The Wood-Mizer CBN wheel grinders are designed to sharpen blades with a full plunge grind. With proper
alignment, the CBN wheel is designed to match the blade profile, allowing the blade to be sharpened
properly to continue cutting at high effiecincy. This process gives you a sharp face and sharp edges.
The ReSharp process is designed to take a used, dull blade and bring it back to maximum performance.
There are three basic stages in the ReSharp operation which can be performed in different sequences dependent on the
equipment that you have, the quality of the incoming blades and the final result required.

Grinding:
Cleaning and “de-burring” the blade has to be done manually or using a Wood-Mizer wash tank to ensure
accurate grinding and setting.
When using a Wood-Mizer wash tank, blades are run through a cycle that cleans, deburrs, and washes
the blade in solvent. The wash cycle also includes a set of rollers to pinch the blades to flatten and equalise
the set. This allows for the blades to be properly set during the setting process.
If you do not have a wash tank you must “de-burr” to remove the burr on the inside of the blade that is
created during the grinding process. This is essential in order to get accurate setting on both sides of the
blade. “De-burring” can be done manually by running a piece of hard wood along the tips of teeth on the
“inside” of the blade.
