Your blade sharpener and gummer set up is the same as we used in shake mills. We cut cedar into cordwood lengths and then made three quarters of a inch boards with a splitting machine that would just rattle them off in like stacks of what was comfortable for the sawyer to pick off the conveyor where he would pick each one up and guide it into the saw blade and start on one side and finish on the other leaving the spilt board to be sawn into on the inside of each board making it able to lay flat on a roof and shed water hence shakes for peoples roofs. I used to do everyone of the sawyers blades for them keeping blades uniform in sharpness and usable on any shake saw in the mill. Different people do blades differently and subsequently blades that handle differently on the saw it is on. A person who is green in this area or lazy can get a good sawyer cut badly as I can attest to as I would shuttle them to a doctor to see if the fingers can be reattached or they are just going to be missing. I personally know how it feels to cut a finger off and get it reattached to me... one finger has been reattached two times and is still quite numb to this day forty years later. Nice job showing people what goes on Sandy

Hi Sandy, I've enjoyed many of your videos. My HM130 max is ordered and on it's way. I ordered many accessories to go with it including a ten pack of blades. I've had a hard time deciding about the sharpener. I didn't order it with the mill as the almost $1k for the sharpener and tool setter is a bit much for wallet at the moment. While I love the idea of being self sufficient and being able to sharpen my own blades I have to ask is it worth it? I'm obviously new to sawmilling and I don't know quite a bit. At $25 per blade it takes 40 blades to equal $1k. How long would it take to go through 40 blades? Any info you can give would be helpful, thanks.
@sawingwithsandy2 жыл бұрын
Hey Brent! Thanks for watching the channel all this time. I had the same hard decision you did an it took me about a year of sawing for me to decide that it was worth the cost to buy the sharpener as I found the convenience was worth it for me. I don't have anyone near me that sharpens blades and I was finding it expensive to have to buy new blades especially on those days where I'd dull two blades inadvertaintly by hitting a nail or dirt or something. Now that I've got the sharpener I find I"m not buying blades hardly at all and so the ability to simply touch up the saw blades and get back to sharpening without having to order and wait for delivery is nice.
@brentt6752 жыл бұрын
