F. DICK SM-111 Water-Cooled Knife Sharpening Machine
Description
F. DICK SM-111 Water-Cooled Knife Sharpening Machine
The F. DICK SM-111 is a professional machine for grinding, honing and polishing knives quickly and consistently. Water-cooled grinding wheels help prevent blade overheating, while magnetic guides hold the knife at a controlled angle.
Counter-rotating honing wheels remove the burr after grinding, and the integrated felt polishing wheel provides a refined final finish. Its low material removal helps preserve the blade and reduce long-term sharpening costs.
Key Features
- Three-stage grinding, honing and polishing system
- Water-cooled grinding wheels
- Magnetic guides for controlled sharpening angles
- Low blade-material removal
- Counter-rotating honing wheels for burr removal
- Felt wheel for final edge polishing
- Reversible grinding wheels for extended service life
- Dressing device for cleaning and truing the wheels
Sharpening Process
- Grinding: Water-cooled wheels restore the cutting bevel while limiting heat buildup.
- Honing: Counter-rotating wheels remove the burr produced during grinding.
- Polishing: The felt wheel refines and finishes the cutting edge.

Frequently Asked Questions
What operations can the SM-111 perform?
It combines knife grinding, burr removal by honing and final edge polishing in one machine.
Why are the grinding wheels water-cooled?
Water cooling limits heat buildup during grinding, helping protect the blade structure and cutting edge.
How do the magnetic guides help?
They support the knife during grinding and help maintain a consistent sharpening angle on both sides of the blade.
How long do the grinding wheels last?
The wheels can be reversed after one side has worn, extending their service life. Depending on use and maintenance, they can provide up to approximately 2,000 sharpening cycles.
Is the SM-111 intended for professional use?
Yes. Its construction and three-stage sharpening process are designed for professional environments where knives require regular maintenance.
