Hobart grinder

[twocoughs]

Anybody know how to sharpen the blades on an old hobart grinder? They are the flat ones.

Yes, you can take them to a machine shop and have them ground on a surface grinder. you might also have them make you a spare set.

Do you think I could do it with emery paper on a flat surface? I guess if I screw them up I can always take them to a shop.

Get some 220 and 300 grit sandpaper, lay it on a piece of glass ( something very flat) and rub it around. Go til its sharp, not too difficult.

I don't know what model you have, but those blades are never really sharp even new. I have ground thousands of pounds without sharpening them. Replacement blades can be had for $6 or $8 and is probably the way to go...

The hobart should have a number on it Like the one I have which is a #32 and then you can go to cabelas, or homebutcher.com and get new plate and blades

You cant just sharpen the blade you have to grind the plate flat again,

I found it easier to order new plate and blade
