thank you very much, i got a lot from your video, well done, finished my build last night, the cam wasn't as hard as i thought. thanks again. take care
This is by far the best video I’ve seen on making a diy bandsaw blade sharpener (and I’ve seen a bunch), from me all all those other bandsawers looking to save money on sharpening our blades, thank you so very much for sharing your skills 👍
Very well done! Informative, concise, knowledgeable, good camera angles and just the right amount of detail. I was able to pause, go right to Amazon and add to cart as I watched. I'm starting my build today thanks to you. I watched several others and you we by far the best. Thanks brother! My pile of band saw blades will thank you as well!
Thanks man! I have built one similar to this .. differences are 30rpm synchronous motor and the motor mount that bolted to the deck qith slots for moving the motor assembly back for profiling a different cam (I have 3 cams working and a 3th yet to do. Cams are for: woodmizer 10/30 (most used), woodmizer 737 10*, 1" wide 3/4" spacing Lenox profile, and last one for my blade collection will be for Ripper37s.
Thanks for this video I have just built one and it works good. But it took me 50 times longer to build than it took you. Thanks its the best video on youtube. There are many rubbish videos being posted. This is the best. Thanks again
This version is much easier to adjust because his cam is much larger diameter than others and the fulcrum distance to the lifting arm looks to be 4x. The larger cam wheel mean he can make finer adjustments to the cam reducing the danger of taking too much off ruining it. He also exemplifies here the importance of easy cam wheel removal for adjustments. The push rod design he made is so simple, easy to fabricate. Easy to forget how much thought went into making it appear simple. Noted also looks like he is using a 3/16 thick wheel and you can see he dressed the leading edge of the wheel a bit to clear the back of the tooth. Well done. Now then, that chainsaw grinder... The price of these here in canada has shot up to $200 ! I placed an ad on craigslist to try to find a used one. So far a week later, none available.
Stopped on this. . Ingenious design and great demonstration. Looking for a way to do smaller bandsaw blades for my bandsaw. Your way shows sharpening the gullet and the rake, (?) don't have a metal shop but learned the process. Thanks!
I made some thing same after watching your video, the placement and orientation of the components is same as I see in the video. I watched the video so many times it is now memorised by heart. There was a big disappointment when I tried my first blade, you know I had to turn the blade inside out and do the same after sharpening. It was an excellent job done. Then I thought that if I had made it all in opposite I would not have to turn the blade inside out, my bandsaw upright column is on the left side very very common orientation. Want to know more about this but I am happy with this blade turning exercise since I am getting such good sharp blades. Thanks for the good design and detailed explanation of the cam making which is the heart of the machine. God bless you for spreading your knowledge and knowhow. Best wishes and regards.
Nice work and explained very well in depth, I'm going to give it a try, I should have made this tool sharpener long ago, I've been sawing over 25 years now, thanks for sharing.
Best build yet, I have a Frontier 0S27 and do woodwork, my neighbor does welding and had all the scrap parts you used. I received my cam motor, bearings and other nessities yesterday and he has almost completed the base so I should have a working sharpener soon. Thank you so much
Nice, l appreciate the way you explained. I made rough drawings then listened to the video and wrote the measurements that was the funny part. Really like your design and the simplicity. I am also a machinist when I make one l will send you the pictures thanks and regards. Best of luck, take care.
No kidding this is one of the best jig videos I've seen in a while. Most videos these days have become commercials for tools. I appreciate your effort and have gained another subscriber, I wish I could do more to support makers like you.
I "ve been looking to build one , I appreciate the time you took to share this , I'm going to start on one this week thanks for sharing . I could only get a 4mm shaft on the motor , 15rpm so this build is going to be fun , have about 70 blades that need to be sharpen . Thanks again for sharing , will forward pics after I have a blade on it .
Hey man! you did a great job. when you see the price here in France for a sharpening,It gives you the opportunity of saving money. Here,one sharpening cost 28 Euros...and one blade cost about 75 Euros. You sharp it three times and you can buy a new blade or something else. And as we say in the south of France :" tu t'es pas levé un cul pour rien!!" Encore Bravo, I run to my workshop to manufacture my own machine. Thank you very much "In net we trust!!!" .
the creative process shown here is thoughtful, deliberate and so effing profound. - This one thing you said will be with me forever: "nuthin happens quick, ... at least nothing good"
Buen video amigo, y mas bien exelente trabajo . Saludos de argentina , me gustaria tambien de trabador de dientes y afilados de cuchillas de cepilladora. Gracias
Great, thanks so much for Cher with us your time and job, congratulations works just nice. I’m excited to test mine! 😁😁 I’m not coping just doing the same 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
👍👍👍👍👍I form dressed a bench grinder wheel. It takes too much metal off each time. Plus I know that I'm not as consistent as the profile machines. The cams is the only reason that I haven't built one of these. Thank You so much for explaining this cam so clearly 👍👍👍👍👍
Satisfying artwork for DIY engineers. I'd like to see a Hammer and Anvil version that sharpens by flattening the tooth to a chisel point and doesn't start cracking in the gullet. When EV Trucks get going, (or we might have to refurbish our own preferred Classic), a Bandsaw with twin Electric Motors is on my list of projects, so many ways to use Electric Tools and not breath bad stuff. Because a 4WD has the front wheels turn a touch faster than the rear, to protect the differentials from backlash and overstrained drive trains, ..so the same thing happens in a Bandsaw blade, if you want evenly loaded cutting tips, less shock-stress on the bottom of individual teeth in the gullet. Maybe. Computer Modelling research required. Someone, a DIYer first probably, has to do this.
I hope you check your comments, Your build is amazing and even some life lessons thrown in as well. I am going to try to replicate this and make a video of it… hope I do yours justice! Thanks. Rob
Do you have to shave down the cam after each sharpening? Or do you just raise the bed that the blade runs on a smidge? I ask because I suppose if you for example go all the way around the blade and start again where you began it won't grind anymore. So in the same way if you come back and put the blade in again in the same spot later it also won't grind anything away.
Awesome build....I ordered a small motor with like that but it came in as 4 times smaller than yours....I believe it was a 6 mm shaft and flange...way to small...do you have the measure ts or a link to that motor and flange, I would love to build one ASAP....thanks for your time
Some pro tips! 1st. you don't have enough head tilt! Increase it even more! 2nd. The pusher starts pushing too early. He slowed it down a little more, only a little later to start thrusting. the 3rd. A true technically competently designed grinding machine always works with two pushers! With one pusher you accumulate error! After 3-4-5 sharpenings of the band it will mess up the pitch of the teeth and the teeth will be different heights and the band will stop cutting! the 4th. At the back of the hinge, try to install small bearings, because there are probably bushings and there is play in them! This loofah will lose the front corner of your tooth! I'm using google translate and some words will be confusing, but you'll get the point :) :)
@@MrTate1970 For the money, what it has done is really good. I just give him guidance if he has the desire and time how to further improve his machine. I have watched the whole video from end to end and I loved it. That's why I decided to write a comment with my advice. I love his video, don't get me wrong!

Great job. Getting the cam adjusted appears to be a tedious part but well explained.
the creative process shown here is thoughtful, deliberate and so effing profound. - This one thing you said will be with me forever:
"nuthin happens quick,

😂
What a special fine construction with the indexwheel - greetings from germany
Great indepth instructions. Nice job.
Really good engineering and thinking 🤔 👍 😀 now I have to build one after the sawmill is done.
Have you built a tooth setter?
Man I can't thank you enough for this video.
Enjoyed watching your mind working. So far out of my wheelhouse! Hahaha Great instructional.
Muchas grasias jefe. Nadie lo Avia esplicado ta claro como usted. Mil grasias desde 🇵🇦.
Maybe consider adding a flame or induction heating point following by a quenching station
Good video and job. Works really well. Take care, be safe and well.
Buen video amigo, y mas bien exelente trabajo . Saludos de argentina , me gustaria tambien de trabador de dientes y afilados de cuchillas de cepilladora. Gracias
like your grinder have you got a way to weld blades back together?
I been welding with gas would like a butt welder any ideas ?
Great job , I have look at a lot of setup for sharpen sawmill blade and your is the best both time to sharpen and the grind , thank you
Very well done and explained. I've built one but its all manual.
Dziękuję. Nie rozumiem angielskiego ale tak to pokazujesz że wszystko rozumiem. Serdecznie pozdrawiam z Polski
Cieszę się, że mogłem pomóc
I thanks for urs new ideas
I am from Ethiopia I more satisfied
Thank u
What a good practical teacher are you?
Excellent! Great walkthrough on the cam. Going to Fab one off your vid. Thank you!
Do you by chance have a tooth setter video build?
thank you for uploading video like this . this is very clear and very helpful .i will copy it very soon Insha'Allah
Excellent video. Is there a blueprint for this sharpener?
ottimo lavoro. mi hai dato una grande ispirazione.
Great, thanks so much for Cher with us your time and job, congratulations works just nice. I’m excited to test mine! 😁😁 I’m not coping just doing the same 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Brilliant, easy to follow and well explained

you are welcome
thank you for sharing , Going to build it .
Thanks for an excellent presentation.
Muito bem explicado, parabéns 👏👏 Brasil 🇧🇷🇧🇷

I'd like to see a Hammer and Anvil version that sharpens by flattening the tooth to a chisel point and doesn't start cracking in the gullet.

Nice build. Could I get a drawing of your cam wheel?
Have you had any problems using this? Any updates any weak links something that you would do different? seems like a simple build.
Very impressive. Do you have plans to download to make my life easier in making one these?
Awsome! Ok can I buy it and how much for shipping ?
Muito instrutivo, obrigado por compartilhar, do. Brasil.
muito bem vindo
Can I pay you to build me one of these?
It would have been good if you had shown the grinder wheel and cam going round in the same shot when making the cam profile. Thanks
parabéns peloa aula eu presciso de uma dessa e agora eu que sou um leito no assuto consigo fazer uma obrigado
Great job but I can't figure out how to keep the hook on the blade
Bravo 👏,nice job!
Great job!!!
With what you made will it grain a 7/8 band , on the same dimensions
great design/build tutorial. sharing
Good job.
Good Job!!!!!
Well done.
Your a very very clever man.awsome
Very Good friend, parabéns vou fazer o seu projeto, sul do Brasil

Amazing !
Great job. :)
Awesome build....I ordered a small motor with like that but it came in as 4 times smaller than yours....I believe it was a 6 mm shaft and flange...way to small...do you have the measure ts or a link to that motor and flange, I would love to build one ASAP....thanks for your time

Could you possibly take your cam and trace it on paper, scan it as actual size and upload it?
Well done!
Good stuff.
AWSOME-NESS 100 POINTS Mr Magoo Milo, Maine 10/16/22
Do you by chance have a tooth setter you made ?
Very cool. I'll need to do that.
Does anyone know if you have to set your blade teeth to 90 degrees? Then reset them after sharpening?
You should build them and sell them. I would buy one.
Some pro tips!
1st. you don't have enough head tilt! Increase it even more!
2nd. The pusher starts pushing too early. He slowed it down a little more, only a little later to start thrusting.
the 3rd. A true technically competently designed grinding machine always works with two pushers! With one pusher you accumulate error! After 3-4-5 sharpenings of the band it will mess up the pitch of the teeth and the teeth will be different heights and the band will stop cutting!

He's not making a 1000 dollar shaperener. Didn't you listen to the end he said do it how you want. I think he did an excellent job.
I wish you had a longer video on your channel. Sets take angle correctly for softwood, but alas, no words, only a quick video.
