I review the Vevor Chainsaw Grinder. This tools surprised me as the quality was much better than expected for the price. I have been using this grinder for almost a month now and have seen a huge improvement in the sharpness of my chainsaws. This has been a game changer for me and I would highly recommend this grinder if you are looking for a sharper chainsaw.

I cut a large heavy log on my Woodland Mills HM130 Max. At one point I could not turn the log by hand so I used the tractor to help out.

Got to get a grinder one of these days. I use the same apparatus you used.
Neat log turner.
Ñice video mate,I just to sharpen with that stihl 2in1 but have progressed to a single file sharpening, never looked back . After all it's all in the filling, can't bring that electric sharpening device into the woods 😊 ! Good luck with your new sharpening ways
Nice. I seem to get a better cut with the grinder than the file but agree, you can't take it in the woods. Still using the file in the woods for that reason plus using it occasionally helps cut down the rakers. Thanks for watching and commenting.
I use a file without a guide its fast and I have full control and I see everything if the chip rackers are high just check with the guide and usr a flat file. How does the grinder work in the paddock?
Just need a really long extension cord 😀. You are right, not good for field work. Still going to use the file for that. Thanks for watching!
Nothing was like a Silvey grinder. Now it's all wannabe grinders made in China. Some work well, some don't....tough field to negotiate.
Quality was high on my mind but was very pleased with the grinder. Thanks for watching.
Great review!
Thanks, and thanks for watching.
I love great technology, but its always great to know how to do it with some files, just in case we find ourselves without power some day
You are right, knowing how to sharpen by hand is a useful skill. Thanks for watching!
doesn't look like you can do the depth gauge with it
It has depth
Do chains last longer grinding or hand filing been thinking about getting a gronder
I don't have any conclusive evidence either way but would think that the grinder would take off more metal easier than filing so more likely to wear out the chain sooner.
Good video. Very informative, and nice demonstration. Looks like I'll be adding another tool to my arsenal.
Thank you. Appreciate the kind words and support!
There is nothing better than using a grinder on your saw chains. The first time I used it on one that had been hand filed I found out that not all of my cutters were the same length front to back. I know that there are a lot of individuals that do file by hand. And kudos to you. But I don’t carry a pocket knife because I have not been able to sharpen one correctly and the other side of that story is I don’t have a need for a pocket knife. I now have enough saw chains with me that when one gets dull. I just take it off. Put a new one on and sharpen it when I get back to the garage. And because I didn’t sharpen them correctly. They didn’t last as long compared to the ones that come off of the grinder. I have an Oregon sharpener. Looks just like the one that you’re using. Keep up the good videos. Enjoyed it very much thank you.
I agree, I get much better results grinding rather than filing. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Looks like a nice machine...nice review
Thanks for watching
I always had trouble getting my chains filed consistently the same on both sides. I purchased a Harbor Freight sharpener and had the same concerns that you did with the Vevor. I have had good luck with using it. I try to set it so that I take off the minimum amount of the tooth that I can so that I don't ruin the chain by sharpening too often. The Vevor sharpener looks to have some better features than my Harbor Freight sharpener. I may have to look into upgrading. Thanks for the video.
Thanks Mike. I was very pleased with the performance and results of the Vevor Chainsaw grinder. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great video enjoy watching thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Good job. It's always a challange to handle big heavy objects by yourself. I keep thinking "how can I do this better, safer, quicker". This is going to be a great build project to follow. Thanks for bringing us along
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the support.
Nice grapple work !
Thanks!
Good job! You've got to think out of the box when you are a one man show. Speaking of that nice camera angles, that must have slowed the process down a bit.
It does take a little longer. Thanks for watching!
What a great job of using hydraulics to set those back post in. Just started sawing posts and beams for my sawmill shed. Haven’t come up yet with the exact design yet. But watching all the different types on all the u-tube channels sure helps. Keep up the great videos. Thank you.
Thanks for watching. Appreciate the kind words.
Great looking Lumber nice Sawmill thanks for sharing have a great day
You too! Thanks for subscribing!
That cant hook is pretty slick!
Thanks. A subscriber made that for me. If you have a mill and are interested in one I know he has sold a few to others. He can be reached at bterry35@hotmail.com
In this case, a 5-12-13 triangle (or doubled 10-24-26) might have worked better by giving you a longer side/end to work with. Either way, using a math formula to lay out the shed makes it easier and more accurate. I saw one guy laying out a shed by using a framing square and just looking down the sides!! Not very accurate. Thanks for bringing us along. Good luck on the build
Good thought. Didn't think about using a triangle larger than the building but you are right it would be more accurate.
Framing square would work a little faster then measure diagonal to double check your square.
@@kennylavay8492 The guy that I saw using a framing square didn't measure diagonals. He just sighted down the framing square and called it good. He was fast, I'll give him that
Nice job on the layout and digging the holes. Looking forward to the rest of the build. Thanks for bringing us along. Getting closer to 1,000 subsribers
Thanks Mike.
Good Job Ole Boy !
Thank you sir!
@@mylifedeliberately Im building a table just like your as we speak , Thanks for a cool video

I feel smarter :)
You sound smarter! 😀👍Thanks for watching!

Nice. Thanks for watching!
Looking forward to watching this build!
Cool. Thanks for following the build.
Good job! Laying out a building can be one of the most frustrating part (for me at least) of the whole build.
It's definitely not the most fun part. Thanks for watching!
I saw a short where you use a hook and a strap to turn heavy logs. I can't find the video or where that hook came from. I would love to have one! Thanks for great videos.
Thanks for watching and for your interest in the hook. Here is a link to the original video: th-cam.com/video/c_20ZWz-sVY/w-d-xo.html . The hook was made for me by another TH-camr, 6.8Liter74, www.youtube.com/@6.8liter74. You can reach him at bterry35@hotmail.com. His name is Brian and I know that he has made a few for others who have asked.
Nice job sir, what state are you in?
I am in North Idaho. Thanks so much for watching!
Good job. You ended up with some fine looking lumber. The lift on the head makes it easier to get accurate boards. Thanks for bringing us along
Thanks for watching!
With such thick slabs left over .. Could you have bumped up one inch before cutting to your can’t size, cut at one inch above, then bumped down an inch to cut at your can’t size? That may have given you 4 more boards that may have been smaller but still useful? Just thinking to myself until I get my first sawmill,
It is true you can get more lumber out of them and a lot of people do. I also need firewood for the winters up here, so I leave the slabs a little thick to give me better firewood. The alternative would be to cut down some trees exclusively for firewood and not get any lumber from them. Kind of a tradeoff. Thanks for watching!
Nice video ! The bees on the camera are giving me a bit of anxiety :)
The bees seem to not bother me so long as I don't bother them. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the voice-over, it helps me as a non-sawmill user, to know what's going on.
Thanks for watching!
Valve that controls the water flow at the tank leaks air unless it all the way open and the tube gets air locked. If you buy a little ball valve meant for sprinklers and put it in line in the tube right above the blade you can control the water pretty well.
Could you leave the grapple close by to offload the heavy lumber?
New sub here, Just came across your channel. Great setup you have there. Is awesome for a one person operation👍TCT
Thanks for the sub and thanks for watcing!
I really like your slab cutting jig. I might steal your idea. Did you ever consider piling the split wood in an IBC tote then storing under a roof till needed? That way handling is reduced once again.
Thanks for watching. I have considered that, but I don't like the idea of reaching over the top and trying to reach the wood at the bottom. Long term I want to get forks for the tractor and make some 3-sided boxes for the firewood.
@@mylifedeliberately Yes, I get that about the totes however I have seen guys cutting a U shape out of one side of the tote in order to alleviate the reach. In my case I have devised a couple of skid bins as you mention. Basically 2x6 frames at three sides strapped together at the top and heavy screen between the openings. I use a sheet of plywood on the forth side with a ratchet strap to prevent the wood from spilling out while moving.
That’s a great efficient setup you got going 👏👏
Thanks, and thanks for watching!
Nice video. Nice view from the future firewoods perspective 😂. I bet you dont supply the same view as it goes into the wood stove 😅
Thanks!
Keep learning as you go. The process can always improve Will you be showing work on the sawmill shed soon?? Thanks for bringing us along
Thanks for watching Mike. I am still hoping to at least get started before winter. Have recently been working behind the scenes adding electricity out to my pole barn.
Another good one my friend ! Yes that works great & two or 3 slabs at a time a little faster, 👍When you did the first few I was like you can put more on there lol, I do most of my cutting in winter check out my winter hauling just straight from the bush to the wood box when ever I have the room :) Great Tips Take care
I checked out some of your winter firewood videos. Nice. I thought I might try some tree falling this winter but am concerned about the depth of snow. We can typically have 3 feet most of the winter which might make it too difficult. We will see. Thanks for watching!
@@mylifedeliberately Yes winter can be fun but can be tough some years, We get two to three feet but in my part the snow don't pack it's very dry, video's last winter we had about two feet by first of Jan then after our -50c for two weeks it warmed & we got a bunch of rain day after day & melted half of it from then on it was real easy getting around in the bush :) But the trails were rough, Usually by mid Feb I can't break trails anymore with my sled , Just stay on the old trails, Take care
One of the most important things you forgot, a sharp chain!
Thanks for the advice and for watching.
A sharp chain would have been much easier cutting. I would practice on your saw skills before doing the next dangerous tree.
Almost looks he is new to felling and bucking.
Thanks for the advice and for watching.
That's the first thing I noticed. That chain was duller than a mud fence!
Good job. Talking about how to do it and going slow are always good ideas. Glad you had your friends there to help. How far up the tree did the rot go? Looks like some leaning trees in the background. They can be troublemakers also. Thanks for the video. Hope you get to 1,000 subscribers soon.
Thanks for watching. I took your previous advice and had someone watching just in case.
Forgot to mention, the rot went up about 15 feet.
Nice job Sir and your friends to help and keep an eye out for you.
Thank you and thanks for watching!
Keep going,we all make misstake😀
Thanks, and thanks for watching and commenting!
Jim, you were having a bad day, I think we have all been there and done that. I've always had the impression that once something goes wrong every thing done thereafter to correct it, just makes it worse, anyway that's how it works for me.
Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching.
😅Nathan from out of the woods uses diesel in a spray bottle to keep the blade clean from pine pitch.
Is he using a Woodland Mills sawmill? I have heard, but not confirmed, that diesel is bad for the belts in the Woodland Mills. Thanks for watching!
@@mylifedeliberately He is using a woodmlser mill.
nice set up but i would have it milled by now!
Was having a big problem with pitch build up on my blades and when I turned the volume of flow up that problem went away. I'm using Straight windshield washer fluid also and I have the HM130 MAX. I even posted a video of me scraping the blade off with a utility knife
I am going to switch over to the windshield washing fluid and will turn up the flow. Thanks for watching!
Pine is very bad for pitch take lots of soapy water , I cut green spruce I use next to no water at all & I have no problem at all, 100hrs I've used 5 gallons of water & 3 winter windshield washer fluid so I use very little:) Take care friend"
