About 35 years ago when I had my lawn business I bought a Neary blade grinder to sharpen lawnmower blades. Very nice grinder with the ability to set the angle, etc. Looked like this. Sold it with the lawn business when I was 25.
Now I'm thinking about sharpening chipper knives. On my chipper the little hand held touchup deal works about 5-6 times and then it changes the angle enough that the brush no longer feeds. I've given up using it and now use a 60 grit flap wheel on a 4.5" offset grinder. This works better but it is hard to maintain the correct angle. The Neary would make that much easier.
Anybody here sharpen their own chipper knives? Here's the current version of the Neary grinder and the best price I found.

They have a 1hp version for about $150 more.
