TK sharpener

[Cjross73]

I would like to hear opinions from anyone using or has experience with the timberking auto sharpener.  I'm a bit more than a hobby sawyer but not on the level of MM and others. I don't need the fastest or most efficient setup but want my blades sharp and in-house

It's OK.. does the job but I wouldn't recommend it.  You have to tweak it all the time and the cam just isn't right.

I got mine mounted and tried a few blades.  I think I was trying to grind the whole surface including the gullet.  I am told to just kiss the point front and back to get the point sharp.  I have a setter but have found a poss. sharpening co. near here.  Matt is great and I trust him, but he is a salesman as well.

I would also look at a pink stone.. those black stones .. well they diminish FAST

I bought one and I regretted it. Much less "automatic" than I'd anticipated. I was probably part of the problem too.

Everyone recommended I stay away from drag type sharpeners but I couldn't justify the extra money to myself. In retrospect I should have just sent mine in for sharpening rather than trying to do it myself.
