Stump grinder teeth sharpening

[ChunksBigBro]

Hi guys,

 

im sorry if this has been asked before! Does anyone know of any firm that sharpens stump grinder teeth, we get through thousands of new ones!

Get a decent bench grinder and a green wheel then do your own.

 

But buy a decent respirator, and do it outside with a blower set up to move the dust away.

I've moved away from them now Mick and it's the best decision ever!

I now have a heavy duty 450W Bench Grinder (Sealey Tools) which has a coarse standard wheel on one side and one of these on the other!

This company sells both as a package along with the grinder. The diamond wheel is a real game changer! Sharpens teeth like razors and seems to last forever. However, the only dust you get is from the metal (which is still hazardous) but much cleaner than the Green wheel which I would never use again. Yes, the diamond wheel is pricey, but it pays for itself with a set of teeth pretty much and lasts 20 times longer than a green wheel! Do the maths on that along with the added performance and there is no contest!

That is a great shout, thanks, I’ll get one of those.

Those disks definitely look worth trying as the genuine disks from greenteck are more expensive and I've had one shatter. Just need to work out what size for 900's

How does anyone get on sharpening  the rhino teeth. I have green teeth on one grinder and rhino on the other. 

 

Cheers in advance,

Did you get one Mick?

[Mick Dempsey]

No I didn’t, too lazy, I have loads of teeth atm and never got round to it.

 

Still got the link though

I tried the green wheel, didn't really find it economical, plus all the dust. I now have gone back to an angle grinder but instead of using it free hand with the teeth in a vice, I now put the grinder in the vice with the disc horizontally, then grind the tooth. I've done around 50 in the past week or so, ones I would usually sling. The yellow jacket teeth are fine to do as they are flat, lot easier than trying to sharpen multi tip. I can now change the teeth over much more frequently rather than hanging on getting as much possible use out of brand new ones. Definitely worth a go.

Should have said I use the diamond disc in the angle grinder.
