Stump Grinders - Toro, Terex or Vermeer which is the best?

What happens here

To sharpen dull carbide teeth, a DIY setup is demonstrated using a drill press and a bench grinder. Mount a worn carbide tooth in the chuck of the drill press. Position the drill press so the grinder's sharpening wheel (grinding wheel) aligns with the carbide tip of the tooth. Start the drill press to rotate the tooth and carefully bring the carbide tip into contact with the spinning grinding wheel to sharpen it. The video shows the sharpening process, emphasizing how it restores the cutting edge.

Goal: Restore the sharpness of worn carbide grinder teeth using a DIY method.

Tools and materials

  • Bench Grinder — Sharpening the carbide tip
  • Carbide Teeth — The items being sharpened
  • Delta Drill Press Delta — Holding and rotating the carbide tooth
  • Drill Press Chuck — Securing the carbide tooth in the drill press
  • Hearing Protection — Ear protection
  • Safety Glasses — Eye protection
  • Lubricant/Coolant — To keep the carbide cool during sharpening and prolong its life (not explicitly shown but good practice)

What they say

start printing machine yeah this is this is the Machine you Jimmy rigged up to sharpen the teeth can you actually get these sharpened other places you can send them in but they charge $8 in two so you can get a brand new one for 12 yeah the Aqsa - and you can send them in also it another thing you can do I think this is cheaper than sharpening now is they can retain this - so like this is a molded head and it's two different types of metal here that they mold on to the head of the tooth so you can send this tooth in they can read - they can retype it we just use to sharpen them because it's a lot easier you don't have to mail anything you do whatever you want but we had to build this machines this machine's made up of a drill press that we removed the return spring so normally when you let go of a drill press handle it would line back up but we remove the turn return spring we added some weight here via this bolt so it applies just the perfect amount of down pressure on the tooth to the wheel and then we mounted this bench grinder here rotated it over aligned it perfectly with the drill press and the diamond 3m diamond cutting wheel and you get a stump runner to sharpen one other thing to remember too is that this will get this sharper than a factory - okay because the factory tooth is made in the mold you know they put there is an edge on the tooth then but we're actually putting an edge onto the tooth now so i'ma let tanner run this thing because it's thinner nose with us yeah there's no walking make a drill press do you do and a bench grinder they do yeah it's like magnetic drill process like twenty three hundred dollars so if they want to send me one will make us time grinding to start now then we can make a video
