Titman :: Hints for safe grinding of router cutters

Info

The following points must be noted when re-sharpening Titman TCT Router Cutters.

Avoid overheating the tip as this will cause cracking and the brazed joint is liable to fail, (overheating can be caused by using the incorrect wheel).
We recommend only grinding the face of the cutter, unless the edges have been chipped.
A flair-cup wheel should be used for grinding the face of the cutter, and a dish wheel for grinding the outside edge.
After several re-sharpens the steel backing may need relieving to bring the clearance back to the same amount as when the cutter was new.
This prevents burning and rubbing and allows for fast teed rates. Titman's will be pleased to carry out this grinding operation if any problems occur in this area of re-sharpening.
Any problems with grinding router cutters please contact Titman Tip Tools or your diamond wheel supplier, who will advise grit size and the correct bond.
Check extraction meets COSHH Regulations.
