Sharpening Stump Teeth

[TREE-SURGEON-ESSEX]

Does any one have and experience using a diamond cutting wheel or similar tool for sharpening blunt finger teeth ???>

For all stump grinder teeth keeping them sharp is a definite advantage and especially for pedestrian grinders, the easiest way of achieving this is by using the diamond attachment for angle grinders and sharper either on or off the machine, £40.00 ish

 

Please be aware that ppe is a must for this I have had the small triangles of diamond come off the blade and stick into my face!

 

Greenwheel grind stones for bench grinders possibly being the next option and if you do a lot then look at diamond grind stone for bench grinder .

Hi there, you can get a diamond disc on a next day delivery from Saturn machine knives Ltd

Saturn Machine Knives Limited

 

Ask to speak to Will in sales, the price is £45 inc postage

 

The disc will do several thousand teeth

Ive never used the dimmond tip before so keen to follow this thread. I use the green stone on a bench grinder. If the teeth hits something hard and gets blunted bad it wares a good bit off the stone to re sharpen. The stones are about £40 so it works out pretty expensive if your using the grinder regularly, so the dimmond tip could be a better option.

 

My larger main grinder is fitted with green teeth and I find them easer to turn the teeth to sharper edge quickly on site and dont have the same problem with constantly braking the finger teeth.

i have had a couple of the diamond discs. the first one was single sided and wore out after a while. i have just bought one off saturn machine knives and its double sided and is working well. im thinking of getting a battery powered angle grinder so i can take it on jobs coz sometimes the teeth go blunt on the job. my advice is buy one.

I have an RG13 stumpy and the guys had problems locking the wheel to be able to sharpen with the diamond wheel.

 

Any ideas... perhaps I need to just do it myself!

Have used the diamond disc from saturn for a couple of years now.

Works a treat!..it now goes out with the stump grinder on every job along with a small generator to power the angle grinder.

Keeping the grinder sharp at all times means less wear and tear on the stumpie ie: belts wearing out. wouldn't be without it:thumbup:

Anyone fancy doing a little 'how to' sharpen the finger teeth? We've got a SG13 and I have no idea how to sharpen the teeth.

Well just ordered one you never know till you try so ill post my findings.

 

I have about 25 sets of lightly to medium blunt teeth so ill see how many sets can be sharpened to a decent amount.

 

 

oh an paid £55 plus vat so ill weigh up cost vs buying new teeth ?.

Have you tried a green wheel for the bench grinder? Genuine Rayco teeth are only £2.70 - £ 3.00
