You're welcome. Glad you got something out of it. Cheers

I don't know what you mean. The tip could never wear down so it hits the pockets. Maybe you don't know how these teeth work. However use whatever teeth floats your boat. I use yellow jackets have for 15 years and have had no issues with them breaking, sharpening etc. Go green if you want.....they are simply sharp teeth. Cheers

​@@jimmygreen50 around the 4min mark when you find the example of a tooth that is worn down too far to sharpen, looks like you have about 10mm either side of the centre line, I would be wanting to use that down to 2mm either side. To do that you would have to grind the tooth back as far in as the mounting pin, which would cause the compromise in strength or end up hitting the pockets instead of the teeth. Leonardi have similar tip and body shape, but as you wear and sharpen, you just pull more of the tooth out of the pockets to get your distance from the wheel and pockets. If I can find some pics of mine that are really worn vs new I will try upload and tag you or comment here

@@jimmygreen50 just uploaded a clip for you to see a brand new tooth vs a worn tooth, I would even get a few more sharpens out of the worn one. Should be on my account in the shorts

I have used the green wheel in the past and it works but it takes some time and accuracy. The diamond wheel is dummy proof....yes much more.expensive but shouldn't have to replace in a long time.

Nice machine but heard a bit underpowered. I like the tracks tho. My 362 has been a workhorse

@@jimmygreen50 just talking to a friend of mine that's putting a 35 horse vanguard on his Sc252!! Might do the same with mine

I'd stick with Kohler honestly. Briggs has been ok so far but not as smooth running. My old 252 with the Kohler was never an issue. But so far vanguard has been a good engine

@@jimmygreen50 yes, he has a bigger Kohler I would like to do that with

I stick to the existing angle on the tooth. I think as long as it's slanted as before you should be good to go. I have not had any issues to date. Sharpened teeth are about 90%. Not as good as a new tooth but pretty close.

Hi Max.... I did not measure it but it is slightly smaller than the stock size tooth....I'm assuming this is to resize the tooth to sharpen it. Mine seems to fit slightly tighter when starting the grind which makes sense. I would also assume the disk does wear over time and become wider so the tighter fit compensates for this. As far as the grit goes....it's fine...the teeth come out sharp and no heavy grit marks.....I have not noticed any issue with the end result. I will say the end result after grinding the teeth is very acceptable. I will also say I grind about 30 stumps a week on average of all sizes and have not had any issues with unsharp teeth. As with any blade they don't last forever. So I will replace teeth after 2 sharpening max.

@@jimmygreen50 thanks again. I appreciate your help and advice.

Go to the website. Thorvie.com I believe. They are tooth specific wheel description. It's a 6" wheel made for yellowjacket teeth.

Thorvie.com.

So far I have ground about 120 teeth give or take double sided and minimal wear on the wheel. So if you add up the cost of these teeth less the price of the wheel it's paid for itself 2.5x already with lots of life left on it. Really hard to say but I would expect 400 plus maybe more?

@@jimmygreen50 that's sounds pretty ok. Thanks 😊

@Max Nielsen no worries. Fyi i had all the same concerns when looking for an alternative to buying new teeth every time...simply based on the cost....very expensive but worth it in my opinion. It's saved me at least $1500 so far and could go 3 to 4 times that.... depending on how long the wheel lasts. We will see. Also I paid for it with my own money....I have no affiliation with the company. Cheers

You can run it wet yes...but I'm sure it's a mess. Need a special tray for that. I use a respirator when grinding.....just didn't when I made the video. You are right carbide dust is not good to breath in. Always wear a mask and eye protection when sharpening. Cheers

I can usually grind about 10 to 15 stumps (30 to 40 cm) with a set of teeth depending on if there's rocks etc....sometimes more....larger stumps depends on the soil....but I have ground some big 100cm stumps without hitting anything and teeth stay sharp.

The holder and diamond disk comes as a package for around 650 usd .... The wheel can be bought separately for around 75 less I think. Check them out Throvie International. I have no affiliation with them....just found it by googling around. There are 2 companies selling the same disks it seems around the same price.

What grinder wheel is that? I didn’t see it in the link.

I haven't added up what I have saved but I have sharpened about 20+ sets of teeth so far. At $260 a set that's about $5500. Worth the money! Still going strong ... I have minimal wear so far. I was thinking it's rediculously overpriced but in reality it will save you thousands in the long run. Cheers

Lol. Well have fun. Might take you 10 x longer but have at'er
