Model WK1170 | Saw Blade Resharpener

WK1170 Band Saw Blade Grinder

A 32 kg bench machine that puts band blade sharpening next to the saw.

WK1170 band saw blade grinder for band blades from 15 to 50 mm wide
Product Overview

What the WK1170 Does

The WK1170 grinds band saw blades from 15 to 50 mm wide with tooth pitch between 2 and 25 mm and thickness up to 8 mm. It runs from a 220 V single phase supply on a 250 W motor, with a 150 x 32 mm wheel turning at 2800 rpm. At 32 kg it is a bench machine, packed at 650 x 480 x 450 mm.

Who it is for: Metal cutting workshops, small sawmills and resaw operators, joinery shops, and maintenance teams that get through band blades faster than an outside service can turn them around.

Key Benefits

Four Reasons Buyers Choose This Model

220 V Single Phase Operation

No 3 phase supply and no electrician. The machine plugs into an ordinary workshop socket.

32 kg Bench Weight

It sits on the bench beside the band saw, so sharpening happens where the blade is rather than in another building.

Tooth Pitch 2 to 25 mm

Fine tooth metal cutting blades and coarse resaw blades are both covered on the same machine.

Wheel Thickness 2 to 10 mm

Wheel thickness is matched to the gullet so the tooth form is restored rather than flattened.

Application Scenarios

Where the WK1170 Is Used

  • Sharpening band blades on metal cutting bandsaws
  • Resaw and horizontal band mill blade maintenance
  • Butchery and food processing band blade sharpening
  • Workshop maintenance where a blade change is a daily event
  • Small blade service operations covering local customers

Problems It Solves

Three Things This Machine Removes From Your Process

Band Blades Are Treated as Disposable

Sharpening a blade that still has body left is far cheaper than replacing it, and a bench machine makes that practical.

No 3 Phase Supply in the Workshop

At 250 W on 220 V single phase this machine works where a larger grinder cannot be installed.

Blade Changes Stop the Saw for Hours

Keeping sharp blades on the shelf, sharpened in house, turns a blade change into a five minute job.

  • Feed pawl indexing checked across a length of blade
  • Grinding head alignment measured
  • Ground teeth inspected for consistent gullet form
  • Electrical safety and insulation check before packing
Customisation Options

What We Change on Request

  • Wheel profile and thickness for your gullet form
  • Alternative voltage for your supply
  • Bench or stand mounting
  • Blade guides for narrow or wide blades
  • Operator documentation in your working language on request

Comparison

How It Compares With Our Other Machines

The WK1170 is the only band blade machine in the range. The circular blade machines do a different job.

Use Guide

Getting Good Parts Off the WK1170

  • Thread the blade through the guides and check the tooth sits square to the wheel
  • Set pitch so the feed pawl engages one tooth per stroke
  • Dress the wheel to match the gullet radius before starting
  • Take light passes so the tooth is not softened by heat
  • Check tooth height consistency after the first ten teeth
  • Wipe the blade and inspect for cracks before returning it to the saw
Questions

WK1170 Questions

What blade widths does it handle?

15 to 50 mm wide, 2 to 25 mm pitch and up to 8 mm thick.

Does it need a three phase supply?

No. It runs on 220 V single phase at 250 W.

Can it sharpen carbide tipped band blades?

Carbide requires a diamond wheel and a careful setup. Tell us the blade specification and we confirm whether this machine suits it before you order.

How is the blade fed through?

A mechanical feed pawl indexes one tooth per stroke, with pitch set on the machine to match the blade.

What does it weigh and how is it packed?

32 kg, packed at 650 x 480 x 450 mm, so it ships as ordinary freight rather than needing a crate on a flat rack.

Is the model number WK1170 or WK1107?

Both appear in our earlier documentation for this machine. Confirm the model reference with us in writing before ordering so the paperwork matches the machine.
