For years in the solid wood processing industry,
wise advice has been repeated for generations: "The
best moulder in the world can't fix bad tooling".
That old adage is still true today. Even a moulder
with the precise tolerances of Weinig machines can't
match an old profile if the knives are wrong. That's
why the Rondamat Series has grown to be the
most popular profile knife grinders in the world, by
a large margin.
Knife geometry is a very complicated thing. In the
old days, complicated formulas for hook, blade, back
clearance, side clearance and knife extension angles
made the task of making and regrinding knives very
difficult and required years of practice.
Weinig changed all that. Now you have a template
that matches the profile, and the Rondamat
does all the rest. Put the knives in the head,
follow the template, and all the rest is done for
you.
Rondamat Series grinders come in a variety
of models. From the simple Rondamat 168 to
the user-customized Rondamat 960 to the
automatic Rondamat 980, both profile and
straight knives can be ground quickly and accurately
for precise profile repeatability. And with very
little training or experience.
Any type of knife material can be handled in your
own shop with a Rondamat. High speed steel,
stellite, carbide and many other materials are no
problem. Even face grinding of solid heads and
re-grinding of fingerjoint cutters. There is a
Rondamat made for what you need.
