    Default saw sharpener and tooth punch

    I went to see an old mate today and he showed me an automatic saw filler and a retoother.

    They look like they would work. I know nothing about these type of machines, he showed me a saw that he had retoothed. It looked very even. I can buy these machines but have limited space. but am very tempted.

    I took a few pics of them. Anyone ever used these things?

    You might ask about getting saw-files for the filer.
    I have a copy of that manual (387) ... there's a lot in there.

    I have some sawblades that I guess are raw from retoothing, they have a punched-metal look to them ...

    Paul, they look like peg teeth, and yes the punched-metal look is because they are... punched

    And judging by how far up the saw the teeth are, someone had a lot of goes on the retoother!

    Cheers

    385: as long as you have the ratchet bars and carriers, you are good to go. Can't really speak about the filer.

    I seem to have everything but the jig to hold the circular saws. Looks like 16 ppi is the smallest.
