SAW TECHNOLOGY – TECHNOLOGY REVIEW
The IS203 can sharpen from 25- 75 mm (1-3 in) wide band blades. Adjustable arms and a blade support kit make it easy to accommodate various blade lengths. The control station has a user-friendly interface, and allows the operator to set up the blade to be sharpened and then set to ‘Run’ mode. The tooth counter stops the sharpener when the blade is finished sharpening. Variable grinding speeds can be set. The front view window and interior LED lighting allows the operator to check in on the sharpening progress.
Quality and efficient grinding is
ensured with the 1 hp motor used to power the 200 mm (8 in) CBN grinding wheel that turns at 4,280 rpm. Oil management is simplified with a 9.5 litre oil reservoir, an oil pump, and a magnet filter tray to keep oil clean. An inboard carbide scraper deburrs the blade teeth after sharpening.
Wood-Mizer, founded in 1982, is the leading manufacturer of portable band sawmills and offers an extensive line of portable and industrial mills, resaws, and edgers covering a wide range of cutting capabilities. The company has sold more than 50,000 sawmills worldwide. IFI
