Whizard Trimmer Edge Management
Sharper Blades Deliver a Sharper Product
Most customers are willing to pay more for a better-finished product. That’s why Bettcher Industries has developed a line of precision sharpening equipment that delivers the best performance and productivity you’ll find anywhere.
These products have been designed for high-, medium- and low-volume use, meaning you’ll find a Bettcher solution for any requirement.
The cost of a dull blade: Increased operator effort and diminished product quality.
Many trimming applications can quickly dull a blade, causing finished product quality to deteriorate along with increasing the stress on the operator’s wrist and forearm. Add in the time it takes to sharpen blades … and it’s easy to see how the negative impact of dull blades really adds up.
With Bettcher, you have the ability to choose a sharpening solution that’s best suited to your needs. And one thing is consistent whether your volume is low, moderate or high: each sharpening product delivers consistent, precision quality and performance.
There is a Bettcher sharpener for any size operation!
AutoEdge™ Precision Blade Sharpener
Our AutoEdge™ Precision Blade Sharpener is designed for high-volume operations when you need to sharpen a large number or variety of circular blades (round knives).
- Automatic sharpening – simply load a blade, position the grinding motor and steeling device, and press one button! The AutoEdge™ allows your operators to multi-task
- Consistent perfection – A computer-controlled sharpening and steeling process means you get perfect results first time, every time

E-Z Edge™ - Personal Blade Sharpener
- Accurate Sharpening - The cubic boron nitride rod quickly restores a sharp edge.
Exact Steeling - Accurately steels the inside and outside blade edge to improve blade performance by restoring rolled edges. No more guesswork.- Longer Edge Life - Precisely sharpened blades maintain their edge longer.
- Improve Blade Life - The E-Z Edge increases blade life by restoring rolled edges by always sharpening at the right angle.
The E-Z Edge Personal Blade Sharpener is engineered for small-volume operations that need to re-sharpen circular blades (round knives) on a regular basis – or for applications that quickly dull edges. Almost any operator can have consistently sharper blades – with virtually no training – which will also increase yields and reduce fatigue.
The Whizard Trimmer blade/housing assembly is automatically held in proper position with the new E-Z Edge Sharpening System. It precisely sharpens the blade while the trimmer is running, plus it steels the blade edge accurately and consistently for improved blade life.
