ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for sharpening knives, and the like where fixed abrasive elements on an orbiting surface in contact with the knife cutting edge facet move in a mechanically generated uniform cyclic orbit of circumference less than about one (1) inch and through that motion provides the work and energy to sharpen the knife or blade edge. The apparatus provides a circumferential velocity of the abrasive element of less than 800 feet per minute and restrains motion of the abrasive surface to less than .+-.0.005 inch in a direction perpendicular to the intended plane of the knife or knife edge facet. The apparatus contains novel magnetic device to steady, guide and control position and angle of the face of the blade relative to the orbiting abrasive elements, to realign any burr or sharpening debris on the knife edge, to control in part the abrading forces, and to remove sharpening debris from the abrasive surface and sharpening zone. A drive used to create the orbital motion of the abrasive surface utilizes a pair of synchronously driven eccentric cranks that engage an orbiting drive plate that supports the abrasive surface or surfaces, where the eccentric cranks are mounted on or are an integral part of the shafts of two gear pulleys driven syncronously by a motor-driven timing belt, and where the supporting drive plate is constrained to orbit in a prescribed principal plane by fixed bearing support points.
