Stump Grinder Teeth

DDM · Sep 7, 2005

I found a fellow IN Georgia that will sharpen Standard 1/2" Square grinder teeth for .90 Ea Sounds like a good deal to me considering Carlton is getting 1.30 Each and sending them to this guy anyway.

Stumper · Sep 10, 2005

I found a guy in Utah that will sharpen them for $1 each plus a flat $7.70 shipping for up to 200 teeth. Unfortunately he didn't sharpen them properly (the carbide is sharp but there is no relief-the sharp edge is no longer the leading edge.) Being frugal can be a killer-Buying new teeth for every change makes economic sense-but I keep sharpening-I can't help myself.

Going the retip route myself, 1/2 the cost of new with shipping to florida and they work just as good or better than new. Not sure how many times they can be retipped, I have 2 sets on the way down for their second trip.

Sbusta · Sep 15, 2005

$1500 ,for that grinding machine no thanks thats alot of teeth,just get off your azz and sharpen them

treesurgeon · Sep 23, 2005

how would you sharpen green teeth with that machine. what does a replacement wheel cost.

Sbusta · Oct 5, 2005

Yes there is a wheel to sharpen geen teeth. $1500USD it cost me $3000NZD. I don't have a problem spending money on the very best machinery and maintenance I can. My machinery earns me a nice living and I look after it I run sharp teeth every day I also sharpen teeth for others. I have no doubt I will quickly recover the cost in time saved on jobs and lower maintenance costs. It takes between 10-20 seconds to sharpen a tooth including the steel. I have been using the same set of teeth for the last 5 month sharpening them daily before use, I have replaced 2 teeth due to broken carbide. The set are only about 1/2 worn I have constantly ground out 3 foot diameter stumps 15 inches below ground in under 30 mins with my 27hp grinder. It takes me 20 mins to remove sharpen and replace a set of teeth. I thinks its money well spent. PS there is no dust sharpening with this wheel.

i just use a green wheel on a 8inch bench grinder....its a ball ache but does the job...i like your measured approach sbusta.....sounds like you have it sussed...give us a hint on your grinding set up please!

B-Edwards · Jun 14, 2006

I just bought the wheel from Thorvie and im putting it on my 8 inch grinder. I've had to bore the hole a little larger to fit (no biggie). I've always sharpend my teeth using a green wheel, works ok ,little slow. This thing was costly over $400 shipped here. If its a POS i'll let yall know,but im hoping it works out.

I PMed you the info, since they are not a sponsor of the site.

B-Edwards · Jun 15, 2006

Ok i got the wheel mounted to my grinder and tried it out. So far im really happy with it . I'm going slow on the grinding and it's still 3 times faster than with a green wheel, it doesnt get nearly as hot .I've been told that if you get it to hot the glue holding the diamond dust on melts and the diamonds are lost, otherwise it should last a long time. If any 1 out there has any comments, letem fly, I'm new at using a wheel like this.

Sandvik grinding teeth

Who should I call to have my teeth re-sharpened on my sandvik grinder? If they can't be sharpened, where are the best prices for new teeth? I have a Carlton 4012 w/ Sandvik.

OLD CHIPMONK · Nov 5, 2007

Green wheel on a bench grinder & look up Border City Tool for prices on teeth, pockets & allen head bolts.

MOE · Nov 9, 2007

Does anyone make a wheel for a 4.5" angle grinder that will sharpen carbide? Seems like that would be a quick and easy way to touch them up right on the machine.

Aaction · Nov 9, 2007

I tried a 4" tile cutting disc, diamond, to touch up teeth still on the machine. Worked ok, but not great.
