So, I am basically on the frugal side of life.
I sharpen my bandsaw blades.
I purchase good quality bi-metal blades. When they get dull, I use my micro-motor with a small disk to grind off the top edge.
I did one today. But, was thinking if I should be working in the gullet of the tooth instead. And, if so, what should I be using for a grinding wheel?
I know some of you sharpen your bandsaw blades. So, tell me your approach please.
I know re-sharpened blades do not cut curves as well. I understand that. when I grind the top edge of the tooth, I do not see which way it is angled and try and keep it the same. Straight cuts are just fine most of the time anyway.
Thanks ahead of time.
Hugh
