  • Page 31 Grinding Wheel Shape e. Turn the grinder motor switch to the "off" position. FIG. 4-5 SM0028D Dress the right 1/3 of the tooth at the same angle as the back of the tooth. FIG. 4-6 The shape of the wheel will be refined after the sharpener has been adjusted to grind the blade.
  • Page 32 Grinding Wheel Shape that wears quickest. As the radius increases during sharpening, it starts to grind into the tooth face and leaves little or no hook angle in the tooth. (See Fig. 4-7.) FIG. 4-7 Maintain the shape of the wheel. If the radius becomes too large, redress the grinding wheel: 1.
  • Page 33: Face Grind Adjustment

    Face Grind Adjustment Face Grind Adjustment As the sharpener operates, the cam will rotate, causing the pusher arm to contact a tooth and move it into a position under the grinding wheel. The pusher arm can be adjusted to leave the tooth closer to or further away from the grinding wheel so that the tooth face is ground more lightly or more heavily.
  • Page 34 Face Grind Adjustment 7. Advance the blade and recheck the face grind. If necessary, repeat the procedure. wing nut TD-BMS25-07 FIG. 4-8 WM doc 1/20/21...
  • Page 35: Tooth Height Adjustments

    Dressing the wheel for less back grind will require readjustment of the depth/back  grind for the gullet grind. ® Note: Refer to the Wood-Mizer Blade Handbook for recommended tooth height specifi- cations for your sawing application. WM doc 1/20/21...
  • Page 36: Gullet Grind Adjustment

    If the wheel is too close to the blade, twist the turnbuckle clockwise to raise the  wheel. If the wheel is too far from the blade, twist the turnbuckle counter-clockwise to  lower the wheel. TD-BMS25-08 motor mount rod end thumbnut turnbuckle FIG. 4-9...
  • Page 37 Gullet Grind Adjustment 5. Lock the turnbuckle by tightening the thumbnut against it. 6. Replace the cover before operating the sharpener. CAUTION! Be sure the rod end of the rocker assembly stays seated against the motor mount. The grinding wheel will damage the blade if the tip becomes unseated.
  • Page 38: Back Grind Adjustment

    When combined with a light face grind, back grind should remove enough material from ® the tooth to regain a sharp tip (See the Wood-Mizer Blade Handbook for details con- cerning blade maintenance). With the face grind and gullet grind adjusted, now dress the back angle of the wheel to provide the desired back grind.
  • Page 39 Back Grind Adjustment If the back grind is too light, redress the bottom angle of the wheel, reset the gullet  grind, then recheck the back grind. FIG. 4-10 6. Check the contact of the grinding wheel against the back of the tooth, and if necessary, repeat the procedure.
  • Page 40: Overview Of Adjustments

     IMPORTANT! The sharpener is equipped with a cam to sharpen stan- dard Wood-Mizer blades with a “10/30” profile. There are three important areas to monitor when sharpening blades: Hook Angle  Tooth Height ...
  • Page 41: Section 5 Sharpener Operation

    Operation SECTION 5 SHARPENER OPERATION Operation WARNING! Wear eye protection when operating the sharpener. Fail- ure to do so may result in serious injury. After the sharpener has been assembled and properly adjusted, and a blade has been installed, you are ready to sharpen the blade. 1.
  • Page 42 Operation Any adjustments of the pusher wing nut will affect gullet grind, face grind and back grind. If you use the turnbuckle to lower the wheel for more gullet grind, you will have to dress more from the back angle of the wheel to prevent grinding the back of the teeth too heavy. If you dress the bottom angle of the wheel larger for less back grind, you will have to read- just the gullet grind with the pusher wing nut.
  • Page 43: Blade Installation

    Blade Installation Blade Installation Before installing a blade, use the jog switch to move the pusher into the highest position that allows the blade to be installed. Install a blade: 1. Uncoil a blade and position it above the three support assemblies around the sharpener. 2.
  • Page 44 Blade Installation b. Slide the turnbuckle assembly off the head. c. Rotate the sharpener head back so that it rests in the most upright position. d. Lift the indexing arm. CAUTION! When disconnecting or reattaching the sharpener head, be sure to keep it supported. Do not allow the sharpener to fall. It may damage the grinding wheel or the blade, and may cause personal injury.
  • Page 45: Blade Removal

    Blade Removal Blade Removal Blade removal is similar to blade installation. Before removing a blade, ensure all motors are turned off. Remove a blade: 1. Use the jog switch to move the pusher into the highest position that allows the blade to be removed.
