AV-40 Package

Thorvie International has earned the reputation as a "world leader in saw and tool sharpening equipment" for two primary reasons - we manufacture superior equipment and provide you, our customer, with the knowledge needed to become a success in the saw and tool sharpening businesses.

When you call Thorvie International for information you will talk directly to Rick Shefchik, an expert sharpener. If you should purchase Thorvie's equipment, you will receive help, not from novices but from the experts, and you won't have to wait days for a call back.   We help you and answer your questions at the time you call.   

• The AV-40 is a professional grinder will sharpen saw blades, face, top and side grind, ranging from 1-7/8" to 30" diameter, plus it will sharpen many different cutting tools such as raised panel cutters and profile cutters, anti-kick back router bit and shaper cutters without motor interference; something few saw blade grinders can offer.

• The motor maintains a wheel RPM of 3450 - something essential when grinding carbide tooling. Other carbide saw grinders on the market actually slow down or stop the wheel when grinding, which is why Thorvie International manufactures a modified version of the AV-40 motor, designed to be used as a replacement on our competitor's equipment. (220 volt 50hz 2850rpm available for foreign countries)

• The AV-40 bearing assembly has four bearings, while many other grinders typically only have three. This allows the AV-40 saw blade and tool holder to give you precision grinding performance as the saddle bearing assembly is solid with no play whatsoever.  

• When comparing value in systems for the advantages offered by the AV-40 our grinder is far less expensive. Plus, when buying manufacturer direct from Thorvie International you'll save 40% or more!

  COMPARE THORVIE'S TO THE COMPETITION'S

• With its compact size, it takes up minimal bench space and can serve as an excellent mobile unit.

• The AV-40 is one of the easiest and fastest machines to learn how to set up and operate

• Things you'll want to keep in mind when deciding on the brand of sharpening equipment you want to purchase for your business is quality and consistency of equipment design, as well as availability of replacement parts. Thorvie International's AV-40 is built the same today as it was when we began production 36 years ago. That's because, unlike other manufacturers that have to change their model number every couple of years to try to make improvements, the Thorvie AV-40 was built right, right from the start! What that means for you is that replacement parts for your sharpener are available to you whether you bought an AV-40 from us 36 years ago, or just last year. Some competitors, as they change their model numbers, no longer make replacement parts for their older models - you are forced into buying their new machine. With a Thorvie AV-40 saw and tool grinder, you'll never have to worry about that. We offer our customers today the same well-built machine that has proven to help make many saw sharpening business successful over the last 36 years. It was a top-quality machine back then, and it's a top-quality machine today! Our customer testimonials attest to that.

This carbide and steel saw and tool grinder has a diameter capacity from 1-7/8" to 30". It allows you to face, top and side grind. The AV-40 is one of the fastest grinders to set up and easy to use. When changing from face to top grinding, and from one diameter to the next, just loosen a lever and rotate an arm. This machine will save you 25% of the set up time over other grinders, AND is less costly! Attachments included in the package also allow you to grind router bits, planer knives, shaper cutters, and a whole lot more. Sharpen the anti-kickback router bits and other various styles of cutters.
