But you can pull a file. Fireball tools has a video where he made a machine to drag a file, and it hardly shortens the life span of it. This Old Tony also did a less scientific video involving a die filer where he also concluded it's okay to pull a file. The existence of die files and pneumatic files alone should bunk the myth that dragging a file greatly reduces the life span

How do you sharp an ax? Use a sharpie 😁😇

The simplest way to sharpen an axe: take an angle grinder...or one of those 25$ automatic sharpeners (Fiskars sells a combo for axes and knives) Works about 90% as good and takes about 10 seconds

Ive used a flapper wheel on an angle grinder and a 1x30 belt sander too. Very good for profiling the edge if you are experienced with the tool. The sander will actually get them extremely keen with a smooth convex edge if sanded on a slack belt.

exactly 👉👉👍 Both sides.

These are great, brother.

The "don't pull a file" thing... has been concretely disproven. Maybe when sharpening a blade you should only push. But in general. Filing back and forth does it twice as fast. And it doesn't hurt the file.

Great tip! thanks

I used to use a variable speed electric power file on slow. If you sit the base of the power file on the head of the axe and pivot left and right, you get a great even edge.

If youre worried about the file it doesn't matter which way you pull or push it the ware of the file is basically the same

BTW, great tip , thanks 👍

I prefer to push into the cutting edge

This channel feels like Ron Swanson giving advice during Joan Calamezzo’s talk show.

Sir you're supposed to wear gloves...

Did you file towards the axe on the flip side, but not at first?

I didn't realise how fragile my human hands are until a just lightly bumped my thumb with a shaving sharp axe. Cut my EPL tendon and couldn't give the thumbs up anymore, the surgeon found the end of the tendon in my wrist, routed it back to my thumb. My gloves that I was wearing may as well been made of butter.

I get the push action of the file BUT, I believe that one should use the push action in the same direction on both sides. IE,; Away from the handle. 👉🤔

Kody, Fireball tool’s channel did a test to see if the pushing off the file is “a thing”. He found after extensive testing that pushing and pulling didn’t damage the file and that actually pulling the file removed more material faster.

@preptoadventure

2 жыл бұрын

If it's the same test I saw, it's true that it doesn't damage the file and it does remove more material, but besides that the test didn't really consider what was being filed. When making a cutting edge I could definitely see issues by going back and forth.

Pulling or pushing doesn't matter. Someone did a test of 1000 strokes and different files with pulling, pushing, and both. It didn't change the sharpness.. it did however, change the speed in which you complete the job.
