Sharpening a MT saw?
on: March 14, 2009, 04:16:13 AM
Hey has anyone ever sharpened the saw on a MT :think: The 1 on my SuperTool gets used a lot and I am wondering if I could find a saw file small enough for the teeth in it :-\ I have hand sharpened a reg hand saw before with some limited success but never heard anyone talk about sharpening 1 on here :) the file I used to sharpen my big saw would be 2 big and it is quite small so I am wondering what the smallest size that they make in these ;)

If it's double tooth type like in the ones I have, it's sharpened by lay the saw on its side and sharpen the entire side surface, do edge trailing so you don't accidentally dull the teeth point.

What about using a spark plug file?

Well I figured I would just jump right in and try my hand at sharpening 1 :D

Thanks for all the comments guys :tu:

I took my ex slim taper Nicholson 3 sided needle file and went all the way down each side filing each tooth going that way so that I would actually hit the teeth on each side of 2 different points :) I went at about a 45 degree angle to the saw but you can tell how to file it by just feeling it (if it grabs adjust the angle of the filing until you go through smoothly) once you start it is much easier than I thought :tu: After you do all the teeth look closely at it and make sure all the teeth look fairly uniform and if 1 or so aren't just try and correct it with the file :tu: It took about 10 or 15 minutes and it was in pretty good shape :)

Sorry if I confused anyone with all of that ::)  if you need to sharpen 1and my directions didn't help just search on the net for ppl hand sharpening hand saws and it is the same principle :tu:
