enjoyed following along. I've shipped you a box of 50 dull slitting saws. no rush. curious: did you lock the indexing head for each tooth or manually hold back pressure against the index finger?

@StefanGotteswinter

Thats 35eur a blade for resharpening. I will include a invoice with the blades. (You would have gotten a discount with 51 blades, sorry) After indexing I just hold the spindle of the indexing head by hand, light pressure against the tooth rest. Clamping/unclamping would take way to long.

a treat to watch as usual, Stefan. Your photography is superlative. Your attention to correct white balance, focus, exposure with brilliant close-ups set your vids a notch above others and make especially enjoyable to watch.

You discipline my processes - thanks for precision and patience in demonstrating

Big fan of the channel. You're a true craftsman and inventor. I like the way you apply your skills and ingenuity to take old Chinese machine tools and essentually make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. Brilliant, when you consider the economics, space saving and having something you end up knowing inside and out.

The only negative rating comes from a saw blade manufacturer.

I am sure your method will produce a perfect saw blade. Just a couple of months ago I hand held a slitting saw and sharpened it with my U2 grinder. Afterward it cut very well in aluminum. Keep on keeping on.

That was great Stefan, I have heard others talk about using another saw for indexing but I have not seen it in practice 👌. Thanks for the mention also. I have not run my cuttergrinder in 3 weeks.

Nicely done. Being able to rebuild a cutter when you need it can save one an enormous amount of heartache when trying to get a job out of the door. Thank you.

Excellent setup and procedure, great detailed macro photography.

After seeing you getting the Deckel S1 t&cg, i got one myself, and boy am i fucking over the moon having your content to watch... I love abom, tony, blondie, prezzo and a few others(robrenz, calem...), but between you and Joe-Bi Wan, i will say that one needs not a proper machinist schooling... For over a decade i have been learning about machining myself from books and aforementioned, but you and joe really are invaluable... Many show a lot and teach quite more, but among you two, its like having a comprehensive machinist instructions that no money could pay to actually grant one the vast field of applicable machining know-how and how not to... Without a proper schooling, you could not ask a machining instructor to teach you what you need, as you dont know what you dont know and dont know what you should need and like to know, but you present us with lessons that are easy to understand, apply and get in one watching of a say 40 minute video, and give hints that like the dovetail cutter making in this manner, are instantly visible and clear in ones mind`s eye without having to see you demonstrate it directly... Thank you, and praise the Lord for the gifts that are brethren like you... Truly the Salt of the Earth and that what makes this world a purgatory and not hell itself...

Very good like always ☺ And additionally there is an intetesting optical illusion in the video: When you show the closeup of the blade (between 1:15 and 3:00) the image seems to switch between the dark blue blade with "sharp" teeth on the right side and another light blue shape with round "teeth" on the left side.

@@brandontscheschlog No it is still there. It is an optical illusion where the eye can see two different shapes that alternate, depending on how long you look at the image. In this case you can see the saw blade in dark blue with sharp teeth. The other shape in light blue color has round round "teeth" that correspond to the gullets of the saw blade and sharp valleys that correspond to the teeth of the blade. It is the negative of the saw blade. Just pause the video at 1:32 and look at the picture. The needle that Stefan holds points at the tip of the saw toth, or at the bottom of the valley of the light blue shape. Look at it long enough and you will see it ☺

maybe this has already been said or you already tried it out, but maybe sandwich the blade between some thicker, larger diameter stock discs/spacers will cut the vibration down. great video btw... as always

Thank's .It's good to know this technique,even if it's something I may never use.Keep the knowledge flowing and we'll all be smarter for it.

they have a slight hollow grind (that's what that snailing like grind pattern is) of course I know you know that but that last one would still put a nice cut on a clamp coller or something looking at the price of the good ones keo or the like I'd say ya good work thanks Stefan cutter grinder work is resourcefulness squared the time you spent on making the Knuth work looks like time well spent

Yeah that was a pretty cool illusion

I used to use saws in the millling machine to cut plates in half since we had no vertical bandsaw in the shop. Nowadays saws this thin are often cut from a blank with a laser then ground.

Envious of you guys and the T/C grinders. It'd be so nice to have that ability in the shop. :-)

Another amazing video

Great video as always.

Thanks Stefan!

t The personal satisfaction of doing something new and it being successful is a winner every time.

Oh that was cool. For over a minute on that first close up shot of the blade, I saw it inversed (thought the blade was above). Looked really bizarre for a cutting blade. Optical illusions are fun.

Great one Stephan!

great video Stefan, It is nice to know if you need to do something like this you can do it.

Great explanation and close ups .Add a VFD and a Tachometer to the mill you will never regret it

3:00 wow, this is an optical illusion, I was looking at this and thought that the gullet was the tooth and it was severely rounded over

Very interesting job Stefan

Thank you for this video, tool grinding is so interesting, I only have a Deckel S0 by now to play with. Maybe in another video you could explain why a drill is design to only plunges versus an end mill. Cheers from France.

Nice universal tool grinder, it has a lot possibilities. On my carbide woodsaws i grind always both sides after the blade has washed in the ultra sonic cleaner. Few weeks ago I has visited München. Be carefull with the side relief of the new tooths, after removing the tooths form old.

If I ever buy a slitting saw blade I now know for sure I will throw it out when it gets dull. Thanks!

Really cool doing the complete re grind. Very interesting. Yes, when you can, make own tooling, maybe get a used electric closed furnace, and use a desiel generator to power it, since current is so pricey, So you can do M2 and M3 and cobalt grades of HHS.

Thanks for another interesting video

👍 great one again

Very neat!

If you are referring to inexpensive Asian import cutters you are probably right, but when you are looking at high quality cutters that sell for 40 or 50 dollars each, they are worth the effort of resharpening.

Last video, you mentioned 'Thread grinding" with the TC grinder, can you make a video showing thread grinding. Thanks for sharing your expert knowledge

For the vibration that you referred to, could you mount several blanks and cut multiple blades at once? If so, what would you charge for a slitting saw blade? Really like your videos, keep them coming!

you can use a hook type index finger for those hard to reach cutters

nice video, with that blade grinding have you thought of a solid spacer on the arbour 2 or 3 mm Smaller than the gullet depth, this would clear the "chatter" of the blade when the force of the wheel comes onto the blade. What you have is in effect a 'high Aspect ratio' part, ie the height is approx. 5-10 times the items thickness, so just like a part on the mill vice, put a support to stop the vibration, making the part a LOW aspect ratio- by the way of the support spacers, this should make the cutting a little better too.

And you don't need to sharpen the front face of the cutting edge, just the top? That's a good time saving. I have a Clarkson T&C grinder but have never tried to sharpen slitting saws although I have a good few that need sharpening. Thanks for this video.

Will you show sharpening end mill flutes ?, saw blade looks great by the way. Alan.

@1:30 I was so confused, because what I was seeing was a solid object in the top left, as opposed to the bottom right. I had to rewind it twice in order to finally see what was going on. Nice optical illusion.

i realize that a lot of your "projects" are you learning something new or finding out if you can do something at all . . . well, when it comes to saw blades . . . you can! the teeth on the completely re-done blade were a bit ugly with what appeared to be a too-small gullet . . . but since the only other person i would trust to do this is Clickspring (and he would hand-file the teeth) i guess i shouldn't complain too loudly . . . and it cuts beautifully! [ i couldn't do that with a machine designed for saw blade manufacturing and a hundred years practice! ]

you need to make some larger spindle spacers for grinding slitting saw blades. to support the slitting saw much farther out to reduce vibration.

Most times it is simply easier and cheeper to toss in the scrap many dull cutters. But to experiment and learn how to will save your ass one Sunday afternoon on a must have it done project. Tool making and grinding is a great skill to have and some days absolutely necessary. A T&C grinder is on my list. has been for a some time.

Wunderschon. Or wonderful Stefan.

If you want to remove vibration put a small container, like a tin can, 1/2 full of sand at the other end of your indicator stand arm. The vibrations from the work will travel down the arm to the can of sand and be dissipated in the sand.

Hi, Interesting video, I am no expert, if you used a thickerwider diameter mandrel to hold the saw blade that may make the blade more rigid and result in les vibration what do you think ?

Is there a reason why you mounted the work in your sample cut along the y-axis instead of the x-axis? Seems like a precarious way of holding it. Very interesting work as always!

My hand on the spindle of the indexing head - Forgot to mention that in the video, after indexing you always back it up against the finger and hold it in that possition during grinding.

Do you mind sharing your brief opinions about value when making these types of videos? Something like, "these slitting saws typically cost $XX each, and sharpening takes around XX minutes, I would only do this if ____. I expect the sharpened saw to last XX% of the life of a new saw". I understand that is not the point you are making here (it is about training yourself & understanding the capabilities of your shop more fully), but I am always curious as someone who does not know much about machining. I just google slitting saw prices & see they're ~$25-50 USD (again, I understand that time etc. can be invaluable, and sometimes you need the saw sitting on your bench to be sharp *now*). Thanks for all the videos Stefan, I really appreciate the effort you put into showing the progression of the process & how things could be improved throughout the job.

Did you kerf(think thats the word-1 tooth goes left other one goes right) the teeth?it will work without it,but it will have a lot of friction from the plate touching material you are slitting .There are pliers for do it on handsaws ,but how to do it on a hss steel?

@StefanGotteswinter

Thats not done on that style of sawblade - they are hollowground, i.e. they get thinner towards the center bore to reduce friction.

@Worrsaint

What you are referring to is called setting the teeth. The kerf is the width of the cut. Your kerf should be in theory the blade thickness plus 2x the set of the teeth. It is hollow ground and has 0 set so the kerf is just the width at the cutting edge.

Hy stefan ! can u maybe give me a Hint where i can get a 0.3 or 0.5mm slitting saw ? preferable in austria or germany ?

why not, grind one tooth, index to next, the sweep back opposite direction, every other tooth, for staggering chip relief even better with slight angle, so then you would have to bring every other one, the slant that axis opposite and grind the other half, or would that kinda staggering relief NOT be good for slit-saw operations?

Could you stack 10 saw blades and sharpen them at the same time ?

You can do this on a D bit grinder also quite easily.

Hi Stefan, passt zwar nicht zum eigentlichem Video aber ich würde gerne mal deine Meinung/Erfahrung zu meiner Geschichte hören. Und zwar habe ich nun schon 2 Wochen lang eine Holzmann ZX 7050 zuhause stehen. Aus deiner Webseite wusste ich schon in etwa was auf mich zu kommt. Maschine komplett zerlegen, reinigen und frisch einölen. Habe ich alles gemacht. Allerdings war ich schon echt schockiert, in welchem Zustand sich die Keilleisten befanden. Eine Seite war schön geschliffen, dagegen die andere Seite war mir der Flex von dem Überresten des Gusses befreit worden und die Oberfläche war dann alles andere als eben, im richtigen Winkel oder glatt wie man es von einer Keilleiste erwarten sollte. Das war bei allen 3 Keilleisten der Fall. Schonmal zum Kotzen. Dann mit meinem möglichen Mitteln die Kleileisten so gut wie ich könnte eingeebnet und geglättet. Danach wieder zusammengebaut. Dabei müssten die Axial Rillenkugellager mit kleinen Fühlerplättchen unterlegt werden damit ich kein Spiel mehr Im Lagerblock habe. Der Lagerblock musste dazu noch in der Y-Achse mit 0,8mm Fühlerplättchen unterlegt werden, damit die Achse Vernünftig läuft. Dann Die Bohrungen der Beiden Lagerblöcke in der X-Achse mussten teilweise auf 12mm Aufgebohrt werden damit die M8 Schraube ohne zu klemmen eingeschraubt werden konnte. Und heute Abend habe ich 400V Starkstrom verlegt. Aber das Ding läuft einfach nicht. Hattest du ähnliche Probleme oder war das bei dir einfacher. Ich hab Langsam echt genug. Mal sehen was der Händler so zurückschreibt, dem habe ich auch schon geschrieben.

I'm lucky, my saw blades never survive long enough to need resharpening! 😂

Oh come on you should regrind them all!

I've never had much trouble sharpening my blades, but setting the teeth properly is a nightmare. I'll never understand why the blades don't come set from the factory. Que sera sera.

Very nice. Now you can start selling your own slitting saws. 😉

It seems to me that all my slitting saws sourced from China run off centre and I suspect that they grind them on arbors that are not truly concentric. I have made several saw arbors but I have never managed to get that constant cutting sound which indicates perfect concentricity. Do you have any comment on my problem saws, do I need to stop buying cheap Chinese saws? Could I regrind them so that they are concentric and cut like yours do you think?

@@StefanGotteswinter I just invested in a binocular microscope with 20x/40x magnification and I was horrified to view my slitting saw teeth as burred, missing parts of the tooth and uneven grinding in the kerfs and clearance faces! At 75 years old I find I need this optical assistance to see the true picture. I have resharpened a 72 x 0.6 x 80 mm diameter saw that was cutting a curved path and checking the results using the microscope. It now cuts a straight line and there is little or no unnerving sound! Thanks for your video - most instructive - I am somewhat wiser now.

why grind the top of the tooth rather than the gullet/cutting part like you do with a chainsaw or normal circular sawblade? grinding the top the tooth will shrink the gullet(less room for swarf) and eventually disapear. You rebuilt sawblade has a much stronger tooth than the template, should help with vibration and harmonics. 👍

Hi Stefan. I hope you haven’t given up on us. Thanks

The first closeup of the saw blade really confused me... First I was like "whoa these teeth are really round 😱" but something looked off...
