Abstract
A sharpening device for use with a continuous flexible band cutting blade. The sharpening device includes a pair of rotating abrasive wheels positioned on opposite sides of the cutting blade. The rotating wheels are mounted to a pivot plate on either side of a pivot point between the pivot plate and an assembly arm. The pivot plate is rotatable about the pivot point through the application of a pressure device to the pivot plate. By rotating about the pivot point, the pivot plate moves the abrasive wheels into contact with the cutting blade to facilitate sharpening. The assembly arm is fixed about its upstream end, while the downstream end is movable to adjust the position of the abrasive wheels.
