severe rust is present,
or the blade has tooth spacing uncommon to Wood-Mizer blades (i.e., a
competitor’s blade).
2.12 Operation Overview
Use the following steps to guide you through sharpener operation.
1. Adjust the blade clamp for the blade you will be sharpening.
2. Install a grinding wheel if necessary, then install the blade.
3. Adjust face grind and depth grind.
4. Activate the oil flow.
5. Increase the feed rate to a moderate speed. How fast you can grind will be determined
by how much material you are removing from the blade. If a heavy grind is required, it is
best to go around the blade lightly twice rather than try to grind heavily once.
6. After about ten teeth have been ground, mount the orange-painted magnet right behind
the blade wiper. (See Section 2.11.) If you use the BMS200, BMS250 EC, mark the start
of sharpening with a sticker or marker.
7. Check the depth grind two to three times during the blade sharpening. Adjust as
necessary.
IMPORTANT! After any adjustment, always restart the blade and sharpen in its entirety to
ensure symmetry.
2.13 Shutoff
The sharpener will automatically shutoff when blade has been entirely sharpened (not in
BMS200, BMS250 EC Version)
Inspect the blade. Repeat sharpening process if necessary. Blades with a bad profile or
those which are badly in need of sharpening may have to be ground more than once.
