Sharpening circular saw blades

R D S · 2020-05-29T09:32:24+00:00

Any point? (Pun unintended)I changed the blade on my battery powered circular saw the other day and WOW, what a difference.It's always been a bit naff vs a mains one but it's obvious the blade was blunt (or crap, it's the one that came with it)So im mindful now to change the blade more often but some aren't cheap, so I have questions....Like anything else, is there much reason to expect an expensive blade would be any better?Is it better to buy cheap mulipacks and replace often or expensive ones and have them sharpened?Any input etc...

I've taken to using this as I would only need to sharpen chainsaw blades occasionally. Its an excellent piece of kit. Gets good reviews on Youtube

What does it do that a standard file-in-a-frame does not?

Files two parts at once. It has a round and a flat file. (Hasten to add that I have very little experience of sharpening).

`it makes it very easy to sharpen in the correct manner and whilst sharpening the teeth it levels the rakers at the same time. Much easier than using a file
