Taking Care Of Your Portable Sawmill Blades

When it comes to taking care of portable sawmill blades, few people do it better than the folks at Cook's Saw.  They have the perfect tools for the job.  However, using those tools properly and wisely is up to the individual sawyer.

If you feel comfortable with the idea of sharpening your own portable sawmill blades, you can find some great sharpeners at Cook's Saw.  However, you should know that you won't just need a sharpener.  Actually, sharpening portable sawmill blades is a three-step process.

The first step is sharpening.  A sharp blade is an efficient blade, after all.  Yet, even the sharpest blade won't work well if the teeth aren't in alignment and the blade itself is bent.  That's why you can ignore steps two and three, which are flattening and setting the blade.

For some sawyers, the thrill of operating a portable sawmill is as great as the annoyance and agony of trying to sharpen their own blades.  It can seem impossible to achieve that perfectly efficient blade that all sawyers dream of on their own.  If that's how you feel about the process, you can certainly outsource the work and send your blades elsewhere to be sharpened, flattened and set.

On the other hand, you might be more of a hands-on portable sawmill user.  If that's the case, wouldn't you love to find your own equipment and do all of that yourself?  If so, visit www.cookssaw.com to learn how.  It could save you from buying far too many replacement blades.
