“I've been milling for about 10 years, up until recently I had a very reliable guy that sharpened/set my blades, due to health conditions he could no longer provide the service. My hand was forced and after reading reviews, comparing different manufacturers, I settled on the Sabertooth sharpener and setter. I can honestly say I am extremely pleased with both pieces of equipment. They are very well built, easy to assemble and use. I highly recommend both, you won't be disappointed. As an example, I can set a 158 inch blade, (180 tooth ) in less than 5 mins. With little to no effort, it is accurate and repeatable, the sharpener runs at a rate of 18 teeth/min. Once you have it set up, you just have to monitor, there is a timer that shuts off the feed and grinder when the blade had gone completely around.
I would like to add that I was very nervous about spending that amount of money, buying it on line, sight unseen, wondering if I was up to the challenge. We'll from my experience i can tell you to relax, if you have a bit of mechanical ability, can read and follow instructions, you have nothing to worry about. My only anxiety came from the long delivery time, other than that I am very pleased with the equipment, should do me out :)”
“Easy to set up easy to use I have a woodland mill blade sitter i’m going to throw it in the trash the Sabretooth Blade sharpener and blade setter gets 10 out of 10 stars for me”
“The automatic sharpener works great. A lot of small adjustments, but that helps to customize my blades.
I suggest only sharpening one blade, then try it out. That way you can adjust the sharpener. My first blade didn't cut at all. Figured I took too much off and needed to angle the left side of the stone (I was making the tooth flat).”
“In my opinion, it is the best sharpening tool for sawmill owners. Once adjusted it is easy to use. The overall quality is great. The only thing that I would like is to have a 120v version”
