First, you should know that
all portable sawmill blades need to be replaced eventually. There are no completely indestructible
portable sawmill blades. However,
performing the proper maintenance on them and keeping them sharp can help you
to avoid replacing them too often. That
can save you a lot of time, trouble and money.
When it comes to portable
sawmill maintenance, the things you need to know about are sharpness, flatness
and tooth setting. You cannot just
sharpen a blade and expect it to work perfectly. If the teeth are out of alignment or the
blade is bent, it can easily slip out of the cut and ruin a piece of lumber, as
well as become bent even worse, possibly beyond repair.
You could take your blades to
a professional and have them sharpened.
You could even ship them to that professional. However, you might save even more money by
sharpening, flattening and setting your portable sawmill blades on your
own. Would you like to learn how? If so, you can visit www.cookssaw.com to find some great tools to help you keep your blades in perfect
