SHARPENING CROSS CUT SAWS

Sharpening the large teeth on cross cut saws means having the tools available. The teeth must be sharpened at the correct angle, the "set" of the teeth must be precise and the height of the teeth and rakers must be uniform. Teeth too high or set too wide will bind in the kerf. Dull teeth makes sawing extremely difficult. These tools can sometimes be found in "junque" shops or antique shops and are also available new from the Crosscut Saw Company Click on the photos to enlarge.

 

The US Forest Service manual for using a crosscut saw is here.

In printable form, the instructions for sharpening are here.

Crosscut Saw Company sells used/antique saws as well as new saws, sharpening tools, etc.
