Wiring and sharpening a hand saw

Hand saws are usually not sharpened for sale. Sharpen the tool after wiring it. In the future, the wiring must be repeated periodically. Determine the duration of the work should be on the status of the tool. Wiring and sharpening - something that can not do without using saws. The essence of these processes should be understood correctly. Work with a hand tool differs significantly from the preparation of electric saws, since the latter have a completely different tooth shape and some other features.

Wiring the saw is a process in which its teeth are bent on different sides. The odd ones look after one side, the even ones look the other. The need for wiring a saw is determined by objective reasons. They need to be known, since it is impossible to get a good result without understanding why the work is being done. The cutting width of a hand saw should be two times the thickness of the blade. The tool will become stuck in the material being processed if this rule is not followed. In addition, the web may bend during movement. Evenly split the wood in the end will not work. The layout of two-handed saws is no different from the layout of a one-handed tool. Their differences consist only in the fact that during operation the saw is controlled by two people at once, and not by one.

The saw is sharpened after wiring. Simple tools make it possible to carry out this process. You can use the most common trihedral file. It is moved away from itself, pressing simultaneously to the teeth. Slightly tilt the file during reverse movement. It is very simple to bring a hand saw into working condition. The main thing is that all the teeth are pointed from all the peaks. A hand saw can also be sharpened with the help of bars. Her teeth are aligned, as reconnaissance disappears when sharpening. The working form can be returned to the tool if the wiring is done again.

In order for the saw to serve for a long time and perform its functions well, it must be properly stored and provided with the necessary care.

Unused tools should be placed in a dry and warm place. Iron will rust quickly if moisture levels are high. Saw material cannot resist all aggressive factors even after processing with special compounds. Before storage, the saw is wrapped in cloth or placed in a special case. If it is stored in a city apartment, it cannot be left on the balcony in the cold season.
