1. File each tooth at a 30 degree angle a specific number of
times, eg. 4 strokes per tooth. Work your way around the
blade until all teeth are sharp.
2. DO NOT file the ‘gullet’ (radius) of the tooth with the flat file.
The radius must remain. A sharp corner will lead to a crack
and blade failure.
If an electric grinder is used, use care not to overheat teeth, do
not allow tips/tooth to glow red or turn blue. DO NOT place
blade in cooling water. This will change the temper of the blade and could result in blade failure.
3. After sharpening teeth, check each tooth radius for evidence
of a square (sharp) corner. Use the round (rat tail) file to
renew the radius.
