Chipper blade sharpening

[Dean Lofthouse]

Thanks for that Rob, much appreciated.

 

I have been looking at getting one with coolant feed for a while now and prefreably with auto feed, but there aren't many small ones out there that will fit happily in my small workshop

Some small ones here not cheap though!

 

Earn 90 cents on the dollar sharpening saws and tools on the AV-40 Carbide Saw and Tool Grinder.

Nice little unit that Mesterh, notice how the head is slightly on the cock so it grinds on the edge of the wheel giving the hollow grind profile.

 

Good price though

[Mesterh]

Aye is a bit pricey, might not have been tooooo bad when the pound was nice and strong but now

 

I bet with a windscreen motor(automatic bad movement) a good bench grinder (machine marts bestest ) and a bit of welding I could knock one together

anyone interested in making a sensible offer for this blade sharpener

[Dean Lofthouse]

If I have it right it's only any good for single side blades and the blades slides on the plate, the plate doesn't move

your right again dean

although did a double sided one ages ago and just sat it on a nice bit of planed hardwood and did not cause any problemo

maybe not ideal but did the job

Father- in laws a joiner. Never paid to sharpen TW blades in the last 4 years. Attached in front of grinder he has a jig which is commonly available to wood turners etc. Blade sits on top of jig and is moved back and forth until across wheel. Works for me. Never had a problem with the chipper yet. Always make sure both blades are equally ground to same size.

 

Jig costs about £50/70
