"He who marches out of step hears another drum." ~ Ken Kesey
Ok, I just purchased 12 feet of 55/90/55 fimor squeegee blade for a cost of $300 plus. After crying about the cost, it has me looking a squeegee sharpeners. I don't want to shell out mega bucks for a sharpener. I ran across a DIAMOND-Eez Kit. It says it's for manual printers. My question is, what would stop you from sharpening automatic squeegees with it and has anyone had any experience with that model. I know you have to assemble it but it's $445.00 compared to many I've seen for $1000 and up.
I've got a like new short cut I would be willing to sell. We've recently gone to the qwik clamp m&r system so we do not sharpen blades anymore. I have two different diamond wheels for it. If interested pm me with an offer. Less then 5 hrs of use on it.
I'm pretty sure the kit you're looking at requires some DIY--the picture is misleading. The short cut does 19", the next model up does 39, but the kit is just the sharpener head, carriage, and I'm guessing the hardware for the squeegee holder as well--IIRC.If you pick one up, I'd love to see a few pics of the kit and how much work it is to get it going--we were considering a short-cut till we got a quote.
