Quoting%20commentary for Moed Katan 1:9

מַעֲמִידִין תַּנּוּר וְכִירַיִם וְרֵחַיִם בַּמּוֹעֵד. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, אֵין מְכַבְּשִׁין אֶת הָרֵחַיִם בַּתְּחִלָּה:

It is permitted to set up an oven, a stove, and a mill on Chol Hamoed. [It is permitted to build, set up, and repair an oven that is needed on Chol Hamoed. Because their ovens were moved from place to place, we have "set up."] R. Yehudah says: It is not permitted to sharpen [and hammer] a millstone (on Chol Hamoed) ab initio [if it is too smooth and does not grind well. The halachah is not in accordance with R. Yehudah.]
