[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1003530, member: 25383"] , I made a hex adapter to drive the cutter, and use an electric screw driver. Works well, but as I said a little on the slow side (rpm). I had the guys that sharpen cutters at work do mine, and the guy looked at it and simply said it was ground all wrong from the factory. Wish I'd bought a couple new cutters and had them reground before I retired. As for who would I get to resharpen the cutter; I'd look in the yellow pages for someone who does that kind of work. It's about a fifteen minute job because the have to change the relief (otw two cuts instead of one). By the way, the Wilson trimmer is very easy to rebuild. Most work could be done in a drill press, but easier in a lathe. I rebuilt mine, and used a hard steel bushing for the cutter to ride in. The small round rails can be replaced with a piece of drill rod (better than what Wilson used as well). The other end has a micrometer head, but really isn't needed. I just happened to have four or five new micrometer heads laying around (the 1/2-20 threaded ones). All told, I had about two and a half hours work in mine to rebuild it. gary [/QUOTE]
