Excessive sharpening.

[Mark Bolam]

Pic is of two blades (different sets) I received with my new TW125 last year.

 

Whilst chipping was still OK with the first set, the chip quality began to suffer, so I rotated the blades at around 13hours.

 

I have just had the first set re-ground (hollow) by a local well respected firm, who were initially going to flat grind them.

 

The re-ground blade is on the right.

 

They were no more worn than the second set I have just taken out, on the left.

 

Have I got grounds to ask them for a new set of blades? They seem to have taken off about 6 sharpens worth in one hit!

 

Both blades are the same, and neither was excessively damaged or worn, as I am pretty anal about running sharp blades to lessen stress on my cracking little machine.

 

Any comments appreciated.

Far too much off, Only take the damage off and its happy days, No need to go that far

 

Although id guess you'd be very lucky to get a new set out of them

[Dean Lofthouse]

Amatures Mark. take them elsewhere

[bob]

are they yours

i have heard of folk getting a set back rather than their own

my golf club do mine:biggrin:

[jonathan hall]

have you thought about going back to them and saying, 'think you must have given me someone elses blades, these are way too ground down'. see what they say.

perhaps work marking them so you know you are getting your ones back too.

[treediver]

Take them back and vent your spleen. I think there taking the mick or given you a wrong set.

If you ground your own, judging by the condition on the right one you could have them sharpened in few minutes using a norton3x wheel.

[jaime bray]

whats a norton 3x wheel thought they had to be round ground, at least liquid ground, or is this just supplier myth

Looks like you got the wrong set mate wonder if it's an idea to get them engraved might do it myself incase this happens to me some lucky bugger got some better blades by the look of things
