Especially adapted to small fine tooth circular saws used for smooth end trimming. Supplied with direct connected motor drive as shown.

Our No. 16 automatic rip and cut-off saw sharpened is designed and built with the direct view to meet the extreme requirements in the production of accurately shaped, finely spaced, trimmer saw teeth for cutting smooth ends on lumber for end marking and modern finish.

Adjustments are positively and conveniently made for different spaces and shapes of teeth and for saws of different sizes.


IMPORTANT FEATURES OF THE NO. 16 SHARPENER
  • Even Feeding Qualities
    Our sharpened stands at the front and alone, in this respect, as it FEEDS ABSOLUTELY EVEN.
    The grinding wheel comes down and contacts the saw with a smooth, easy movement, touching each tooth lightly and evenly, just enough to sharpen it, and no more.
  • The Enclosed Feature
    We have designed our machine so the principal working parts, which constitute the action of the machine, are completely enclosed, yet easy access to the interior parts is provided by removable steel doors.
  • Saw Clamp
    There is a provision for adjusting the tension on the saw clamp so that it holds the saw properly where clamped in place and means is provided for swinging it out of the way to permit the saw to be put on and off without any difficulty.
  • Cam Rollers
    The ordinary type of cam roller, which has caused much trouble in the past, is replaced on our machine with a high grade ball bearing. The result is a very smooth, easy running, durable roller that is extremely accurate.
  • Bearings
    Anti-friction bearings are used throughout with adequate provision for proper sealing to keep out dust and dirt. Ball bearings are provided on the grinding wheel arbor and they are of ample size to enable extreme precision grinding.
  • Setting for Size of Saw
    In adjusting is provided with a slideless head for the grinding wheel, mounted on rockers which are frictionless, having no sliding surfaces to gather grit and quickly wear loose. It is designed to automatically prevent any side play and provide a substantial steady support for the grinding wheel.
  • Changing the Tooth Outline
    Provision is made for quick change from one tooth outline to another without disturbing the relation of the feed cam and the wheel cam, so that it is convenient to change from one to the other without making numerous adjustments.
