Where Di you have your chipper blades sharpened ?

We post ours to spectrum plant, always quick and reliable and you get a free packet of sweets with the sharp blades ;-)

My advice is get your own sharpener, you can sharpen a pair of blades quicker than you could wrap them up and post them.

What would I need to get bob

Good bench grinder and a jig. I've sharpened mine for the last 12 years. Father in law is a joiner and had a good grinder and jig. TW blades.

As Dave has done Richie or one of those Tormek whetstone grinders, I am not sure which model but a few of the lads on here have them with a fixture for doing chipper blades.

 

Mine is an old mower grinder I converted, has an adjustable sweep of about a metre so can do big or small blades. It can do six pairs of TW 150 blades at a time

Can you grind curved tw blades on home grinders?

The head rotates on that old clunker so you can use the radius to sharpen and not the flat of the stone, so yes it can do both and I would imagine if the right fixture was made you could do the same on the Tormek or dry bench grinders. A fair bit of debate on this curved vs straight and whether or not it makes any difference.

GreenMech sell their own blade grinder which uses the radius rather than the flat. See it on YouTube! There are many firms that sharpen blades, my old outfit had a quality Ag engineer on the doorstep, J L George and Son at Long Whatton, who did both flat and disc blades as well as our lorry bodies and sundry other stuff!

I'll put my hand up and say that Saturn are hopeless too. Recently ordered new blades, after two months of ringing every week and being fobbed off I cancelled my order. The guy on phone couldn't give a toss about it. Will never use them again, expect they will get where they are going!
