Oddly Satisfying | Sawmill Blade Sharpening Made Easy

The sparks are flying in the shop today. Good thing I've put the gas cans away! Welcome back to Sawing with Sandy as I"m going about my routine repairing my sawmill blades with a quick set and sharpening. WIth the amount of sawing that I do I end up dulling blades regularly from use and so I like to bring that back into shape with my Woodland Mills tooth setter and blade sharpener. The two pieces of equipment are relatively basic machines with a slight learning curve to start things off during setup. Once the equipment is setup you'll see just how fast it is to get blades sharpened up to the point where they can go right back onto the sawmill. This method of setting and sharpening my own blades has saved me time over the years and allowed me to not have to ship out my sawmill blades for sharpening. With shipping times varying and no real local sharpening companies near me, having the ability to fine-tune my sawmill blades with my Grindlux 4000 is a real convenience. Well, let's get back to it! Thanks for watching everyone.

Note: I typically set the profile of the grinding stone on the sharpener so that the curved edge of the stone faces away from the face of the tooth. In the video I had the grinding stone guide setup backwards by mistake (see your owners manual for details)

Now I think i figured out what those 1 1/2 planks are going to be for that you were sawing at the mill the other day. The only concern I have about the balcony is will it be in the way of your tractor when you bring it in the shop. It hard to get a height perspective watching the different shop videos you have. Sounds like a plan to me. Can't wait to see it. I'm still thrashing over getting or not getting the setter and sharpener, I'm getting quite a bit old blades piling up I'm thinking it would pay for it's self pretty quick. But it's still a lot of money. Kinda kicking myself for not getting it when I got my mill.

This question is off topic, but I'm trying to decide whether to buy a mill and if so which one. My scenario is similar to yours in that I want to mill wood on my own property to build things (my house, outbuildings, etc.). The mill you have isn't a woodmizer or a norwood (the two that seem to be the most popular/common). What made you choose yours over the other options available to you? Since you already have yours you may not be up on the current portable mill situation, but if you are would you make a different choice now and why? I'm learning a LOT from you on your channel and would greatly appreciate your feedback. Many thanks from Oregon, USA.

Took me a min to figure out what was happening. I think you are reading how much you bend the tooth, and not how much set is in the tooth. To read the set in the tooth you just have to barely touch the plunger and the set screw to the blade, then take the reading. When those two things touch your blade that reading is your "set". I think you are reading the "bend" in each blade. The other thing i did not see (but i am sure you are doing it) was how to "zero" the tooth setter. Don't forget to do that every time before you start sharping for the day. Nice video, you always do so much better than my videos. Good luck, and i am just trying to help with the tooth setter remarks. Love the channel, hope the snow is not to deep up there !

Sandy, I built a dual tooth setter and most of the research stated the set should be around 0.02 inch. I just checked out woodland Mills tooth setter and their manual says to set the teeth at 0.0215 inch which is 0.5461 mm from the blade top or bottom surface. Are you sure your manual says what you stated? It seems to be almost double the amount of set. Maybe the amount of set is taken from a different way/surface.

Hi Mike. Great point you brought up. In my manual it says to achieve a final set of 0.55mm on the tooth to bend it initially to 1.2mm and then after the tooth springs back it will get the final set of 0.55mm. I may have not mentioned that entirely in the video. Appreciate you mentioning it

My sharpener has come out of synchronization. The wheel just sharpens the front of the tooth and not the gullet. Just goes straight up and down. Where would I adjust it to make the arm advance the blade while the wheel is still in contact with blade? I have tried the little pocket the acorn nut sits in for the wheel, but no difference. I’m suspecting it has become jarred and the timing between the advancement arm and wheel is off. Any suggestions?

Forget about this, I discovered the problem - battery hooked up backwards. Good thing this account is under my wife’s name. Signed Brain Fart.

I've only ever used the Lenox blades. I've only ever used the 7/8" pitch as I mostly cut softwood.

Woodland mills used to sell Lenox blades. I’m not sure if that’s the brand just relabeled as Wodoland Mills blades now though

@@sawingwithsandy i have called them they recomand using the same size blade. Not a good ide to get biger blade. I saw the ripper 37 that claim to be 37% stronger or a guys that i know use the montfort blade, he told me they are mutch bether then the one he used to by from northwood. He run a northwood mill. At this point i know nothin about blade so i'll probably by a pack of 10 from woodland when we order the mill.

i used to try to sharpen my blade by hand and no setter it did not work that great but it did help some now i just use the blade to the extreme and scrap it i pay 22 to 24 per blade when you buy 15 or more at the time since i am not set up for sharpening i found it not worth my time As far of the shelving goes if you put them against the wall not all but some area put one at 6 feet high and another higher at 8 on other walls only the 8 feet one but don't make your shelf's to deep other wise you will hand up with stuff in the back and won't be able to find things any more so make your shelf for the dept of what you are going to put on that shelf have a great day

I know what ya mean about the value of a setter and sharpener. Lots to consider. I also like the shelf idea

@PriceRegie 2 жыл бұрын

I just bought 10 blades for $176.11. I can't justify the cost of a sharpener and a setter. Would love to find a place to recycle my old blades.

Sandy do you set the teeth every time you sharpen.

@sawingwithsandy 2 жыл бұрын

Not every time. But I’d say if it has noticeable grooves in the lumber then I do

Not sure if you know but putting a battery on concrete is bad for the battery as concrete is a major drain on batteries and tends to cause plates to deteriorate fast, putting a piece of wood under the battery helps a lot but the higher up off concrete the longer the battery will last
