REINSTALLING THE SKIVER BLADE:
The most critical thing (after sharpening) is adjusting the blade to keep it away from the lower drive wheel, the teeth on the drive wheel will damage your newly sharpened blade.
BTW: I am willing to sharpen these blades for $50 if you need this service.
The way to prevent this is to set both the left and right height adjusters as low as they can go.
You really need to work on this from the back of the machine so unbolt it from the table.
I add washers to the hold-down screws so they don't push the blade out of position while tightening.
The up-grade is making the left side adjuster moveable without using a wrench.
I added the 5/16-18 button head WITH a spring washer, and added a 10-24 lock screw, I added the small lever too, not as easy as the other changes.
I think the left side adjuster is usually set near the lowest point, and most of the adjusting for the work day is done with the right side adjuster (the one with the T handle.)
BUT there are three adjustments: Two for the angle and one is the "depth" guide on the front of the machine.
I use the T handle and the depth together, several pieces of scrap are required.
Hey Tom, what angle would you sharpen the blade too?
ReplyDeleteIt's a shallow angle just like a wood chisel
ReplyDeleteA wood chisel is sharpened on one side but the angle is about the same
It's not so much the angle as it is the sharpness, all I can say is that it is leather working sharp; much sharper than kitchen knife.
If you are reworking the old blade and it is very dull then you are in for an hour of grinding with water at hand, I found that I keep a paper towel soaked with water in one hand that way it's grind, wipe, grind, wipe
Good luck
