Wood-Mizer introduces Industrial Blade Sharpener

New sharpener designed for industrial blade sharpening environments

INDIANAPOLIS, IN â Wood-Mizer Products Incorporated, the only sawmill maker that also manufactures their own blades, has released the new IS203 Industrial Sharpener for high quality, efficient thin-kerf blade sharpening in production environments.

The IS203 can sharpen from 1â to 3â 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 âRunâ 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 insured with the 1 HP motor used to power the 8â CBN grinding wheel that turns at 4280 rpm. Oil management is simplified with a 2.5 gallon oil reservoir, an oil pump, and a magnet filter tray to keep oil clean. An inboard carbide scraper deburrs the blade teeth after sharpening.

The IS203 Industrial Blade Sharpener retails for $6,250. To see additional information, visit www.woodmizer.com. To speak to a Wood-Mizer sales blades sales consultant, call 800.553.0182.
