DIY sharpening chipper blades?!

[jnoon]

Oh mid Devon a bit far

Need to find one a bit closer

I know one of the chaps at Highline, he could give a suggestion?

Please

I saw this thread and thought of this video.

 

Now, ignoring the actual building the sharpening station (unless you need one ) there is some really useful info on wet sharpening chisels, knives etc which may be of use with regards to sharpening chipper blades.

 

Good luck

The link doesn’t seem to work for me.....

All I can say is that the angles seem fairly critical, even the ‘back angle’ needs to be right for the best performance..

I have one of the grinders. Never sharpened chipper blades on mine as mainly used for chisels and plane blades. They are not especially fast but leaves a great edge.

does it go down the 5 degrees needed for cs100 blades?

5 degrees for a blade? You sure as thats way finer than any edge I have ever seen on any machine blade.

The five degrees is the back angle..
