GREAT PERFORMERS withstand the test of time.  Armstrong Band Saw Sharpeners have passed this test and continue to serve saw filers, as they have for more than 50 years. Armstrong machines are prized worldwide for their precision performance, rugged dependability, ease of operation and readily available spare parts. All adjustments are positive and easy to make for many years of fine, trouble-free service.

Enhanced Grinding Wheel Arbor Assembly
Larger motors, one-piece arbor, heavy-duty pillow block bearings and non-slip, low-vibration poly-V belt drive all contribute to precision grinding for extremely sharp saws and less chance of burning that can lead to cracks.
Improved Heavy-Duty Rocker Arm Assembly
These stronger rocker arms increase the life of your grinding wheels and provide a much smoother grind on your saws.  This improved design helps achieve sharper saws with less chance of gullet cracks.
Carbide Faceplate
An oversized, self-cleaning carbide faceplate is standard on all new band saw sharpeners. Carbide strips are set out from the steel backing plate for a wear surface that stays clean and can be reground.
UHMW Cams
Armstrong sharpeners are designed to use up to three pairs of cams, allowing the operator to change tooth designs simply by moving a lever.  Each pair of cams is individually adjustable to enable the filer to produce a precise tooth shape.  One pair of cams is supplied with each sharpener.
Adjustable Post Brackets
For each machine, Armstrong provides both manual and automatic post brackets. Automatic post brackets raise or lower together with the saw carriage as the saw height is adjusted.
Safety Guards
Safety guards, covering the pulley, belts and the grinding wheels, are standard on all sharpeners.

• Rugged steel and cast-iron construction
  Durability to deliver years of precision performance
• Extra power for heavy grinding
  2 HP grinding wheel motors supplied on No. 4 sharpeners equipped for three phase current; 1 HP grinding wheel motors for No. 2 sharpeners or when single phase electrical current is specified for No. 4 sharpeners and 1 HP action motors for heavy grinding and large saws.
• Improved grinding wheel arbor assembly
  The grinding wheel arbor is machined from a single bar; there are no pressed joints to loosen or run out. Tapered roller bearing pillow blocks are now standard on all No. 4 Armstrong sharpeners. Poly-V belt drive to grinding wheel arbor for low vibration, no-slip grinding.
• Multiple, over-sized UHMW cams
  Smoother action, longer wear and quick, simple change-over betweem tooth shapes.
• Lower overall costs
  Precision grinding saves on grinding wheels, spare parts, and saw consumption!

StrongArm II Power Clamp
	The StrongArm II Air Clamp features two clamping pressures for increased grinding accuracy and extra sharp saws.  The saw is clamped firmly to the carbide faceplate during face grinding while reduced pressure keeps
the saw in line against the faceplate as the saw is advanced.

No. 75 Air Back Feed Unit
Use of an air back feed unit delivers better capacity and a smoother, more uniform feed of the saw into the sharpener.  The air back feed works independently, so there is less wear and strain on the sharpener itself.

Safety Hoods
Safety Hoods for safer, cleaner and quieter filing rooms.

ShapeUp
ShapeUp grinding wheel dressing/ shaping/ truing system for sharper saws, and lower grinding costs.

SideWinder Feed Finger
	The SideWinder Feed Finger is designed for increased accuracy in profile grinding both Cobalt Chromium Alloy tipped and swaged tooth saws.  The SideWinder pivots around the side of the tooth just below the Cobalt Chromium Alloy tip or swaged point, instead of
over the top.  To ensure accurate grinding, the SideWinder is easily adjusted to position the feed finger square on the tooth.  The swaged tooth version of the SideWinder also independently adjusts the carbide point to feed in the center of the swage pocket.

Narrow Saw Liner
For extremely narrow saw applications, Armstrong provides saw liners that act as a spacer in the saw carriage.  This allows the operator to accurately grind single cut saws as narrow as 4" wide on a No. 4 model sharpener, or 6 1/2" wide on a No. 6 model sharpener.

All options can be supplied on brand new Armstrong sharpeners or as field upgrades for older Armstrong sharpeners.

* Not supplied when optional 75 Air Back Feed Unit is ordered.

** Two No. 13 Post Brackets supplied when optional 75 Back Feed Unit is ordered.

*** With saw liner, a No. 4 can handle saw widths of 4" to 14.5", a No. 6 can handle saws 6-1/2" to 16" wide.

NOTE: The No. 6 Sharpener has been discontinued.  All spare parts, including cams, SideWinder, StrongArm and Post Brackets are available.
