Bandsaw Blade Sharpening
I am looking at buying a carbide tip blade for my Laguna 14BX. Does anyone know who will resharpen either a resawking blade or the trimaster.It will be a 3/4 inch blade.Henry bros won't do anything under 2 inch and neither the place in Gymea.
cheers.....Roy

Cheers Chris knew you would have an answer.There is a mob in Qld CSK that do do sharpen the resaw king and for their price I would run with it.But when you add postage it starts getting a tad pricey.Still haven't decided which blade to go with but I better do it fast.
cheers....Roy

Roy, I use the Lennox Woodmaster B blades in 32mm. Same problem. I bought a few of those 25mm diamond discs with the mandrel from McJings at one of the woodshows a few years ago and I just used them in my cordless drill. Not exactly precision, but it worked.
I then decided to buy one of the elaborate bench chainsaw sharpeners, set up a lever to move the blade an equal distance each time and it works a treat. I have got it working so well, it only removes a few thou off each tooth, only issue is when the adjuster hooks into one of the newly sharpened teeth, I have to adjust the last couple of teeth to be sharpened manually.
Rgds,
Crocy.

The plus with a carbide tipped blade is it will rarely need sharpening. Mine is Lennox Trimaster is a few years old now and I can't detect any difference from when it was new and the finish off the blade has not changed and I cut aluminium with it as well.

After a bit more research I have finally decided to run with the Resaw king blade. I should hopefully be able to get enough tension on the blade to get the best out of the saw and blade.The old saying buy once cry once definitely true.Will worry about sharpening when the time comes hopefully long after i have forgotten about the purchase.

Interesting you tube from HNT.
That’s my old Barker bandsaw Terry has.
I was hoping they’d pan out so I could see if he still has the Gemini heater duct under the blade for dust extraction.

Unfortunately after paying top dollar to get it delivered quickly and safely the blade has dissapeared. Sender has closed for Xmas and Australia Post cannot tell me where it is.Tracking still showing on it's way to be delivered 19th dec. So looks like crying more than once.

Knowing how the system works I will bet the sender has not sent it. They scan it into the system to start the pick up process but if they shut before the pick up was physically done it shows in the system regardless. If you need a job done use mine, the new fence set up is awesome.

Just to comment on the use of carbide tipped blades. In discussions with McDivens saws here in Vic. they said best not to use tungsten tips on any saw unless the wheels are 18inch or larger. I wanted some made for our Portamill but as it has 14 inch wheels they advised these blades would be inclined to stress crack and suggested bi-metal. These blades are 1.5TPI but only 27mm wide v/s our standard 1.5 TPI 50mm wide blades. Have quite a bit of hard padauk to cut so will be interested how they compare. We do resharpen all of our std blades using a Dinasaw resharpening machine which works well once you have mastered the tricky adjustments.

Dremmel is Less Frighteninng
Good Morning Chris
No disrespect to you or Terry, but I found the use of an angle grinder on a bandsaw blade to be rather frightenning.
Mate has a more demure system consisting of:
- diamond blade in a dremmel,
- simple plywood jig to hold the dremmel at the right angle.
Sharpening process is:
- slide jig towards blade until diamond wheel is in gullet, switch dremmel on,
- move bandsaw blade lightly against wheel - bzzzzz
- slide jig back, advance bandsaw blade - bzzzzz
- repeat.
System is virtually idiot proof!

Graeme, never do anything you aren't comfortable with. I have two Dremels, both given to me and I have never used either for anything.
