Good information thank you I made some thing similar works pretty good I’m still trying to figure out how to sharpen the backside of the tooth the guy I get to sharpen my blades sometimes has a machine that sharpens the face in the back at the same time work great thanks for the info. God bless Glen
I personally don't believe it necessary to shapen "grind" the back of the tooth, I've heard all about the stress cracks that su0pposedly start on the gullet or back of the tooth but I've never had a problem with stress cracks. I think if you have a large motor and are cutting oak or hard woods it could possibly be an issue if you don't sharpen often enough. grinding the back of the tooth only shortens the life of the tooth in my honest opinion.
hi, could you also add a flat sock bar at bottom to slide into the drive link channel and be clamped as a chain would be, it would raise the band, don't think it wound matter in the professional style grinders, but the hobbyist style it would!
Of course you are grinding the tooth away a little every time you sharpen but I try to take as little as possible, the teeth and the set will wear just from the cutting of wood as well. I have a tooth setter but don't think I'll have to use it but perhaps every third sharpening. Its all part of the process no matter what process you choose.
If your sharper does not water cool the blade while sharpening it will heat the tooth and take the hardness out. The sharpening will last about half as long. Speaking from 30 years of experience.
Thats another cool thing about the diamond cutting wheel, it doesn't heat the tool nearly as much as a stone. In addition it is best to just take enough.....as little as possible. I've not seen any sharpeners that water cool though. Been at it few years myself.

I liked your indexer mechanism so much I just made one similar, and it works!
Awesome, its a simple design that should work a long time. Keep is simple.
I don't have a bandsaw but I nevertheless can't help but admire your skills in resourcefulness, inventiveness as well as fabrication.
Thank you Lonnie, means a lot to me coming from you, a man of many talents.
Never too old to pick up new tricks.
Good job!
Well done! Necessity is the mother of invention they say.
That is true, I find its amazing what we can do when we put our minds to work.
My Grandfather always told me that was incorrect. He said "Laziness is the Mother of Invention" Elmo Stingley, 1965
That was a very nice and interesting demo of your sharper. I will have to make one the same good tip about the diamond wheel. Thanks 😊
Glad you liked it and thank you for the feed back. It help get this information out to those who might need it.
Thanks for sharing Brother!
Your welcome and thanks for watching.
Thank you!
Welcome, glad you liked it.
That’s great.
I'm still looking at the swing blade sawmill. Sure miss y'all and sharing coffee and the word.

I've made quit a number of modification to this, check them out if your interested. Thanks for commenting. ua-cam.com/video/TpJ55Lz5_ps/v-deo.html
Do you know if Hut-Son will sell just the band saw adapter plate.
I built my own so I didn't contact them, you will have to contact them. I don't see why they wouldn't though.
Do you have a description or link as to the diamond wheel you use
Super Abrasive CBN 5-3/4” Chainsaw Wheels for 3/8 and .404 Pitch Steel Chains
Brand: Diamond Wheel, Inc
You can find them on Amazon
Great rig. But when you sharpen does not the tooth set change?

It does change set for sure. I get 3-4 sharpenings before I need to set my blades.
