Upgrade Your AV-40 for Larger Saw Blade Capacity
The AV-42 Sharpening Machine Upgrade transforms your existing AV-40 into a powerful large-diameter saw blade sharpening system, increasing capacity from 30″ up to 42″ blades.
This added range makes it the ideal solution for professionals who work with oversized carbide saw blades and need reliable, precise sharpening for demanding applications.
Built for Large Blade Sharpening Applications
The AV-42 is especially valuable for industries that rely on larger cutting tools, including:
- Logging and sawmill operations
- Industrial wood processing
- Forestry and timber operations
- Large-scale fabrication and cutting
Most saw blades used in the logging industry fall between 18″ and 42″, making the AV-42 a critical upgrade for servicing these tools efficiently.
Complete Saw Blade Sharpening Capabilities
With the AV-42 upgrade, you retain full sharpening functionality:
- Face grinding
- Top grinding
- Side grinding
This ensures complete blade restoration, not just partial sharpening, resulting in better performance, cleaner cuts, and longer blade life.
Fast Setup for Maximum Productivity
Like the AV-40, the AV-42 is designed for speed and ease of use.
- Quickly switch between face and top grinding
- Easily adjust for different blade diameters
- Simple lever-based adjustments
This efficient design reduces setup time by up to 25% compared to other sharpening machines, allowing you to handle more jobs with less downtime.
Expand Beyond Saw Blades with Optional Fixtures
When paired with Thorvie’s tool sharpening fixtures, the AV-42 becomes a versatile sharpening system capable of handling:
- Router bits
- Planer knives
- Shaper cutters
- Adjustable dado sets
- Spiral planer heads
- Additional industrial cutting tools
This flexibility allows you to expand your services and increase revenue potential.
Designed for Carbide Saw Blade Sharpening
The AV-42 upgrade is built to handle the demands of carbide tooling, ensuring:
- Accurate grinding angles
- Consistent tooth height
- Professional sharpening results
For blades larger than 42″, many use replaceable insert teeth. Thorvie offers specialized fixtures to sharpen these inserts, allowing you to continue servicing even larger tooling systems.

Enhance your sharpening capabilities with optional accessories:
- Small cup & cone fixture for blades 1-7/8″ to 6-1/2″

These accessories help you cover a wider range of blade sizes and applications.
