Thread: circular saw blade sharpener Timbecon vs Forestwest

If the apprentice at the saw shop was given the job, even using an automated industrial sharpener, we would get blades coming back that were so-so, with angles off and too much tooth unnecessarily ground off.

That’s not good. The two places I go to have machines that are “set and forget” and I’ve always had great results. Agree it might not be cost effective for a men’s shed.

Has anyone got or tried the Vevor Circular Saw Blade sharpener?. How does it compare to other brands?.

Other than the colour scheme and water supply tank, it's the same as the Forrest West model I have. It's OK, other than the pawl arrangement, but that is a universal problem across all of these generic units.

If you can work out a better pawl arrangement please come back and share that with us.

You seem to have left us in suspenders, what tune up did you do Riverbuilder?.
