  • Blade grinder comprising a blade holder
    Patent number: 8986075
    Abstract: Disclosed is a blade grinder comprising a blade holder that is mounted so as to be rotatable about a horizontal shaft which is mounted so as to be rotatable about a vertical axis, thus allowing the blade to be optimally adjusted relative to a grinding disk.
