Thread: Saw sharpening

Have you tried Henry Brothers?

I have to say that I haven't had a saw sharpened by them yet, but going on the quality of the bandsaw blades that they sell, I'd be surprised if their saw doctor is no good.

I have an Adria dovetail saw but as I have only owned it for a couple of months it's still very sharp.

I bought it from Terry Gordon and he offers a sharpening service on the saws he sells. So, when it gets blunt, I'll either send it back to Terry or try Henry Bros.

Long term, I plan to buy an old dovetail saw that I can use to practice my sharpening on so that I can do my own sharpening.

IMHO the best saw sharpening service anywhere in the country is DIY. Even the first attempt seems to achieve better results in better time at a far superior cost than any other method. The only problem is sourcing the double slim taper files to perform the task.

Best web site advice is http://www.vintagesaws.com/library/primer/sharp.html

G'day OtakiriLad;

Lee Valley have a goodish collection of various files suitable for saw sharpening, see http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...89&cat=1,43072 and saw sets / sharpeners at http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.a...86&cat=1,43072

Cheers!

PS when my LN get a bit blunt, I think I'd rather use a good professional. I wouldn't mind having a go at one of the Pax saws - but not my L.N.s
