      Thank you. It was a fun build. I actually just ordered a CBN wheel for it. It sharpened great before and I think this is going to be even better. Thank you for watching.

    Great job Jerry. you need to grind the gullet as stress cracks will appear in the bottom of the gullet of the tooth when the blade is sawing the bending of the blade going around the drive pulley of the mill causes this. I have a grindlux 4000 and it talks about this in the manual. It says that the blade will break if the cracks aren't ground out! Just letting you know!

    • @BigelowWoodcraft
      @BigelowWoodcraft  3 роки тому +1

      Yes I do grind the gullet. I know this video doesn't show it. But as I lower the depth it gets the gullet. I'm guessing I'm about .020 above the gullet. I've only had one blade break so far. That broke at the weld. These blades each have about six to 10 sharpening each. So I suspect they will start giving up their usefulness shortly. Thank you for watching

      @@BigelowWoodcraft If you like Jerry look me up on FB same name here and I will take a picture of the page in the manual that shows the micro cracks so in case your not sure what they are talking about. I am thinking they have done extensive research on this topic! I would send it to you!

      Marc, I don't have a public Facebook profile. I do have my cam shaped to follow the gullets better now. I've still only broke two blade so far and those both were at the weld. I'm very happy with the grinder. I'm approaching 10 resharpenings on most of the blades. The sharpener has been a huge part of my operation. Thanks for the follow-up

    That is a cool set up. About how many sharpenings can you get out of a blade? Do you ever have to dress the grinding wheel?

    • @BigelowWoodcraft
      @BigelowWoodcraft  3 роки тому +1

      I've gotten about 5 sharpens out of 4 blades each. They are getting to the end of their life span. Yes I dress the wheel to fit the radius

    • @BigelowWoodcraft
      @BigelowWoodcraft  3 роки тому

      What i did is turned the cam where i wanted. This would push the blade with the arm. Then i marked the cam with a pencil. This mark is the spot i need to cut down. I determined the amount of stock by measuring the bottom of the grinding wheel to the blade with a machinest scale....i tried to read it to the .020". So if my grinding wheel was .375 over the blade i would grind the cam down .375. this only works if your rocker arm is 1 to 1. If it's not you have to take the ratio. You do this about every 20 degrees on the cam. This will get you close. Then i use a flap wheel on a drill motor to fine turne it. Hope this makes sense.

    Could I have some specs on how to build tooth setter and I have chainsaw sharpener

    • @BigelowWoodcraft
      @BigelowWoodcraft  3 роки тому

      I don't know about any specs. It was all trial and error. I used a windshield motor to drive the cam and the push rod. I used a 12v dc inverter to run the windshield motor. A PWM control from Amazon to control the speed of the motor. The setter is just those clamps that at placed at the proper locations to correspond with the teeth of the blade.

      Ac to DC 12 volt converter,
      Unistrut,
      And a Foley chainsaw sharpener,
      For the setter.
      3 push pull clamps.
      Either a dial indicator or calipers to measure set. I don't use the dial indicator and only use the calipers.

    Your not sharpening the back of the tooth which is important,

    • @BigelowWoodcraft
      @BigelowWoodcraft  3 роки тому

      If i lower the depth it does cut the gullet and run up the back of the tooth. Usually it just dusts the back. I've not seen any noticable difference if it doesn't dust the back of the tooth. I'll try and pay attention a bit closer to the blades and actually compare. These blades I sharpen always cut as well as a new blade. I have about 6 to 8 sharpens on these current batch. I've learned a lot in the last 6 months. Thank you for the input and watching.
