Saw Filing Kits
No doubt if you are a visitor to this site you have several saws in your shop or home. Even more likely is the fact that they probably need sharpened. You want to learn, but you don't want to practice for the first time on the saw that your Grandfather passed down to you or on the $200 crisp D12 you just bought at the tool meet.
If you can relate to the above, then this page is for you. Here you will find just what you need to learn to file. Below are saws that are admittedly nothing special. None are priceless heirlooms and all will require some cleaning before they can be filed. Some have damaged handles, some have mild pitting, most have light rust. These saws are just the thing for first time filers.
Here's what you get. Any saw you see below. You pick it. When you fill out the order form, specify if you want to learn to file rip teeth or crosscut teeth. Rip saws can be had from 4-7 ppi and cross cut saws from 6-13 ppi. You specify the pitch and profile and we'll cut new teeth into the saw you select. We'll also enclose the proper Sandvik file and matching handle. To top it off, shipping via FEDEX ground is included to anywhere in the United States. All the above for a flat $60. Learning to file has never been so cheap and stress free. Order yours today.
Once your saw arrives, you'll want to visit the Vintage Saws library to review how to clean your saw and get it ready to cut. All saws are guaranteed to make first class users once they have been cleaned, filed and set. Learn a skill that you can use for a lifetime.
Note: In general, any saw can function as either a rip or cross cut. However, Rip saws tend to work better if the blade is wider. If you are not sure or have a question, please drop me a note through the form located on the FAQ page.
