mighty mite band blade sharpener
« on: April 14, 2011, 01:15:43 PM »
anyone own a mighty mite band sharpener that could give me some tips on set up or that might have an owners manual?  I have never used a sharpener or set one up.  Mine needs a sharpening wheel and I was hoping to get a little info on this machine before I started buying things for it.  Thanks for any help.

Do you have a picture of it?  I have been told its the same as the Hudson but dont know if that is true or not.

This is what the Hudson band saw sharpener looks like and I assume if yours is very similary you could contact Hudson and get what you need.

I have recently seen a video of a sharpener built by Wright Machine and tool (WT) that looks identical to the Mighty Mite sharpener.  someone told me that Wright was the ones that built the Mighty mite but the sales rep from WT said they didn't however the grinding wheels from WT will work on the mighty mite I know this now first hand.  I have yet to determine if the cams will interchange also, but I will continue to investigate.

do you know if the wright sharpener has different cams for different pitch or is the profile cam the only one that is different.

I guess a better question would be can the tooth advancement arm be adjusted to back up farther to drop into the next tooth or is this controlled completely by the cam.  My problem is the profile seems to be correct but the advance will not drop into the next tooth to advance the blade and I don't see an adjustment for this.  I can adjust how far the arm pushes the tooth but not the travel distance between the forward and backward motion of the arm.
