Forst ST6P common issues?

[Khriss]

Usually its a surface grinder with a jig to hold the blades at correct angles, used one at one company - bloody old thing with hand feed, a tedious job at best. Hard white grit stones.  K

There is a vast difference in a set that has been sharpened in a chemical bath and balanced than a set that’s been slung on a bench grinder jig... I know what I’d rather have in my machine and a decent sharpener is going to set you back 3k.
Tinny wolf gets what it’s given but I have three sets for the schliesing as you have to adjust the clearance for the anvil so it’s easier to buy 3 sets and reset every 3 sharpens.

Interesting stuff. I imagine they just use a planer blade sharpener, they usually have a 600mm bed so you can run both at the same time.

Like you say, not worth it financially.

Surface grinder - there is about a ton and a half weight difference. No one should use a bench grinder to sharpen chipper knives  ( at least not my knives  ! ) K

Also a decent surface grinder will have slurry ( cutting fluid ) spraying on the wheel . No over heating .
