I was a sawfiler 30 years before retirement. I filed with International paper and West Fraser using Salem, Can Car and Optimill bandmills. We also traveled doing wheel grinding and mill alignment. I had the pleasure of grinding wheels on numerous McDonough mills and they were the only manufacturer that came with mounting access for Barnhart wheel grinder. I liked that McDonough used train wheel bearings in their bandmill wheels. McDonough were the easiest and fastest grinding wheels we ground.
Champer the front edge for tire on the saw blade. Ground a few worn wheels in my day. Crush grind top wheel with motor head. Bottom use saws own power.
