The "Dino" model PF 12v
grinder is a versatile bandsaw blade sharpener capable of sharpening blades from 19 to
90mm (3/4" to 3.5") in width with tooth pitches from 8 to 38mm (5/16" to 1
1/2"). It should be used in conjunction with the “Dino” Automatic Setting
Machine to maintain your blades at optimum efficiency.
Bandsaw blades suffer large stresses because they are
continually flexing as they travel around the band wheels. This flexing, as well as the
teeth being pulled back, causes them to develop minute cracks, especially in the gullet
bottoms. Keeping them sharpened and gummed out is critical, not just to keep the cutting
edge keen, but equally, to remove these cracks before they develop into serious problems.
The object of sharpening them is to remove the minimum
amount of material over the whole tooth profile, while refreshing the cutting faces and
maintaining a good tooth shape. A bad shape can lead to premature gullet cracking and
inefficient cutting. Try to maintain smooth contours throughout the tooth profile to
minimise stress raisers. Most, but not all, commercially available bandsaw blades have a
"good" tooth shape.
Read these instructions thoroughly before using the
grinder. Make all major adjustments with the motor switched off. When initially
setting up do not run the grinder motor. This will minimise errors and
unintentional damage to blades.
