I fell to the "Dark Side" and ended up getting one of those orange sawmills (I dare not mention the name here...LOL) a few years ago and love it. I have to say that even though I use a different machine, I have yet to find a resource that has been nearly as helpful as your series of videos. I can't thank you enough for doing these, your common sense approach makes your instruction easily transferrable to any sawmill application, without regard to the mill. Thank you!
Layout fluid works great both to mark your beginning and more importantly gives you a visual indicator of a clean cut across the entire tooth profile.
Nicely done - thanks for producing this video.
Very informative. Thanks.
This is a good idea... thanks
Very good video thank you.
slow motion and detail description to tell how the grinding wheel sharp the blade teeth, nice video.
wonderful
👍 From Cadillac Michigan thank you!!
great
According to one comment, cross grinding removes the cracks that might be starting in the gullets, but that's the same problem as stretching of the leading edge, a matter of luck hitting knots or hard objects. Definitely the technique to continue with for cutting backyard logs, but then the cost is factored in to the gain in unique tree types.
Looks like the wheel only touches the face and then the centre of the gullet? I thought it was supposed to sweep down and through without skipping? Big fan of all your videos btw
Can you change the hook angle on this sharpener? I cut everything from frozen hickory to loblolly pine. I run 7°-14° blades
You're braver than I am taking those little bitty screws out on a grassy surface. I am genetically programmed to drop at least one and never find it.
Maybe you didn't see him put a cookie sheet on the ground first. ;) I am same. Thanks for the laugh.
I put a white plastic tarp under spots like that.
Ain't that the truth!
Neat... Can you explain why the ballrace bearings on the blade holder, are set at an angle rather than horizontal?
Keep the blade positively tracking.
Hello sir, can you tell me what is the angle that you set the grinding stone?? What is the best angle of the 'hook angle" in youe opinion? Best regards form Serbia
I would use a welders chalk or a sharpie to mark your first sharp tooth just so you know where you started, just for ease of starting over if you need to
Great idea Stefano.
I sure could use one of these, getting tired of hand sharpening with a Dremel.
+Cecil E Skinner, now's the perfect time to look into it! We have a sale right now, you should check it out: www.norwoodsawmills.com/2015-fall-sawmill-sale-event
how do you compensate for different pitched [blade or do you use the feed adjustment for it. Or is it a single pitch machine
Hi Douglas
We have different cams you can get for different pitches.
I always started just before it touches then start the machine and start to adjust it in ...to prevent over cutting
thats actually how you do it.. me, sharpening hundreds of blades in the sawmill in my earlier days, always did it the way you describe.. it hurt my eyes watching this guy doing it his way, and then the first drop was horrible lot, you could even see the difference in the tooth shape compared to the others.. ouch..
Can you set the angle of attack on the teeth? Or is that done by the stone you use?
Hi Volker
The angle is set at the factory when the blade teeth are being cut. But you can reshape the angle of attach of the tooth with the stone. We recommend though that you try to get the profile that is right for you rather than "make" it with a grinder otherwise you are likely to grind off too much of the hardened surface in some places. Thanks

Im not a scientist or a engineer. But dont grinding cause heat. So if u sharpen the tooth and grind the gullet and the back side of the tooth dose this heat up the blade? Making the repeat on the tooth next allready heated? Losing temper after repeated sharpings? I know slower the better and less is more. But Found teeth in the blade not spaced the same welds,cheap blades and grinding machine slight drag on the cheap roller system to rotate the blades on these sharpeners. Dont get me wrong they work great. Ive had the blade get stuck rotating on the process and grind teeth off.
How often would you use the tooth seter that that sell
Depends on what you are milling and how you are treating your blades. It also depends on personal preference. A good rule of thumb is to sharpen band blades every two hours of cutting (so take a few blades with you for a full day of cutting). However, you may need to sharpen your blades more often if you are milling dirty logs or species that have a lot of sand inside the fiber (like cedar). Most sawyers can re-sharpen blades between 5 to 8 times. Personally, I will look at set about every two to three sharpeneings.
Whot is your all price

would have been better if the camera was where the handle did not block the tooth being sharpened. and the guy had a better sence of adjustment instead screwing the adjustments nobs so far at one time.
What if your blade has variable teeth pattern? 3 teeth and 4 teeth per inch.
+Kirk Crawford This video was set up to profile 7/8" pitch blades (one tooth every 7/8"). Band sawmills do not use the same high density teeth set-up as shop bandsaws or metal bandsaws.
He didn't comment as to why the 'contour' of the cut wasn't near to the contour of the blade's [teeth/gullet]! The stone ground down 80% of the face of the tooth, nothing the first 50% of the gullet, very little on the tail of the gullet, and then back to a healthy bite on the backside of the tooth [which I wouldn't think you'd want].
So why?
Is the cam that the stone's traveler rides on wrong for this blade? Is the plane the teeth are traveling along not parallel [pitched down a degree or two] relative to the plane[s] of the cut?
Compared to a Cook's sharpener, I'm not at all impressed with Norwood's product.
From a HD36 owner.
The cam is for a slightly different blade profile, and it will take several sharpenings to get a perfect match. The sharpening actually takes place on the back side of the tooth. All you want to do when sharpening the face is to square it up and knock off the burr. As a note, I did get tired of hand cranking the feed, and bought a 12V gear motor & speed controller for an automatic feed.
what about tooth set? don't the teeth get moved a bit in use?
Yes, teeth can need re-setting. There is another specialized tool for that. But most important is sharpening.
Norwood Portable Sawmills thank you for the quick response. I’ve thought about this. Fortunately, where I live and operate, there are two sawmill blade sharpening services. One of whom I know personally. And they are directly on my delivery and return route, so I can easily drop off and pick up my blades. It’s inexpensive. So so far, I’ve not gotten in to what you are doing. But like I said, it has intrigued me a lot.

How do you set your angle
The BladeMate Pro is designed to sharpen blades at a 10 degree hook angle.
@@NorwoodsawmillsDirect but theres different angles for different kind of woods
Design a wing nut design so I dont have to take the cover completely off
The covers are to remain on during operation of the BladeMate Pro and should only be removed for maintenance or repair, therefore a tool is required to remove any covers.
@@NorwoodsawmillsDirect to change the grinding wheel !!
what about setting the teeth
Hi
Norwood also offers a great tooth setter. www.norwoodsawmills.com/products-sharpeners/norwood-band-blade-tooth-setter
Thanks
Can I make spare money just sharpening blades?
Hi Robert
Some people/companies do indeed sharpen blades as an income-generating business or segment of their business.
What a difference Ten Seconds makes...! Am I the only one to see the oversight? 2:50 vs 3:00 'Do as I say; not as I do...?!'
Why hasn't Norwood produced a better better teaching video or quality edit?!
Maybe something different to remove the valley between teeth
