GREAT PERFORMERS withstand the test of time. Armstrong Band Saw Sharpeners have passed this test and continue to serve saw filers, as they have for more than 100 years. Armstrong machines are prized worldwide for their precision performance, rugged dependability, ease of operation and readily available spare parts. All adjustments are positive and easy to make for many years of fine, trouble-free service.
The StrongArm II Air Clamp features two clamping pressures for increased grinding accuracy and extra sharp saws. The saw is clamped firmly to the carbide faceplate during face grinding while reduced pressure keeps the saw in line against the faceplate as the saw is advanced.
Dual pressure air clamp with pressure release in place of standard on a new/rebuilt sharpener or as a field upgrade kit. Literally “swings down” when grinding, and easily “swings up” to be completely out of the way for loading and unloading. Currently our most popular clamping option!
Use of an air back feed unit delivers better capacity and a smoother, more uniform feed of the saw into the sharpener. The air back feed works independently, so there is less wear and strain on the sharpener itself.
For extremely narrow saw applications, Armstrong provides saw liners that act as a spacer in the saw carriage. This allows the operator to accurately grind single cut saws as narrow as 4″ wide on a No. 4 model sharpener, or 6 1/2″ wide on a No. 6 model sharpener.
The Sidewinder Feed Finger is designed for increased accuracy in profile grinding both Cobalt Chromium Alloy tipped and swaged tooth saws. The SideWinder pivots around the side of the tooth just below the Cobalt Chromium Alloy tip or swaged point, instead of over the top.
To ensure accurate grinding, the SideWinder is easily adjusted to position the feed finger square on the tooth. The swaged tooth version of the SideWinder also independently adjusts the carbide point to feed in the center of the swage pocket.
ShapeUp grinding wheel dressing/ shaping/ truing system for sharper saws, and lower sharpening costs.
Safety Hoods for safer, cleaner and quieter filing rooms. All options can be supplied on brand new Armstrong sharpeners or as field upgrade kits for older Armstrong sharpeners.
