I love your videos. I wait with anticipation for new all the time. So easy to follow. Easy to understand. And the outtakes at the end give it a humble human Factor that makes it relatable. I appreciate you

As always, a great video - thanks for sharing. “Flat head screws and some sawdust”… I love it!!

Yep I found this to be both... thanks for bringing this to my attention. I had seen a flimsy one on another video. I have a ShopSmith Mark 5 that has a 1" & 1/4 dia. arbor hole. so have not been able to sharpen it.

Your narration and small references always crack me up.... it's never a DULL moment when watching your videos.

I have bought this machine because between a friend and myself there are plenty of blades to sharpen. But the directions on putting it together were lousy then I went to see if there was something on youtube to explain it step by step an there wasn't . But watching your video and seeing how the machine was put together helped me to put mine together. Thanks for putting up this video, it was a great help and your explanation on how to sharpen them was great also.. Now to sharpen some blades .......................................................................................

Thank you very much. I've ordered the machine here in Germany and now the blades are sharpened in no time. It is not just the money as you said, you have to go to he shop and then wait a week. Keep up the good videos.

I’m a ~95% hand tool only shop, but I always enjoy your content. This winter when I went through my subscriptions to do “some clean-up”, your channel was a no-brainer to keep even if it falls outside my primary use and interest. Thank brother, keep it up. 👍

I know as a content creator it must at times be difficult to come up with your next idea 💡 for us. You are always original or have a refreshing new take on a old idea... This falls into the realm of why hasn't anyone done this video topic this well yet! Really enjoyed this and inspired more than I expected. Need to steal all my neighbors dull blades and get one!

Thank You, You are the only one that made a tutorial the made sense. Just subscribed, very concise and right to the point. Best, Fred

This absolutely seems essential to every workshop!

very good video. Clear, concise and great editing.

As always very informative and great video. Thank you Drew for sharing.

Great video! You really explained it well. And you will save a ton over the years on sharpening and probably have less frustration with your woodworking because of sharp blades.

Thank you for sharing. Sharpening tools is complementary job that require same attention as the any trade itself.

VOCE É SUPER PROFISSIONAL, SÓ MAQUINAS DE PRIMEIRA,PARABÉNS.

This should be considered a 'must have' tool for any woodworkers shop. I bought a Harbor Freight model ($55.00) and yea... it's Harbor Freight quality. I took it apart, modified a few critical components to suit my needs - AND - it does a stellar job! As for blade cleaning, I use the wife's liquid laundry detergent and put the blade in an old cookie sheet. Let it soak a while and use a toothbrush, and it comes out as clean as new.

Very practical and helpful, I'm ordering one from the link. I really appreciate the thorough evaluation.

nice video Drew, You always make me smile, was having a not so great day, its better now after your video, Thanks man, your a blessing!

I just joined this channel. It was accidental. You have a well-equipped workshop, I have never seen. congratulations

Oh boy.....you got a new toy! Looks like it does a great job and would be well worth the investment for anyone who needs a lot of blades sharpened. Thanks for the tool review/demo!

I bought this sharpener and the instructions left a lot to be desired. This video is awesome, I had it set up and working in a few inutes.

You always a pleasure to watch And re-sharpening is a great money saver also a lot of fun and very rewarding. Thanks for sharing

Another great video! I have a handful of circular blades and have though about sharpening myself. Thank you

Subscribed not only because of the video, but the little humour in between :) Like it!

Lookin sharp!!! That is such a cool machine...I couldn't quite picture how it would work from listening, but now I get it and what a cleaver design!

My wife’s just bought me one It’s good spent the whole day sharpening Im hooked Cheers mate

Educational, entertaining, and enjoyable.

Really fantastic machine, Drew! 😃 Thanks for all the tips!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

Good info. Great humour.

When I was a janitor, the LA’s totally awesome was our secret weapon - it always got any oily residue or grossness off when nothing else would cut through! It’s amazing on greasy cabinets (especially over the stovetop) in your kitchen! -Davis

I found this video quite interesting and informative. I always wondered how one would go about sharpening circular saw blades. Also, I thought it was quite a nice touch at the end of your video as you walked out your shop and turned off the lights. 👌

Sweet video as always. Thanks taking the time to explain this machine it will help in any furture decisions I make on whether is is worth getting one or not.

Enjoyed the humor.

Nice work

Great vid!

Wow! Very cool

Nicely done thank you

amazing!

Excellent demonstration, I enjoyed the video. Then I ordered the same machine. Thanks again

Great video

As a guy that spent 18 years in a sawmill filing room repairing and sharpening saws I watched this with interest. To truly get a blade 100% sharp you should sharpen the top of the teeth as well. We did this every 4th or 5th sharpening on our saws. To clean the blades we used a wire cup wheel on a grinder because there was no coating on our saws. This can remove the coating on home shop blades so care would have to be used. All in all a very good video and the machine looks like it will do 1000s of saws.

Love the outakes 🤣

Best part about that cleaner they sell it at the dollar store use it all the time.

This was fun to watch after hearing all the fuss about it on the podcast. 👍🏻

Love your content ☺️

Awesome man thanks

Thanks for the video. It was very informative. The alternate sharpener you suggested is actually the same model. If you look closely at the pictures, you can see the model number.

Thanks for the awesome information I have a lot

Very nice, not sure how often I'd use it so I'm shipping my blades to your next door neighbor so they'll end up at your place. Looking forward to receiving them back from you sharpened. Have a Jesus filled day everyone Greg in Michigan

Love using Totally Awesome, never had a mess it couldnt deal with. Works great on car interiors as well, used it on a 15 year old car that had kids in the back, never been cleaned fully... seats looked like new after using the stuff..... would have NEVER considered using it on saw blades... like ever.... (oh, its also generally really cheap to get the concentrate at places like dollar general as well, so yay)

Very help full tanks

Good job cleaning

Thanks Drew, always quality educational informed video. Also, you blade sharpening unit already sold out, 🤣😂🤣

My father was a saw and tool sharpener when I was young and had a workshop of HUGE machines that accomplished the same thing. Great to see the process these days

This is a great video and I thank you. When I went to your amazon link, it showed this product was out of stock and was not sure when or if it will be back in stock. I guess other people liked it as well.

thanks

Looks great Drew. I didn't even know I needed one but now I do!

Dish soap and water works great too 😊

Well, even your neighbor runs out of sharp blades eventually... so it's good to know how to sharpen!

I followed the story of this particular video on the podcast. Sorry it turned out the way it did, especially that it is a great one - as always. Hope the video does great on YT.

It was Great, Thanks👍👍👍👏👏👏

I need this Machine

Fantastic. Does the machine have scales so you can repeat specific angles on the axises.

totally time to install a DIY shadow line lamp in your mitre saw too ;) it makes it SO much easier for accurate cutting!

I saw your woven cutting board, very interesting very nice. Then I saw link to this channel click Learn how to sharpen blades at home. Now I don't know what I wanna do more..make a few woven cutting boards or shapen blades.. great work,love your channels.

I liked it, thought you were Sharp and to the Point.

Dude u make the best and funniest videos it needs to be said.. I love the content and always get a good laugh while learning some valuable woodworking skills along the way so thanks Mr Fisher.. I'm only a week away from getting my 1st ever cast iron table saw and I cannot wait. I will get me one of these bad boy Blade sharpeners once I get to using my newest table saw far more. I never realised that the thinner kerf saw blades would cause wobble to the extent that mitre cuts/45 degree cuts, etc could be made to look so bad bcos the kerf of blades were too thin.. It makes sense I suppose but with the narrower blades I used for ripping plywood they would cut so fast but I struggled to get straight cuts for the most part. I guess u could also blame it on the piece of sh#t table saw, sorry bad excuse for a, that I've been using for the past 7/8 months. What?! It is my only saw to date and I'm not long enough in this sweet woodworking game to have any real world experience. I've been improving consistently enough to upgrade my Table saw now. The saw I'm about to get has a beast of a Rip fence too which is a huge change for me. The one I have moves slightly and causes my cuts to look whack.. Shite is the operative word I was looking for Mr Fisher.. LMAO. My apologies for such a long drawn out comment which had no bearing on ur video whatsoever. I apologise again for still typing. Really enjoy ur videos my bro. Keep up the brilliant work. Irish woodworker in the Buildizzin'.. Take it easy pal.

I had just received mine today, watched this video to figure out how to use it. Great video! Although the smallest insert for the blade is a tiny bit too big for my Diablo blades. Don't have a metal lathe either 😩

We just had one of these machines donated to our "Mens Shed", (I guess we had better learn how to use it, and save a whole bunch of money. Great video, Cheers

I want one! I totally don't need one though - I probably get one blade sharpened per year so I'd have a fairly long payback time. Well worth it if you do sharpening as a hobby though.

That cleaner is AWSOME! And cheap from the dollar store. I also use Simple Green BBQ cleaner to clean blades.

Nice work. My only complaint is having to wait a month til the next one. 😎 My son and I love your videos!

"I flipped the album over to side B" - begrudgingly laughing at that one

Great video. very detailed. Have you used it on any high end blade like Forrest, Freud, etc. thanks

dagnabbit , there goes another handful of cash. :-) Should be here tomorrow. Thanks Drew. I have a pile of blades that need sharpening. I added up how much it would cost to have them sharpened plus postage and I realized after sending them out twice I would have spent as much as this sharpener. So I figured I'd give it a go.

Pretty slick machine, and a great demo. I’m assuming that you were able to set the stop pin to the blade itself and not the tooth. Probably not much difference, but if set on the tooth, after grinding however many it takes for the pin to start resting on the ground ones, it’s going to take off more on the rest of the teeth. I guess you could hit the first few again.

God og informerende video. Du har også en god humor 😅. Har selv en slibemaskine og er godt tilfreds. Savklingerne er dog blevet billigere og det skal man lige ha med i sine overvejelser inden man køber den. 👍

@Fisher's Shop: I'm absolutely not kidding about this: I discovered some years ago that *liquid laundry detergent (Gain, Tide, whatever. I use Persil) serves as a (bafflingly-) fantastic blade cleaner.* Same process as you described: submerge (only needs about 5 minutes of soak time), toothbrush, then simply rise with water and pat dry. Resin, burn mark, and even the gym locker room smell falls right off. Not a clue why it works. But I swear on my table saw's life it does. The great part about this is everyone already has this sitting around the house (pretty much guaranteed), it's totally non-toxic, and if you spill any on yourself? Your clothes get CLEANER. Important pro tip: while the solution absolutely IS reusable, same at the one you illustrated, it's really, REALLY important you not pour it back into the starting bottle. My wife didn't talk to me for a week. In my defense: who washes all of their white clothes at ONCE? Also, when you're pouring a normally-sky-blue liquid and it comes out... we'll call it "Space Gray", who shrugs, thinks, "huh. Weird." and _chucks it into the machine with all their white clothes anyway!?_ ...Additional pro tip: The above questions are _not_ the correct response when confronted by ones wife about this matter.)

Totally Awsome $1.00, 20oz bottle at Doller General, it works as good if not better than other blade cleaners for 10x the price. Great on router bits too...

I was really surprised how much cutting power (and torque) this saw had out of the box. I've used other (10" saws) previously and was pretty surprised with the speed and cutting ability of this Dewalt saw.I have bolted mine to a table to minimize movement which I highly recommend.This is a Great saw kzfaq.infoUgkxPeGkHOMe05FySypTOvYumxMn-xi39oRe with a light to see your cutting line (not a laser line).I'd recommend this saw fro anyone looking to upgrade from a 10" miter saw.

Oh wow, what a nice video! This manufacturer should hire you to do some sort of review of their gear or something!

Good video! Do the instructions suggest how to grind a combination blade? I have not found a video on this type! I adapted a tool grinder to have the same functionality of this machine, and even added a second alignment pin on the other side of the wheel for combination blades, figuring that if one is in the deep gullet, the other could still be on a tooth face. However, on a Freud, the back facing protrusion in the deep gullet hits the pin and fouls the position for grinding!!!! A combination blade without this protrusion should work fine ... one pin would be in open space, and the other against a rake face. Any suggestions?

Just FYI, you can find a big bottle of LA’s totally awesome at Dollar Tree. Great stuff!

Very good video. Since this unit does not include a 5/8" bushing, were you able to use the included 15.8mm bushing or did you separately source a 5/8" bushing? The bushing you used for the 10" blade appeared to be a different color from the other bushings.

Great review, thanks. (I use oven cleaner on my blades. (do it outside, the stuff stinks). A few sprays, wait a few min, wipe off. done. Gets off the worst sticky tree resin, whatever,)

Great video as always! Any idea why the blade is angled on one side? I guess I'm supposed to be using the flat side? The lack of instructions for this is horrible so I'm so glad you made a video!

The use of the toothbrush is brilliantly ironic! Probably the first time a toothbrush was used in any workshop to clean, well, teeth.

Great Job Drew! Wanna do mine? Got a bunch that need sharpening

I just watched your video and another suggesting LA totally awesome for blade cleaning. People use your la totally awesome cleaner as a dechrining solution to strip chrome off of parts. Saw blades have chrome in the carbide and sometimes as a coating/plating on the side of the blade. A number of common cleaners seem to strip chrome off in as little as 15-20minutes. Some which have been mentioned as attacking chrome sre LA totally awesome, 409, fantastic, simple green, several purple cleaners, bleach, oven cleaner, etc. Many of these were mentioned on the model cars mag forum. Simple green themselves says a long soak can leach chromium from carbide which I found after someone said it could damage the side coatings on newer blades.

Hi Doug, hope you are well!

Super Helpful - I see the options for a water-cooled sharpener...do you think water is necessary for the home shop sharpener guy doing just a few blades? Yours seemed to do just fine without! ??

I must have missed the shipping address for Fisher's Sharpening somewhere in the video?? I'd be happy to help you feel like you're saving more money by sharpening my saw blades!

Boy did I need that…😂😂

Great video as always. Thanks for the good information and keeping it fun too! Perfect timing because I was looking a sending my blades out for sharpening. All of our local saw shops in my area are gone. I like your solution much better. I managed to find one of these on alibaba and have a question. Did you have to modify the centering spacer for the 5/8" arbor. The smallest centering spacer mine came with is too big. I figured I can mount it to my lathe and get it to size, but thought I'd see if you had a similar issue.

Super awesome video and you're hilarious I'm definitely going to subscribe so now the big question is where can I buy this exact sharpening tool I'm in Canada thank you

I remember when LA totally awesome use to be sold at the dollar tree. Crazy to think its almost 10 bucks now

Do you have build plans or video for your Ridgid Octane circ saw wall mount?

Drew, great video as always. I bought one of these. Was just trying to sharpen a 12" blade with a 1" arbor for [what seems like] hours. Whenever I got it set right,I would turn it 180 degrees and it would not show the same depth of cut. I then realized that the arbor adapters seem to be METRIC! The resultant slop in using the [slightly-less-than] 1" meant that the blade wasn't actually centered on the adapter. Elsewhere, I've read others with the same problem. Is it possible yours were metric as well? If so, how do you suppose you got such good results? Thanks for any input.

Well done…

I'm interested in knowing, where did you get your sharpening machine?? I need one.
