I thank you for this video. I just sharpened eight blades utilizing your method and was immediately successful. I already owned a chainsaw sharpener and just had to remove the tooth stop in order to use it for this. I really did not want to spend the $700 to $1200 for a sharpener and thought of using my chainsaw sharpener...checked online and your video is the only one I could find in which this was done. Thanks again.

I have used this exact setup now for a while and can say my own sharpened blades cut as good or even better than the new ones. Great idea !!!

Thanks. I ordered my grinder after watching your video. My nearest Princess Auto is 800 km away in Prince George BC. I ordered it Thursday afternoon and it was on my door step Friday morning. 👍😊

This unit is on its sale price of $89. at Princess Auto Feb 2. to Feb. 19 , 2021. I had purchased this grinder before i saw this video, but your explanation really helped. The grinder is mounted on a 4ft. by 4ft. piece of plywood. The blade is supported in 6 places with 3 inch high blocks of 2*4 leftovers. I used two five inch, left over, lawnmower wheels as bandsaw guides (left side and right side) and salvaged bearings from hard disk drives as support on the opposite side of the grinder as support for the blade. The blade layout is about the same as in your picture, but supported. It rolls very easily. I was able to sharpen the blade in less than 10 minutes. Your video helped me a lot.I hope this improvement helps you. The plywood setup is on a patio table and can easily be stored away against a wall.

Your correct about which side to grind on and about deepening the gullet. I was a saw sharpener for a few years and that is exactly how we sharpen the saws for a manufacturer.

Good vid. Look forward to more content as your able. Thank you for the vids.

Excellent. I think I'll get another chainsaw sharpener just for the mill. I use this same sharpener all the time for my chainsaws and don't want to change settings each time for the mill. One word of advice : blow off your wet blade guides after every miling session with air to avoid that rust spot and avoid pitting which results in premature blade cracks. 👍😎👌

Thanks for the video Sir. I have a 10” WEN that is 2 years old. Original blade but doesn’t get used a lot at all. All at once it has started cutting sideways terribly bad. If I pushed it to cut 2 inches in length it would break the blade because it has already gotten so sideways. I tried adjusting the top wheel. Didn’t help. I noticed the blade was coated in what I thought was sap. I cleaned it with gasoline and got it spotless. Didn’t help. I tried to remember what the last thing I cut was and I remembered cutting a small piece of firewood and also cutting some plastic. I finally decided one of the 2 had dulled my blade. I looked closely at the blade and it made sense to me that it was dull. This is why. The blade is a wood cutting blade. I would say 50% aggressive. Sorry but I know nothing about these blades except wood cutting from metal cutting. The blade has one tooth sticking to the side and the next 2 teeth are straight. This pattern is all the way around the blade. I thought it would be tooth left, tooth right, tooth left, tooth right all the way around. But its not. So I am unsure how to sharpen it because of the pattern. If it was left, right, left, right I understand you would sharpen this one filing left and the next right etc.And the reason I say it made since to me that it was dull is because it cuts in the direction every 3rd slanted tooth is pointing. Every 3rd tooth is slanted to the right and thats the way it cuts severely. If you Sir, or anyone who might read this could give me some insight or enlighten I would be very thankful. Thanks again Friends!!

Very well done!

thanks for the useful info. I happen to have an oregon chainsaw sharpening machine. I think I will give this a try. If I can get it to work, it will save me a fortune on a bandsaw sharpening machine, and the hassle/expense of taking the bands in for sharpening.What do you use for setting the teeth?

Butchers wax on the faces and base of the clamp would help the blade slide easier. It may not jump as much as you slide it forward because it would have far less resistance. Great job!

wow thank you i will check it out

Great sharpener

Thanks!

Thanks for this video. I don't mill much and was not too excited to shell out 1000 for a auto sharpener. I'll try this first, I ordered one from Princes auto... I think this will do me just fine. It sharpens and you see no difference with a paid sharpening. I'm down on PEI. Appreciated your honesty. If it works and the blade cuts well again good enough for me. Appreciated.

Looks great! Happy new year to you and family.

Great tip - Thanks mate.

No tooth indexing?

Thank i will get one for my diy sawmil sgt rod

Can also just do it on your normal bench grinder by hand holding the teeth to the side of stone one after another get into a good routine about 10 min per blade.

Thank you. That was helpful

Thanks, good deal.

Ive had a look on Princess Auto and can you show me what angle grinder this is? I see the adjustment bench but no actual grinder? Whats the model number?
