Yup....that's what I was remembering. Guess lots of sawmill towns had sharp-shops to keep things going.

Well, you can use the motor, one special note about grinding disc's, I have now discovered that a harder disc is the way to go, as it lasts a whole lot longer, and in the long run it is cheaper.
If I was going to use a chainsaw sharpener, and didn't want to rig up another motor for a drive? Then I would just go with a hand crank system, which if you think about it, it would probably be easier to build!
The different parts of a bandsaw blade pretty much dictates that you do at least a face of tooth and gullet grind.
I'm running about a 10 degree face of tooth grind as I cut both cedar and fir, cedar being soft and fir being a hardwood and for some reason it works for what I'm doing. I have also gone from using .035 blades to .042 thickness blades and the sharpener still works as it should.
