| "Trues" the
Grinding Wheel |
| The ShapeUp maintains the wheel rim
concentric to the grinding wheel arbor. The wheel grinds with the entire periphery
for faster stock removal, better finish and less vibration. |
| Same Gullet Shape
Every Sharpening |
| The wheel is shaped exactly the same every
time, so saw after saw is ground exactly the same. Full sized wheels are shaped the same
as worn wheels. The night shift will shape the wheel exactly the same as the day shift.
The newest filer will be able to shape the wheel exactly to the head filer’s specs. |
| Saves Time and
Reduces Grinding Expenses |
| Saws can be sharpened in less time with a wheel that has
been shaped and trued with a ShapeUp. Grinding wheels and saws both last longer.
Expect up to 1/3 more resharpenings from every Cobalt Chromium Alloy tipping or swaging. Cobalt Chromium Alloy
expenses may be reduced by 25%. |
Actual units shipped will be the latest design which may vary from illustration. |

| Makes for a Cleaner,
Safer Work Area |
| Only a thin layer of abrasive (about
.001" or .025 mm) is dressed away with each pass of the diamond. Less dust is
released into the filing room for a safer, cleaner work area. The resinoid ceramic wheels
from Armstrong seem to give the best results. |
| Versatile Performance |
| Both metric and American wheel sizes can
be shaped with the Armstrong ShapeUp. No cams or templates are required. The shape can be
changed and then "locked in," so different shapes and different wheel
thicknesses can be used. Even frost notches can be added later with a diamond
dressing tool. |
| To Order |
| Specify model number and hand of the
Armstrong sharpener. Each ShapeUp comes complete with a wheel shaper, replaceable diamond
point, heavy-duty wheel guard and installation and operating instructions in both video
and printed formats. A dial indicator and straight edge are helpful for proper
installation. A star-type dresser is recommended for "sharpening" or
"opening" the wheel after shaping and truing. |
