WEINIG Rondamat 930 – Profile knife grinder
The WEINIG Rondamat 930 is a profile knife grinder for producing and resharpening profile knives used in woodworking. A template transfers the profile shape to the knives mounted in the cutterhead, allowing users to produce their own profiles and resharpen existing knives while retaining the profile.
Machining and Machine Configuration
The grinding unit swivels to set the back and side clearance angles. A stepped pulley provides four grinding wheel speeds. Equipment includes a diamond dressing device with a vernier scale, taper-mounted grinding wheel holders and a coolant tank with a sludge compartment. The 930 is documented as the standard version for HL, HSS and Stellite knives.
