Circular saw blade sharpening machine - GIF

looks like it works great for a blace designed fo cutting paneling but I wonder how well it would work for blades with set in them for cross cut

As I stated previously I ground tools for 17 years and in the first 4 years or so we were using what was called Semi-high speed steel blades. Thes blades did have a set put on them. How we did it was set the teeth before grinding giving a bit more than needed and for copper and aluminum we just ground them enough to clean them up straight across the top. On the blades that were needed to cross-cut wood the machine was set for half the number of teeth thus grinding every other tooth, and the wheel was either dropped or raised a certain amount to give the alternate bevel grind. After one side was done the blade would be indexed to start on a tooth of the other side. Most of the blades we ground were 12 to 14 inches in diameter.
