Interesting video. I wish I need one of those sharpeners but I’ve only got a couple of circular saws. I like your drop in bench tool system, it makes a lot of sense for tools that you don’t use constantly but need to be firmly fixed down.

[@dmgladden]

Thanks for watching yes I am adding other tools to this system as the shop is getting smaller with every new tool

[@andyevenson6915]

Thanks for this video. Just received one of these sharpeners. After the typical modifications to get the proper arbor size, tighten the shaft where the stop pin is anchored to, I got it to where I could sharpen my first blade. works really well. My next move is to take my angle grinder and grind a bit off the guard and motor housing where the 4th or 5th tooth hit, left of the grinding wheel . My warranty will be void, but my life will be better for it. I know you know what I am saying. Your video helped me a lot to get this grinder tuned and tweaked!

[@dmgladden]

[@dmgladden]

yes Peter as you see i have the same needs and yes this well worth it

[@mememaster147]

If you could make a collet block that fits in the dovetail on that round thing where you mount the saw blades you could sharpen drill bits with this. With the bit pointing down the length of the arm, the angle of the arm dictates the drill point angle and the angle of the cutting disc is the facet angle.

[@dmgladden]

Meme Master yes such a machine van be adapted for a number of other tasks, i do however have a dedicated drill sharpening jig which does me fine but its a good thing to get the most you can out of every tool, thanks for the interesting feedback

[@espenforfen1334]

Thanks for the review, I have purchased one of these, had it for six months and now it's time to set it up. I would like to point out a small thing that is not covered in the video, for other users. The DUST from grinding tungsten is SERIOUSLY DEADLY and should be avoided at all costs. By this I mean you should wear a mask and have a vacuum cleaner set to suck up the dust. But very informative video, lets share the knowledge.

[@dmgladden]

Thanks for the info which i was fully unaware of so i did a bit of research and this was the best result i got: The electrodes themselves present little threat of harmful radiation exposure to personnel. It's the fine airborne dust particulate, released by grinding and tip prep, which pose a threat of radioactive particles entering the body. So if your shop equipment is not properly ventilated it may be out of compliance, putting you at just about as much risk as your smucky coworker who puts the things in his mouth. Personally i have just 3 years ago stopped smoking, i guess ironical

[@espenforfen1334]

Yes ,I actually meant inhaling the fine tungsten dust. As the ingredients of tungsten carbide include Cadmium, Chromium, Cobalt and Nickel, these are all metals used in tungsten carbide brazing and grinding, not a problem in big pieces, very bad as fine particles.. And thanks for the clip on how to set it up!

[@markrainford1219]

hello, thanks for the video I have a similar device and was wondering if all teeth are always sharpened at 0 degrees. So say the long part of the tooth, not the tips. If the long part also has to be sharpened at a certain angle, can you tell that from the data on the saw blade? gr. Arie

Thanks David, very informative- I have a small Sealey sharpener. It's ok. I've been for quite a while, angle sharpening the main flat piece - WRONG and not the top as you demonstrated- That's a big boob on my part - thank you for this Mate 👍🐒

[@ianmoone2359]

Maybe yes & maybe no! When your sharpening cross cut saws as shown here the flat face is sharpened at flat angle 90degrees on each tooth & yes when you have to sharpen the top faces due to chip etc THEN for set you tilt the motor & diamond wheel to the 8 degrees shown here. However, When your sharpening a rip saw rather than a cross cut saw, the faces aren’t flat 90 degrees, they have an alternate bevel on them of often 5 degrees, so 85 & 95 degrees on alternate teeth as well as the “set” angle on the tops of the 8 degrees shown here. So “compound” angles for the face meets top. So when you say you we’re doing the flat faces “wrong” we’re you sharpening a cross cut saw blade or a ripping saw blade? Next - as well as marking with permanent marker the tooth you started on, IF you also mark the flat face as well, when you start sharpening that first tooth you can check you have your motor / blade tilt exactly at 90 (or for ripping blades at 85 / 95 degrees by whether all the permanent marker is removed across the entirety of the flat face or whether your a fraction of a degree “out” because it’s removing all the ink on one edge of the flat tooth but leaving a little ink trace on the other (leading or trailing) edge. Now normally on good blades at least, the data on blade diameter, teeth number, arbor size & degree of set hook etc is engraved on the side of the blade or the cardboard packet the blade comes in - to allow you to set up your machine to the original factory specs first go. What I have done is replace the washer that holds the aluminium diamond coated sharpening wheel to the engine drive shaft with a 3 inch flat steel washer! I then use a “wixey” brand digital inclinometer / angle finder, (about $45 on evil bay) and with Machine unplugged attach its magnetic face to the washer, which allows you to set the tilt to 1/10th of a degree increments, to get it exact! Just zero the gauge off the flat face of the saw blade when clamped onto the cast iron cross feed slide, then attach it to the diamond wheel bye it’s magnetic face & adjust the tilt to exactly what you want! You can then match factory specs first time / tooth every time, and have repeatable accuracy just like the saw doctor does with his fancy automated CNC blade sharpener! The ink test allows you to confirm visually on the first tooth that you got it exactly right! Just a couple handy tips for the newbys! 👍

[@stevenmoore7334]

@@ianmoone2359 another thing to add, is safety, a respirator is a must as carbide dust isn't good for you

[@rmendes2mendes915]

one thing you were doing wrong during sharpening is I noticed when you put the tooth against the sharpening wheel you were sliding it forward and back which I understand to evenly wear the wheel but when you were done sharpening you were just sliding the blade back and off the wheel while the blade was still in contact with the sharpening wheel. this could cause the tip of the saw blade to pass over the edge of the sharpening wheel. when done sharpening you should back the blade away from the wheel before moving the blade back.

[@pushpakumarmadhavan7505]

Good video where l can purchase these machine.

[@dmgladden]

EBay/ China link on other video

[@peterhase1045]

One problem I found with this type of machine is, that doing small blades, their teeth are touching the table in the back, while in the front , where the grinding happens, they overhang the table. This results in the blade being slightly tilted and the teeth scubbing over the table during turning the blade to the next tooth. I fixed the problem for at least the midium sized blades by drilling an tapping another screw hole in the sliding bar, coser to the center of the table. But for the very small blades, this hole would be right in the center, where it cannot be, because of the locking pin and the groove cut inte underside of the slider.

[@dmgladden]

Why not just use a packers between the blade and the table to give clearance just enough to cover to set on the teeth

[@saaid000]

hello, Thank you very much for your tips. I've just bought a machine similar to yours and I'm sure i would have ruined a couple of blades before getting the hang of it and it is really simple and fast with good result once you know what you're doing. Thank you

Your very welcome I'm glad I could help.

[@francisgonsalves4033]

Fantastic presentation, the first of it's kind I've seen. However I have been led to believe the sides are to be sharpened too. Could you kindly eloberate on that?

[@dmgladden]

Francis Gonsalves no if you sharpen the side you change the size of the blade just clean the side you may some times need to top them but never the sides

[@jimbo2629]

My saw blades are 315mm diameter the same as you showWhen I set the rake angle the blade fouls on the motor case. Maybe my blade has an excessive rake angle. It’s 32 teeth. It was the one supplied with the saw by Sedgwick. Also my blades need the motor tilted to sharpen the tooth.

[@dmgladden]

You must have something set wrong or the machines set up wrong as you should have no trouble with that size of blade but without seeing you do it I can't work out what is really going on sorry

[@jimbo2629]

Thanks for the reply. You seemed to have had the same problem at 17.20 ish. The cutter only projects a little bit more than the motor diameter and it’s support piece. This doesn’t matter on smaller blades. I am loath to take the file and hacksaw to it to improve clearance. I can’t find a 130mm dia disc but I have ordered a 125mm dished cutter. It might work. Meanwhile I sharpened with a lesser angle. I find Chinese machinery always has one major design consideration to overcome.

[@dmgladden]

@@jimbo2629 yes it looks that way but it did fit just the camera angle however I understand what you are saying now but I must say I don't have that problem with any of my blades and they have all been through this machine now, so I haven't had tho think of a way around this problem but I agree that's one of the drawbacks of Chinese tools. Good luck and let me know how you overcome it once you have. David

[@jimbo2629]

I’ve overcome it by flipping over the cutter disc and the Saw blade. Accommodating the rake is now obtained by angling away from the motor. Problem solved. Another niggle is the play in the dovetail slide which can produce chatter when the tooth touches the cutter. Again it’s worse with larger blades. I plan to shim it to take up the slop. I don’t understand why manufacturers don’t get the size correct. I have come across the same with mitre fence slots on saws.

[@dmgladden]

@@jimbo2629 hi Jim, that sounds like an interesting solution when I next get the machine out I will play with that idea, as for the play I think that is a result of too many companies making the different parts I guess that is why most miter fences have built in shimming systems, but I find that's one of the pleasures of owning tools making them your own, like when we one put a jubilee clip on a Yanky Screwdriver to stop it rolling away it's good to make tools fit us better than they did when new

There are certain positive benefits to edge formation as brittleness caused by thermal expansion is lowered, longer abrasive life and so on, and so on - we can discuss them for days, BUT the main benefit in my eyes is that you scrub most of the dust particulate out of the air you breathe.

[@dmgladden]

clemopcl thanks for the comment but i should mention i hsve done about 30 blades my way so far and they are always very sharp and very clean cutting, but thats just my way your free to do it your way

[@clemopcl]

I meant it primarily for other viewers ;) When someone never did this before and simply copies what he sees here, then he may blunt the teeth even more. BTW I do this in furniture factory. Blades on some big industrial machines (mainly our Holzher 6210 - CUT85) need to be changed more than once a week when there is lot of work. According to records I sharpened 109 times (April-July). Sometimes perfectly hand-sharpened is not enough (esp. with veneer-coated chipboard) and we have them sharpened externally on NC sharpening machines. They also have proper cooling (this technique really overheats the edge, changes the metal structure and makes the sharpness last shorter, not a big problem for hand-tools however), I only have cooling by liquid made by me, using infusion hose with dripping chamber.

You seem to be turning the blade up to the indexing stop while blade is in forward sliding position. I would have thought you should index blade to pin first and then slide forward and back.This way you start cutting with the tip of the wheel first and not just bumping the whole of the face onto the wheel in one go.

Hi I have the same machine like you had to clean and debur. The only problem I have is with the blade tightening as I turn to sharpen. Are you having the same problem?

[@dmgladden]

yes as you will notice in my video i am constantly tightening the blade but i don't mind as i can guess what would be needed to avoid it as the blade would be pressing down too hard to the base which would first stop it turning and if it did tune the teeth would be catching on the cast iron' if you shim it to give space but that would create other problems

[@dmgladden]

[@carlkellogg5342]

Hi David. You might want to pass on the blade tightening problem can be solved by using a spring between the blade hold down cup and the knob. This will require adding a longer bolt. Worked great for me. Also the lack of a 5/8 blade round washer can be solved by taking the 3/4 in. one and running a bolt in it and chucking it in a drill press and using a stone or wheel off a bench grinder and turning the 3/4 in. round nut down to 5/8. That is how I solved the problem. I have never come across a 3/4 in arbor so had no use for that round nut. Also the slider the blade runs back and forth on had 5 thousands slop in it so I used 4 thousands brass shim and super glue it to the the slider and it works great now. Great videos.

tengo una maquina igual , y funciona muy bien, a excepción de los grados Gº de inclinación del motor , algunas sierras circulares tienen dientes en punta flecha que llevan filo de las dos caras a 30º de inclinacion. y la maquina inclina bien para un lado ,pero para el lado del motor no llega porque toca en la base, y ahí el problema. pero igual es económica y trabaja bien.

[@FeerRios]

donde lo compraste ? tienes la informacion , la verdad me interesa !!

[@garyhathaway6316]

Thanks for attempting to answer but you apparently got confused and thought you answered but didn't. Could you check the first comment and try again. Sorry for being such a pest but I need some help.

[@joglo3]

I have a thirty year old workshop here in Spain that's loaded with tools, many of them electrical, none with earth pins. No problem. I also have a box full of 13 A plugs, sockets and extensions that anyone is welcome to have. As for the sharpening tool, it's a waste of space.

[@dmgladden]

Earthling good to see luck is on your side for now, just be sure to stick to the double insulated tools or battery ones any you will stay lucky thanks for your views

Good call on cutting off the plug and hard wire to local code plug, it ain't going anywhere.

[@markgish6002]

If you blade, make shavings after you sharpen it than you know the teeth are sharp.

[@usermanojmanoj]

[@jeanfrancoishache]

there must be a place that have those "centering arbor" adapters.. does anybody knows? looking for 5/8 and 1"

[@ElationProductions]

I just bought one of these machines, and was indeed surprised to find the 5/8" arbor wasn't included. Such a common size for saw blades but not included. I made one myself on my lathe. Otherwise I don't know where you might find any part that would provide a 5/8" arbor to go onto a 8mm thread.

[@josephallandoucette5671]

jean hache where can these sharpeners be bought

[@husanawan8947]

What a price

[@whitevanman8703]

Hi Dave Mine has arrived so I am just watching your video again as the instructions don't instruct you in anything at all. Firstly it appears that you are not using the stop pin and I was wondering why, and secondly I am reluctant to use the sharpener on blades covered in heavy resin. My cleaning method is simple, leave them overnight in vinegar (Tesco's cheap distilled vinegar not the wife's expensive gourmet vinegar) but what happens if you are in a hurry? Will it clog up the diamond blade with resin? Thirdly it appears that your blade has a slight nick in it, does it affect the performance and how did the nick happen? Mine arrived with the blade so badly broken that I had to get them to send another, it broke because the packing in the box was terrible. Many thanks.

[@whitevanman8703]

Wrong again, I can see you are using the stop pin.

[@dmgladden]

WhiteVanMan hi sorry missed this comment, first yes I did use the stop pin at first but now I'm use to it I don't want more, as for cleaning I have a video on that but it won't bother the Disc I never clean first and many time I don't clean at all it depends on what saw the blade is for, finally my blade did have a small chip but then it broke completely so was replaced now all is good, hope your enjoying the machine

[@dmgladden]

WhiteVanMan i do a hard copy dvd for just £15.99 if it would help

WASTE OF MONEY, I USE A TILE SAW, WORKS AWESOME. USE PAIR OF DOOR SLIDER AND THE ANGLE IS ON THE SAW ITSELF UNDER 50 BUCKS A PLUS IN MY EYES

[@dmgladden]

what ever well done it sounds good,

[@wolf9174]

Make a video that we could see.

[@bunsdad4530]

The tile saw blades sharpen blades that are going to be used on wood sort of fine. However; you need a smooth edge if you are going to sharpen a blade that will be used on metal. They just don't make tile saw blades at a fine enough grain. Great job on this video.

[@furld002]

Why is this sharpener not up too snuff? why the tile saw something better. Please show us how it works. Don

[@georgeEPC]

no stop guide? Not impressed at all

[@dmgladden]

georgeEPC there is one fitted but I find I don't need it the Travis stop is adequate to stop you hitting the gullet when doing the face or over grinding when topping as for over grinding when doing the face I find with practice you don't need help
