We have a Quik-clamp, and you can bang out 50 squeegee replacements In no time.

Just get a combination belt disc sander, and you can burn through em in a second or two each.

Quik-clamp makes squeegees such a breeze.

I shudder thinking of how hard it was to replace blades in the old one piece M&R holders...

This system is a luxury, but for a couple grand it would be hard to ever go back to the old style...

We miss the quick clamp.  Wanging blades into the holders with a mallet feels super dumb once you've used the system.

I've got a 1 x 6 plank with some course sandpaper glued to it, I just rub the corners on it just enough to knock the sharp edge off.

I use the sidewalk outside, it's always set up and ready to go.
Finish with some 300-400 grit and it's ready for press.

Of course, I do like four at a time, so this only applies to low volume shops.  :)

I use a bench grinder, does a great job.

We use pretty much this same one.

Same. Walk outside to the car park and a couple quick scrapes on the corner sorts it.
That action of drawing the squeegee toward you just gives the natural perfect radius.
