.

Thanks for the info Devon!

 Just ordered a aluminum Silvey chain holder today.
I would think that those Silvey parts will sell out soon too. So get while the getting is good!

I can make the chain holders.  So far I've been making them from steel so they should last longer.  Here is one on a RSII I just rebuilt for a friend.
