Barnhart Bandmill Wheel Grinder - long barrel

Barnhart Bandmill Wheel Grinder (Armstrong / Dynamic/Simonds)

The Barnhart band wheel grinder is a proven on-mill grinding system designed to restore bandmill wheel profiles quickly and accurately without removing the wheels from the machine. Built for speed and precision, the unit grinds directly on wheels running at full operating speed, allowing mills to maintain proper crown and surface condition with minimal downtime.

Using a rigid mounting system and factory-set grinding geometry, the Barnhart grinder delivers consistent results across flat, step crown, or arched crown wheel profiles. The design minimizes setup time and allows operators to correct wheel condition in place—improving tracking, reducing saw strain, and extending blade life.

Commonly found on single and multi-band mills, the Barnhart system is known for its durability and straightforward operation, making it a staple in sawmill filing rooms and maintenance programs.
