Saw Sharpening Jig WOODLOT EQUIPMENT Miscellaneous 18-5-30 Sharpening skill saw blades is easy with this homemade jig that clamps onto any 2-in. board, according to construction worker Ralph Todd, McMinnville, Tenn., who's used it for many years.
"I needed a way to hold blades stationary while filing them down. I've never seen anything like it on the market," says Todd.
He made the blade holder out of 1 1/2-in. wide flat steel with a spindle that holds the blade, sandwiched between two 5 1/2 in. dia. 1/2-in. plywood circles. A hand tightened hold-down bolt holds the blade tight and can be quickly loosened to rotate the blade.
A large screw-down bolt through the bottom clamps the jig to a piece of wood. "It's easy to attach and easy to use, making it easier to keep blades sharp"
