With the help of a simple device, which is a carriage on the platform, you can quickly sharpen cutters on wood. As a grinding machine, a small grinder with a diamond disk is used.

The advantage of this device is its simplicity. For the manufacture of the platform and carriage, you can use available materials (for example, plywood). Moreover, it is possible to sharpen cutters with both straight and inclined edges.

First of all, it is necessary to cut out the base from the plywood sheet, on which the rotary stand itself with a small grinder will be mounted, as well as the carriage on the furniture rails. the carriage moves freely back and forth.

The main stages of work

A plywood stand is mounted on the carriage, which is mounted using an aluminum U-shaped profile. Due to this, the stand can be moved left-right. The result is a very convenient base for sharpening the cutter.

On the stand itself from plywood in front, a mount for the cutter is installed, which is adjustable at the required angle. Just before sharpening, the bearing must be removed from the cutter so as not to damage it with a diamond blade.

We set the limit stops, after which you can begin to work. In detail about how to make a simple home-made device for sharpening mills on wood with your own hands, you can see in the video on the site.
