Saw Blade Sharpener Machine – Improve Precision, Efficiency & Tool Life | ELASN Woodworking Equipment

Saw blade sharpener machine is one kind of professional equipment or tools machine for recovering, re-grinding and calibrating the saw blades, which is widely used for wood cutting, metal cutting, man made plywood and manufacturer fields. Compared with one time used consumption saw blades, the core value of this machine is extending the service life and making a stable cutting quality as well as lowering the long periods production cost for a long time such as year by year or decades year by decades years.

In modern woodworking wood plants, no matter it is circular saw blade or band saw blade, factories is no longer relying the outsourcing for sharpening service life, but achieve self maintenance loop by automatic or CNC saw blade sharpener machine in wood plants.

Many wood factory will easily ignore this the most impact thing is that if the saw blade becomes blunt, it may directly occurs some questions as below:

The cutting force is highly increased with higher motor loaded, and cutting section surface may become rough even with edge collapsed so that it will finally effect the final product quality. Meanwhile, the wood may becomes burning shape like, black looking, even in the hardness cutting process. What’s more, operator will may obviously have the experience that the material feeding is hard than before, which may occur more safety risks.

While through saw blade sharpener machine for periodically grinding and trimming for the tooth, it may have the good results as below:

It may occurs and recovers to the same front angle, back angle and consistency tooth shape before standard and common daily processing. What’s the important things is that, the the cutting profile linear effect can be controlled by size and the stability is stable, which can significantly lower the risk accident and probability of machine suddenly stopping down when in using.  And on this point of continuously production such as furniture wood production line, wood pallet nailing machine production line, it is very important.

This is many purchaser that most easily get cheated when under the correct choosing guides.

For common seen saw blades kinds includes:

• TCT circular saw blade
• HSS saw blade
• Band saw blade

Metal cold saw blades or precision wood cutting saw

The correspond saw blade sharpener machine models includes:

• Automatic circular saw blade sharpener machine, which is suitable for standard tooth shape with massive processing.
• CNC circular saw blade sharpener machine, it is specially for multiple kinds of tooth shape, high precision that needs frequently changing the cutting parameter.
• Band blade sharpener machine, which is specially used for calibrating the distance between tooth pitch as well as continuously sharpening for band blades.

If the saw blade’s materials, diameter, tooth shape is not matching with the saw blade sharpener machine, even if it is more expensive equipment, it will not get the ideal grinding effect. So the saw blades sharpener machine is never the common equipment but the saw blade supporting equipment.

Many customers of Elasn Machinery will get confused to consider whether it is valued to buy a set of saw blade sharpener machine for self using? From our customers’ feedback to speak that the answer is almost correct. There may the cost comparison for cost between self sharpening and outsourcing:

Cost for outsourcing:

High cost for every single times without uncontrolled periods, what’s more, there may occurs some saw blades in stock inventory which may have high pressure on cost.

But if clients purchase one set of machine for self sharpening, the single saw blades can repeatedly used for 5-10 times until it is declared as scrapped. Once the machine is purchased, the cost for long times will be lower, what’s more, the production schedule can be controlled on customers listing. For those medium and big factory wood workshop or exporting companies, saw blades machine is the value of equipment for cost controlling instead of auxiliary equipment.

Speaking of gear grinding machines, we are all familiar with them. Because gear grinders are one of the items we often use in industries such as solid wood, furniture, artificial boards, aluminum alloys, etc.

To ensure product quality, what should we pay attention to when not using them? Now let’s take a closer look?

Both the saw blade factory and the storage of the grinding machine after use should pay attention to moisture and rust prevention of the saw blade. If it is not used immediately, it should be placed flat or hung up using the inner hole.

Other items or feet should not be stacked on the flat grinding machine. If it becomes less sharp or the cutting surface becomes rough during use, it must be re ground in a timely manner, and the grinding must not change the original angle or disrupt the dynamic balance. The inner diameter correction and positioning hole processing of the saw blade must be carried out by the saw blade factory.

In principle, the space for expanding the saw blade hole should not exceed 20mm of the original hole diameter to avoid affecting the balance of stress, and diamond saw blades are the best choice for alloy grinding wheels. Metal bonded diamond grinding wheels not only have high bonding strength, good wear resistance, low wear, but also long service life, low grinding cost, and can withstand large loads. But the only drawback is its poor sharpness, which makes it prone to blockage. In fact, we also need to pay attention to placing the gear grinding machine in a suitable environment, which can effectively ensure the stability of product performance and bring us great benefits, maintaining stable performance.

At the same time, if the saw blade is not sharp enough, it needs to be ground and the original angle cannot be changed during the grinding process. If the processing is poor, it will affect the effectiveness of the product and lead to danger. Generally speaking, if the saw blade is not used immediately, it should be placed flat or hung up with an inner hole. Remember not to place objects or step on the flat saw blade, and pay attention to moisture and rust prevention.

Automatic saw blade sharpener is more tending for the scene of stable processing size with fixed tooth shape in massive production wood plants, while CNC saw blade sharpener machine is controlled by PLC or CNC program, which can achieve multiple tooth shape, multi angle, high precision for sharpening and grinding requirements.

Elasn will suggest a brief methods to check: If the saw blades models is less, choosing automatic kinds, if needs custom and with more saw blades size requirements, choosing the CNC one.

After we finish using the gear grinding machine, we also need to pay attention to a series of operations on the equipment, so it is necessary to understand the relevant precautions. Here is what you should pay attention to after pausing the use.
After use, the gear grinding machine should be cleaned thoroughly to ensure normal operation for the next time; In addition, it is important to check the level of lubricating oil in the equipment and manually add it when lubrication is required to ensure that the machinery maintains a relatively good lubrication state, To prevent rusting of mechanical parts, it is important to apply sunscreen.

When we use a gear grinding machine in our daily lives, there are some details that we should pay attention to. Due to non-standard operation, it may cause many problems. Here are the daily precautions for using the equipment.
When we need to adjust the set length of the gear grinding machine, we should pay attention to reducing the speed of the production line; Additionally, during sawing of the equipment, stop the machine from shutting down and avoid cutting open the pipe when in use; Ultimately, when equipment malfunctions are discovered, remember to immediately shut down to avoid secondary problems that may cause damage to the equipment.

In many cases of Elasn customers overseas, we will get a brief and clear answer of the position of saw sharpener machine with some kinds of equipment below that forms a cooperative relationships:

• Square wood saw, longitudinal and cross-cut saw.
• Four sided moulder, double sides planer machine.
• Wood Pallet Nailing Production Line With Automatic Wood Block Connecting Machine, Chamfering, Turnover, logo mask printing, etc. For European and USA American standard wooden pallets.
• Beam saw for panel furniture making processing.

Saw blade sharpener is not only isolation exists, but plays a role as the supporting equipment for the whole cutting processing that may use the saw blades and band.

Q1: Which kinds of blades does the Saw blade sharpener machine can handle with?
A1: The common seen circular saw blades, alloy steel saw blade, band saw blade are both OK, but should pick the right model.

Q2: How many times of saw blades can be sharpened?

A2: 5-10 times usually, it depends on the saw blades material and cutting or planning quality.

Q3: Is it suitable for small wood shop when using CNC saw blade sharpener machine? 

A3: If there are many kinds of saw blades with different diameter size as well as customize demands, small workshop also can adopts CNC one.

Q4: Is there any size affect when after using the machine?

A4: Professional machine will control the grinding volume value, which has the most little effect on the diameter.

Q5: How long time does one saw blades need sharpening?

A5: The times is depends on the planing and cutting material and output, high strength capacity output is strongly suggested to build one rule for periodically maintenance for sharpening the saw blades to keep the precision as well as sharpness.
