    These guys are doing way way way more than sharpening. They are manufacturing the blades back to factory specification.

      Not quite they missed 1 step, at least not shown in the video. Side checking, sometimes the steel gullet the carbide is brazed (not soldered) to gets bent. They should be checking that the blades steel body is inline before grinding the kerf. If you grind the kerf first but a tooth is bent, you won't be able to restore the kerf. It's a minor oversight, that is usually not required.

    • @billzickel8260
      @billzickel8260 6 лет назад +6

      Leatherman,
      All blades are checked for any damage to both the tips and the saw blade body. We have all the latest measuring instruments to check for bent shoulders and side clearances.

    • @Leatherman154
      @Leatherman154 6 лет назад +1

      That's good to hear maybe I missed that part in the video. I'm guessing you work their. I wasn't trying to criticize the work you guys are doing, you guys do it right unlike so many others I've seen. Can I ask on a blade with regular wear, how much you're removing from the tops+faces? Again just out of curiosity. Also what kind of coolant are you running, oil or emulsion? If you take the time to answer I appreciate it, if not no worries. When it comes to tooling sometimes I nerdgasm, don't even get me started on diamond tooling haha. Again you guys do great work, I personally wouldn't hesitate to send a saw blade to you guys. Do you service all kinds of tooling, or just saw blades?

    • @billzickel8260
      @billzickel8260 6 лет назад

      Leatherman
      We remove about 0.2mm on the top and face of the blade on normal dull blades. All our grinders use oil coolant that is filtered with a Transor filter system.
      Do you still work at Leitz?

    After spending nearly 20 years in a mill saw shop I seen a few minor errors in your commentary. The flux is not to protect the steel it is to clean the steel and allow the solder to stick to the tooth and saw blade. The sliver they use is not copper but silver solder. The equipment that this shop has is the envy of any sawfiler. All top notch state of the art. All in all a good video.

    • @WoodWorkLIFE
      @WoodWorkLIFE  5 лет назад

      Thanks Dan, they told me the pieces they used to glaze the carbide onto the blade was as sliver of copper rather than silver solder. Flux is above my pay grade so you are probably right on that one. I think this why they had to regrind the blades after glazing on new teeth.

    • @rickhalverson2014
      @rickhalverson2014 5 лет назад +2

      @ DAN HUNIK - silver solder? I think brazing bud. Thus the yellowish copper look.
      Flux is to clean the steel and protect it from oxidizing before the brazing.

    I sent two 10" 60-tooth blades to Quinn in January 2018. They are still honoring the discount. The two blades were from our makerspace's miter and table saws. They got a lot of use from a lot of newbies. Teeth full of pine plaque, some scratches and rust. Quinn cleaned them up real nice, replaced two teeth (I think from the table saw blade, a Freud, because I maybe might have dropped it once) and they burned our logo on them. They look great! I'm giving them a test spin tomorrow.

This is awesome and it really makes you wonder why so much stuff is thrown out (low quality I fear) - in the good old days, everything could be fixed/reground etc. Even yer average car owner wouldn't think twice about having a 'rebore' on his (sorry yes it was mostly men then) car engine cylinders - nowadays that's pretty much unheard of (outside of vintage circles).

    Another good reason to run that blade through the surface grinder is that for blades that cut through copper, Aluminum, and even stainless. Those types of metals are very gummy and stick to the blades body. It Is necessary to grind the body as not of interfere with the clamping in their chd's.

      It is so cheap to have it done by professionals like this I highly recommend sending it to a shop. The payoff costs of buying equipment to do it properly yourself (even basic equipment) would take 1000s of sharpenings to pay for itself. It is only $10 to get a 40 tooth blade sharpened.

      That is part of the journey, you need to find a good hardwood dealer you can trust, and visit often. You need to find out the tools you need and where to oggle at them and in some cases who can maintenance them (if you don't learn or can't do it yourself.) You need to figure out what kind of woodworker you want to be...cabinet maker, furniture maker, carpenter, finish carpenter, framer, mill wright, turner...or some combination of all of the above. You need to find a few masters or at least very good woodworkers you can learn from, be them online or preferably in person. You can only get so far on your own, EVEN WITH THE INTERNET

    So, for smaller blades like 7 1/4 and 10" is it worth it to send it for sharpening and pay shipping plus sharpening rather than just buying new one?

      That is why you're seeing many videos on using an angle grinder with any diamond blade mounted to a fixture- one last gasp from the disposable before it goes to the scrapman. You won't get first use quality, but if you want a blade for sawing mystery lumber it's a good way to go actually.

    • @Leatherman154

      I've always loved that term "Silver Solder" haha. The only difference between soldering and brazing is temperature. If your filler metal liquefies over 450°C you are brazing, at or under 450°C you are soldering. The term "Silver Solder" makes no sense since all silver based alloys melt well above 450°C. If you're using silver you are definitely brazing.

    • @oysterjohn5669
      @oysterjohn5669 6 лет назад

      I'm a retired Saw Filer. I've silver soldered thousands of tips. I've never once heard of soldering tips on with copper (brass yes). Most of our tips were pre-tinned with silver solder and we had silver solder rod for other jobs. We used a oxy/acet torch to braise them on, so I'm sure the temperature was well over 450. The term Silver Solder must be a misnomer. Never had a way to check the temperature, just put black flux on the notch and heated and pushed the tip into that notch. By the way, Vollmer is one of the most accurate grinders I've ever used.

      Generally speaking a blade cuts better after being sharpened once. Also lots of cheaper blades can be made to cut better then factory with a good quality sharpening. If you're in Canada a good company to deal with is Royce Ayr. Send your blades to a top notch service center like Lietz, and you'll get great cut quality and long life on a budget. If you're in America get some Forrest saw blades and send them out to get serviced. I see lots of these budget blades and with a proper service they'll cut just fine.

The sharpener replies “ We charge 1cent to sharpen the first tooth, 2cents to sharpen the second tooth, 4cents to sharpen the third tooth, 8 cents for the fourth tooth etc, the price is doubled for each tooth =16 cents, 32cents, 64cents for the seventh tooth etc. So work out how much a 24 tooth saw would cost to sharpen.
