THE SMS2003 IS MUCH MORE STURDY THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE FOR THE £££. SETTING UP THE SHARPENER WAS NOT DIFFICULT OR COMPLICATED AS OTHERS HAVE REPORTED. I AM WELL PLEASED WITHIT. ALTHOUGH I HAVE NOT ACTUALLY USED IT TO SHARPEN A BLADE YET I AM VERY CONFIDENT IT WILL WORK FINE. I HAVE REPLACED SEVERAL OF THE SMALL (5 OR 6 mm) BOLTS WITHSOCKET HEAD SCREWS BECAUSE I MUCH PREFER ALLEN KEYS TO SPANNERS WHEN ACCECCABILITY IS DIFICULT. I HAVE MOUNTED THE SHARPENER ON A PIECE OF 3/4'' MELAMINE AND PROPOSE TO CRAMP THIS TO THE BENCH WHEN IN USE.

I would suggest you check this item out on You Tube before you purchase. The machine is VERY difficult to set up, instructions are pretty useless, you require a magnifying glass to read as print is rather small. After several attempts I decided to throw away the instructions and manually set up the machine using angles from a brand new stock blade and finally got to sharpen a blade, check out blade angles on the internet and set up the machine using blade manufacturers settings and you should manage to get a reasonably sharp blade. I would not purchase this machine again now that I have tried it, think it is probably imported and put in a Sealey box, you would do better to spend your money on new blades.

I bought this because I had several blades to sharpen and thought this would be a cheaper option than sending the blades away. Up to now I have sharpened 3 blades and all have turned out OK. I read in reviews that setting up was tricky which I didn't really think it was after all there is a certain amount of precision needed with any tool like this, one thing I did find poor is the knob for tightening the arm which carries the blade, you can't tighten it with enough force to hold the blade rigid so I replaced it with a nut and used a spanner to tighten it, problem solved.

It does work but it's not a roughed set up.I have only sharpened one blade it was 355mm dia which after adjusting the set up 10 minutes iy did clean the face of the teeth .my blade needs the clearance angle ground which this machine cannot do with out some modifications as I Am a welder fabricator i will do latter the motor is very good but the frame is not solid but at £75.00 it worked .as a pro machine would be 4ft tall and 100 kg and £2000 second hand this has a place.

Basically a good product, which I have improved using some simple modifications. I replaced the original nuts bolts and spanners with other parts. In order to sharpen larger blades I remounted the pivot point for the support arm for holding the blade - however still happy with the product. it takes a little patience to get used to and comfortable the product but it works nicely - very satisfied. An economical answer to sharpening saw blades.
