Got his plans for a Band Blade Sharpener, and built the sucker. Already got 6 blades sharpened. Total cost, $17.95, for the small gearmotor and $13.23 for the belt and 2 bearings.
The blades sure feel sharp. Now, if they cut, we should be in business. :

;D

I have a great imagination and can just about see that sharpener, but a picture might help just a little. :D

Deadheader
Is this a profile sharpener? Are these plans available to the rest of us poor folk?

Harold can ya send me a copy of the plans.

I sure could use some plans that could save me some money.

What size motor is that???

Which motor?? The washing machine one, or, the electric window one??
Next time I see ole Rube, I'll get his address for y'all !! :D :D
Actually, it wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. I need to add a fine adjustment to the advance bar, but, I think that is all I have to do. Of course, some switches and switch boxes would probably be nice. ;D

Sooooo what does he charge for the plans ??? Is the price gonna make me do this

or this 8)

Harold,

Looks like it is pretty simple to make. I have enough junk laying around to make me one of those too ;D

If ya get a chance, pass his address my way so I can get me a copy.

Me thinks Deadheader's true calling is more to prototyping than sawing perhaps :D :D :D

Mark M · May 21, 2003, 10:18:20 PM

Hey Harold, you should go on the Junk Yard Wars TV show like the former Governor of ND. ;)

BW_Williams · May 21, 2003, 10:39:29 PM

Harold you are still sharpening the wrong kind of blade for that Aussy Pine! BWW

Fla._Deadheader · May 22, 2003, 05:40:24 AM

Yeah, BW. BUT, I got ole Rube werkin on a set of plans fer a hole new kontrapshun. It oughta be a killer of a humdinger type thingy

I'll see if'n I can git some close up pitchers of his sharpener fer y'all. ;D ;)

BW_Williams · May 22, 2003, 06:31:26 AM

I highly suspected that!

Weekend_Sawyer · May 22, 2003, 09:06:03 AM

Always something interesting Mr Deadheader.

Do you have something for checking and setting blades?

Are you applying for a pattent?

If not will you post the plans? mabe in the knowledge base...

Will you excuse my spelling?

What spelin ?? There are NO plans. I built this thing as I went. The tricky part is the cam that runs the grinder up-down and the advance, at the same time. The gearmotor came from Surplus Center. It is 12-24 volt. I use a battery charger-12V. I will post pics later and, surely, if you have access to a welder, it is NOT that difficult, OR, send me a blade that you use, and I could do the gearmotor-cam thing for ya??
I built a dual tooth setter a while back. It works well also. Looks like the one by Suffolk.
