This has been my favorite video. I learned a lot today. I bought a big drill press at an auction two weeks ago for 150.00 and mounted my grinder on it and bought a diamond wheel but haven't used it yet. I am glad you shared all those safety tips because I am a little scared of using it to be honest with you. I really want to see a video on the drill press mount to see if I did it right. Thanks again!
I enjoy your videos. I am recently retired as a LEO. I have been purchasing equipment to start a stump grinding business. The tips you provide are informative.
Just changed teeth on my 630B vermeer, just a tip, harbor freight is currently running a deal on a Pittsburgh brand 25 inch breaker bar for $14.99, I had 1 bolt so tight I put a 5 foot long cheater pipe on the end of that breaker bar, completely expected it to break but it didn't and it broke the bolt loose, great $15.00 investment. It saved the day! Enjoying the vids here in southeast Kansas.
Been grinding for a couple of years but not full time. I stack my stumps and rent a machine. I have been watching your videos and they are really helpful. Thanks for your honesty and for making the videos. Very helpful for the guys getting started. Honestly, your video where you explain your pricing and how you get jobs as a subcontractor gave me the insight/confidence to reach out to local tree guys and the amount of work O got exploded. I pick up the first machine I'm buying on Friday!
I am learning a lot. This video is very valuable to me. Thank you very much. Rick Gravatt from Sticks and Stumps Residential Services. I have watched many videos several times.
I have just got a stump grinder about a month ago, been watching you for about the same amount of time, Thank you so much for this video, you have already helped me out so much!
I'm buying a Toro STX-38 today, they look like great machines. this channel certainly helps spread some of that tribal knowledge. Thanks Mustang Rebuilder!
Thanks boss. Im a landscaper, driveway restoration company. I have been mulling over buying a stump grinder for 3 years. The grass biz is ruined as you know..LOL Im buying a new 40 hp bandit next week. Your videos have helped me so much. You are a good man and I cant thank you enough. We think a lot alike and are the same age. Good luck
Awesome video... I'm new to stump grinding and seeing the video really helps me understand what and how to sharpen teeth... Thanks again for your help and have a great day...
Ya it is amazing how dust can get you even outside! Have you ever had to grind the elongated teeth,the ones that are more the shape of a horse track. If so, is it done even remotely the same way because of the length of the tooth?. I have the bench grinder, and the drill press tools already when needed just going to grab a green wheel to start but the tooth being not round I am thinking it would be different but hey I figured I would pick your brains on the subject first if that's cool brother! Thanks for all your tips btw, saving me alot of lessons learned the hard way! Appreciate it
Love the videos I'm not a pro I have a small home owner stump grinder I have lots of trees some die mowing sucks when there are stumps mess up mower blades I don't take them deep I just grind below surface but hitting rocks and dirt gets expensive even on home owner grinders thanks again
Great videos sir, what a great way to save money on teeth, problem is for me is that i run from 7 till 5 pm then have to go look at tree jobs amd stump jobs till dark, i have been wanting to sharpen my own teeth forever, i dont have the time, so i just buy a ton of new teeth and run! Love watching your videos, and now that i have freat guys working for me , think im going to start sharpening my own! Thanks for the kick in the u know where! God bless
I understand ..I do it on rainy days and I also send them out to be retipped at www.wit-sonquality.com/services/ mention me Mustang rebuilder (youtube) or Adams stump grinding and get a small discount ..hope that helps
Thanks, I have been spoiled and had a buddy that worked at a shop who sharpened them for me. He no longer works there, so Im going to have to do it myself now.
I know this is a 3 year old video but I’m glad I saw it at least for the safety tips, haven’t thought about the dust factor and contaminants that come from these teeth and green wheel, just bought one and will be sharpening mine soon, thanks
Hello, this is how I sharpen my green teeth as well. I typically purchase throughout the season and sharpen buckets & buckets over the winter. I use a full masked respirator and have a vacuum near the wheel to suck up the nasty dust. I run vacuum for about 30 minutes, stop grinding for about 30 minutes (allows vacuum to cool down) and repeat the process. I use a gallon milk container and cut a section out to form around wheel & stick the vacuum end (just the hose) into the containers spout. Masked respirator and hearing protection are a must. Vacuum contains the mess and easy cleanup. Thanks brother for the video’s
Great Video on how to resharpen the grinder teeth. The wheel you showed was a 100 grit diamond Wheel D1A1 4"x1/4"x1 1/4". There are numerous grit options on ebay for this same D1A1 wheel. Thanks for the video.
Hi and thanks for the video. Your videos at very honest, detailed and you are cool. I’m thinking of going into the stump grinding business. If you were living in DK you could certainly be my friend. Thanks again👍👍👍. Allan, Vedbæk, Denmark
Nice video as usual. Again learning from someone who has lots of experience. When I use a grinder or sander,, as well as using the mask and safety glasses. I have a regular fan that is blowing on me as well as the grinder. This way the dust doesn't lay around.
Hey! Been waiting on this one for sure. Another great video for us rookies out here grinding our way to some cash. Thanks for your time and help. God bless brother.
Hey buddy. Been watching your videos from England , after I got myself a bandit hb20 in July. Been running the grinder to help grow my tree and fencing business. I got myself a silicon carbide wheel for my bench grinder , however the wheels thickness is the same as my green tooth 700. Because of this I can’t get a groove/dip onto the tooth. Although it leaves a nice edge it’s more 90 degree / a flat surface rather than the dip / bowl shape that the tooth comes in. I’m wondering is this a deal breaker , before I go and sharpen a full set is it worth getting a thinner wheel I see you recommend a 1/4” diamond wheel to really get in to that groove on the tooth. If I was to sharpen each tooth and give it a nice edge but not angled is that a waste of time ? It seems difficult to find diamond tipped wheels that aren’t crazy thin over here, they’re all designed for cutting tiles and maybe 2-4 mm thick. And the silicon carbide wheel is the only one I could find so may be difficult finding a thinner wheel in uk. Any advice appreciated buddy. If my explanation is unclear I could send pictures of the tooth next to the wheel so you can see my issue if you send an email address. Any advice appreciated and have a great new year buddy Pat !
Diamond wheel is the way to go but having the sharp edge ok also ... years ago many professional sharpeners would sharpen till flat and they still worked ... try alli express or ebay for the diamond wheel
silica dust leads to black lung, so great job pointing that out. anywhere there is sand you will find silica dust but the fine particles are what gets you so where your mask. what grit wheel is that?
@@mustangrebuilder thanks bud. 6 hrs more research and the only thing I'm left wanting is to see your drill press setup. Happy veterans day. Peace and love.
Hope this finds you well. If you had the chance to do the second video for the "Not the poor man's way" video with the drill press, etc. Could you point me to it? Please and thanks!
I just purchased the 1/4" thick diamond wheel like mustang rebuilder showed on the video, The wheel is 4" in diameter and unfortunately this is too large to sharpen 500 series greenteeth. The wheel should be 2 or 3" in diameter to fit the concave of the teeth
Hey thanks for the info. How many hours on the teeth before you sharpen. I’m talking average wear that just rounds the cutting edge a bit. Not rocks and crap.
Whats going on Brother.... got a request on a video. Could you tell us a story on how to handle when you have to eat a job. ( basically make,nothing on it, and even lose $ on it)... Im curious to hear your advice, because I imagine in these cases you have to look @ the big picture especially if this client has blessed you in the past & has the potential of continuing to do so. Thanks in advance & God bless!!!!!
green wheels normally don't list the grit but a diamond wheel does and should be around 100 grit and yes you can do a chipped tooth but you have to hold steady and light touch
So uh did just get my 1/4" Diamond grinding wheel In from Amazon. As I sharpen my teeth for my stump grinder it looks like it is putting more of a flat surface on than a sharpened edge. I am grinding very softly not putting too much pressure. With that being sad if you think I am doing something wrong please let me know thank you.
What series teeth are you trying to sharpen. It did the same thing when I tried to sharpen the 500 series, I am no looking for a smaller diameter wheel
I just purchased the exact 4" diamond wheel, unfortunately I cannot use this wheel on the 500 series greenteeth, the wheels diameter is too large to fit the concave of the teeth, Looks like it works with the 700 and 900 series
@@tlr85 I am considering selling my new 4" diamond wheel which I just purchased, I have no use for it since it is too large of a diameter to sharpen the 500 series teeth
Did you ever try to sharpen 500 series with that wheel, I purchased the same wheel from ebay, the 4" diameter of the wheel will too large for the concave portion of the 500 series, The tooth loses its concave due to the wheel being 4" a 2" wheel looks like it would work for the 500 series.
@@mustangrebuilder Yeah, I have a small DR stump grinder with the 500 series, When I try to sharpen the 500 series red greenteeth with the 4" diamond wheel I lose most of the concave of the tooth, I just ordered a smaller diameter wheel which should fit the radius of the 500 series. If this works I will be selling the 4" diamond wheel Thank you
