1940's elu sharpener

[Cuchilo]

I picked this machine up for £50 . I didnt really want it but i'm glad i got it and worked out how to use the planer sharpener section .
It also does saw blade , bandsaw blades and spindle tooling .
Just a bit of fun .

I never even knew I needed one of those until now.

I'll give you 55 for it.

Well done. Just hope 'er indoors approves.
Everyone needs a Elu sharpener.

£50 well spent. Hours of endless fun ahead. How does it do saw blades?

 

[slowmotion]

Oh! Well done. That's a fine bit of kit. How much does it weigh?

Quite light compare to my other machines . Most of it is cabinet .
The saw blade sharpening is a science . The levers on the front do pitch and rake , the lever on the top turns the saw blade tooth by tooth . Not worked it out yet and not really needed with todays saw blades . While its out of its dust cover i may try and rig it up with a saw blade just to see it working but i dont want to upset the settings i have right now so .................

Nice! Elu made (make?) quality tools.
One of their routers made way over estimate at a local auction recently; the buyer still got a bargain, I reckon.

It’s quite sad that carpenters these days buy a new saw for each job. Costs £15, use it for 2 weeks, then put it in the skip.
