Rayco Super teeth Help!

[Treeman123]

Hi Everyone

 

I have recently bought a Rayco rg series 2. I have a rough idea how to sharpen the teeth, I have a normal grinder and a diamond grinder for the angle grinder. Does anyone have these teeth and can explain what shape they have to be? or even better have a photo or two? any help would be great!

 

Thanks

As far as I'm aware you have to try to replicate the new teeth, ie a flat bottom and a right or sharp angle to the side of the tungsten.

Personally, it's too much like hard work, I just buy new ones!

I don't know how u afford it mountain man!! There bloody dear them super teeth! I grind them right down

I just find it really hard work, for little reward.

 

You're making me feel guilty now, maybe I'll have another go at it!

Ps Saturn Machine knives are cheaper I think.

Yeah Saturn knives are best so far that I've found! I just give mine a a quick rub up after every little job!! Never let them get really bad!!

Does nobody braze on new tips?

I found by grinding them down you alter the distance they stick out and change the performance of the machine tremendously,

I used to be able to re braze a set of 24 teeth in the time it took for the misses to cook the tea.

If you buy the tips in the states you can get them for under a pound a piece.

 

I ran ran two grinders one 66 hp and one 25 hp five days a week for seven years I can't imagine just useing them and buying new when they are blunt.

I had a go sharpening them, found it pretty hard. Do you take your off or do it when there still on?

That's a good shout, I'll look into that.
