NEVER Throw Out A Dull Blade Again!
What happens here
Before grinding new teeth onto an oscillating multi-tool blade, you must first remove or 'snub' the existing dull teeth. Insert the oscillating blade into the sharpener with the teeth facing the smaller grinding wheel, ensuring it's positioned correctly in the slot. Turn on the sharpener using the switch. Carefully press the blade against the grinding wheel and move it slightly to grind away the old teeth until the edge is smooth and even. This step creates a clean surface for the new teeth to be formed.
Goal: Remove existing dull teeth from the oscillating blade.
