Ballpark is $26,000, there are a few options to make it cleaner or faster that can add to the price. In the local Stihl dealership they love it, in 6 minutes it will do a chain nicely unattended and a light on top signals when it is time to stick a new chain on it. The machine is in the middle of the 2 cycle area of the shop and which ever tech sees it first swaps chains and goes back to whatever he was doing. It runs 8 hours a day with minimal maintenance, and they are able to keep the wait time for drop off chains usually in the 2-3 day timeframe. They can slip an emergency chain into the que if needed. Many tree services drop off 100 or more at a time and get special pricing. They could not hire an additional tech for a year for $26K, even before benefits, taxes, etc. They love it. #Post#: 87241-------------------------------------------------- Re: Franzen chain grinder By: 3000 FPS Date: October 9, 2020, 11:21 am --------------------------------------------------------- That some kind of machine. I guess I will stick with my good ole Oregon grinder. #Post#: 87242-------------------------------------------------- Re: Franzen chain grinder By: Cut4fun Date: October 10, 2020, 6:17 am --------------------------------------------------------- Stihl dealer in CRG said they were $18,000 new. I was told 15K years back. If those 44"-60" come here. I told him going up to him. So mise well send them himself. I hate doing longer chain and bulk of them at that. #Post#: 90229-------------------------------------------------- Re: Franzen chain grinder By: Chainsawrepair Date: September 29, 2023, 10:15 am --------------------------------------------------------- Local just north of me does chain only local and online. His old shop and wiring could only take 5 franzen running and had more waiting. Now his new shop almost done he is running 8 with 2 more coming.
