Is there a way to sharpen carbide teeth while still on the cutter wheel? We have a SGX-60 stump grinder mounted to a skidsteer.
If so how?

Not that I've ever seen or heard of Tony. . . I could be wrong though. I think ya got to take them off to replace/sharpen them.
I've thought about using a diamond cup wheel on an angle grinder to do touch ups, but don't know how long the wheel would last and make it affordable.

On average...
how many hours of use are you getting before you change out your teeth?
I should say, hours of quality cutting?

Sometimes a few days, sometimes one stump. Depends on the amount of rock, which can vary considerably around here. And when I do find rock, it's usually large granite cobble.

It was some time ago when I purchased a disk for a hand held grinder designed to sharpen stump teeth while still on the machine. I don't know if I can find the website but if I do I will repost. Anyway...I didn't like it. I never could get them sharp. I gave up and just went back to the way that I do now. In the field if a break off a tooth (carbide) I use a battery operated impact wrench to remove the teeth and replace. I keep a good supply of teeth in my truck. If I'm at my shop I use the air impact. I did have a gas compressor in my truck that I used but that was stolen from my truck while I was doing a back yard stump.
