thinking of starting a chain sharpening sideline.

One more note i was told id like any grinder better to put it at eye level rather than on the work bench.I got an old truck bud wheel and some pipe i think ill weld up a nice tall mount ,tall enough so the long havester chains arent on the floor.ill make a nice fluid bath to catch all the coolant .Any ideas for a cheap small pump?Can you slow down the flow of a parts washer pump with out hurting it?

You are right, I have my HF wall mounted but always sit on a bucket while using it to get it to the eye level.

My local shop charges $14 a chain. (16 or 18" bar)

I usually file them myself, but when I hit a rock or imbedded metal objects (nails, barbed wire etc.) I send them in to be brought back in spec...

Y'all have me thinking I'd be better off to ship them somewhere....

14 bucks!? That's almost as much as a new chain!
