Title: BMS 250 CBN Sharpener
Post by: nell6355 on February 23, 2025, 10:01:44 PM
I'm considering a BMS 250 wood-mizer sharpener.  I do need to sharpen blades for one or two local sawyers to help pay for it.  I have several hundred blades of my own ready to re-sharpen.   My log yard is covered up with trees blown down in Helene.  Many of them got flooded and have fine river sand in the bark.  My bft per blade is not good right now.  I might need a hundred blades just to get through my inventory of logs.  Time to do something.  Yes. I'm already cleaning the logs as best I can.

Two questions. 
 1. I've heard the CBN sharpeners produce the most consistent, sharpest results.  Is this generally true? 

2.  I primarily need to sharpen Munkfors blades and Ripper 37s.   I need a source for CBN Wheels for those blades also.  Does anyone have a source that can make good quality Wheels for the BMS 250?
