Abstract: An arrangement (1) including a tool (7) and a feeler device (11) is movably guided along the edge of a workpiece (5) so that the workpiece is machined, for example, trimmed, along the edges (3) of the workpiece by the tool. The arrangement (1) can be adjusted perpendicularly to the plane of the workpiece, whereas the feeler device, which is designed for example as a Bernoulli disk (13), has a constant distance from the workpiece, so that the tool also is always guided at the correct position relative to the edge of the workpiece. Thus even for workpieces deviating from the target position, for example workpieces that are not level, the tool is always guided in such a way that the tool is correctly oriented relative to the center plane of the workpiece and, for example, the trimming of the borders at the edges of the workpiece is performed reliably.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electric sharpening machine for chain saws capable of correctly sharpening the teeth at any number of desired cutting angles within a given range; this system according to the invention allows rotation of an upper portion of the saw, including the motor and the grinding wheel. The chain to be sharpened can be progressed and automatically gripped by the lowering of the grinding wheel into a grinding position. The chain may be turned 180° for grinding opposing teeth when the upper part is rotated into a complimentary position. In this way it is possible to let the abrasive grinding wheel sharpen the saw teeth, both in case of left and right teeth, with rotation occurring towards the inner part of the teeth and opposite to the position of the operator for avoiding ejecting dangerous sparks and materials at the operator.

Abstract: A hand held sharpener comprises a housing that has three sharpening stones having part cylindrical outer surfaces. A center stone is supported on the housing, and second and third stones are positioned on opposite sides of the center stone with axes of the peripheral surfaces of all the stones generally parallel. The stones axes lie on a plane but the spacing of the axes of a left stone is slightly different from the spacing between the axes of the center stone and the right stone, to form two different sharpening angles where the surfaces of the stones overlap. The configuration permits having a two stage sharpener with three stones that are held in a convenient housing for mounting and use. Both sides of a knife edge are sharpened simultaneously as the knife is drawn across the stones at the overlap region.
