Some places also offer such things as key replication (with thoss special carving mschins...) engravings custom printing and so on.... I've also seen specilty sherpening... It's quick and easy... with all the specialized machinery for such things as serrated sharpening I mean idk... I have one of thoes tiny specialty shops near my house... they sell small nuts and bolts glues and alike and can do everything from sharpen your knife set for 2-3 bucks To replicate keys Sew and repair buttons and things like that And do all kinds of strange things I allways assumed thay you americans and your massive wallmarts...

One tip, once you cut new teeth, be sure to set them. Look at any saw blade, you will see that the teeth are slightly bent to alternating sides. That sets the kerf of the blade. You want the teeth to cut slightly wider than the actual blade. That allows clearance for the blade to prevent binding up.

@Philter-Coffee

2 жыл бұрын

When doing this I would add that I find it helpful to flatten the flats (like you might on the underside of a chisel) before bending as it removes any burr from the edge of the teeth and will help them to keep a decent edge. Also as it's oscillating so fast, the teeth only need a tiny touch up and down. You aren't trying to widen the cut, you're just trying to make enough room for the blade to not pinch.

THANKS LEAH !!! A very informative video. I have sharpened stuff for myself and my friends, for most of my life. My Dad taught me how to sharpen hand saws, circular saws and drill bits and surgical tools, (that was back before they were disposable), etc. He taught me to put "SET" in the teeth, so the blade wouldn't bind. The teeth are bent out, every-other one slightly tapped left and the others to the right. You do that while the blade is still in the vice, and the edge of the vice is up close to the bottom of the tooth bite. You use a small finishing nail setting punch and a small Ball-Peen hammer with a short handle. Leah, try putting set in with your demonstration. You won't believe how much better it will cut, even if you've sharpened it well. Thanks for your time and excellent teaching. (My Dad made a stand He would stand me on, and I had a full shield over my face, back when I was a toddler, and encouraged me to watch him work. He instilled shop-craft in me. So I can truthfully say, I've been sharpening things for over 60 years..."no brag...just fact"😀

Second, teach them how to sharpen the blades they ruin and insist they sharpen their blades at the end of the day. If they are worth their salt, then they'll quickly improve within a few days on using the blades well instead of "taking them for granted." Just my two cents...

I once did something very similar with a Dremel and thin cutting wheel and it worked with similar results. My oscillating tool is one of those cheap ones from Harbor Freight and you get what you pay for. The blades which come with those and the ones sold in those stores become dull very easily. I find that the Bosch blades have the same hole pattern if you have the same tool and want blades that will last longer. Other ones may fit but I am not sure which ones. I just know that the Bosch blades fit without any adapters. It is possible that those ones use a universal hole pattern.

Thank you! My Brother in Law told me, "I AIN'T GOT TIME TO SHARPEN THE BLADE." I used to take all his chisels home and sharpen them for him. He really isn't lazy, has a lot of property to maintain and I reap the benefits of that and so I do some things to help him out!

Leah Kudos to you!! Not many people understand that a file cuts in only one direction! And many thanks for this excellent, graphic depiction of the procedure for sharpening those expensive blades. Thanks from Ron in Nova Scotia, Canada.

I find the trick with oscillating saws is to take your time and cut in pulses to let the blade cool down and clear the cut. They don't pull sawdust out of the cut the way a traditional saw does and so it tends to stay in the cut and pack the gap between wood and blade, the friction this creates overheats the blade and softens it pretty quickly. Cut in bursts and blow the cuts out to prolong life.

I used to sell those from Fein, the Inventor of oscillating Cutter. The most common Mistake is that people work on the highest velocity Level, this kills your blade, remember it's a hardened Steel, very durable but brittle. So those missing theeth have broken off because they can't stand fast vibrations and shocks from different sides in fast succession. Level 5 and 6 are meant to be used with bladed cutters to remove coatings etc. Please don't use any level above 4 (or 2/3 of the Max) when using those sawblades :)

Truth be told, Leah, I never really thought about the possibility of sharpening my Dremel blades. And you make it look really easy! Thanks for this tip. I'm definitely going to give it a try!

That tip will save a lot of frustration and money. Thanks for sharing this with us, Leah.

Just now saw this video. I thumbs up'd all of the comments I read & wholeheartedly agree with Michael L's comment. You are a true Superstar & Hero in my book for what you give to us Leah. Much appreciated!!!!

Thank you Leah! My father always wants to sharpen my blades. You made his day!

First time visitor, I've subscribe, I don't do much woodworking but knowledge is power...

Great sharpening guide, never thought of trying it! With oscillating tools, I find light to medium pressure and a slight rocking motion left to right allows it to cut properly and clear chips, making the blades last a lot longer.

THANK YOU LEAH! You are brilliant. Always enjoy your tutorials. You just saved me and everyone else that sees your channel a ton of money!!!

I bought a secondhand multi tool and remembered this tip. Worked a treat. Thank you.

Love this technique to resharpening blades! Remember in the 1960s watching my grandfather sharpen his tools frequently; he even had a hand crank wheel to sharpen larger saws... Thank you fir this very valuable lesson ⚒🧰🛠

Leah, you are a beautifully talented contractor. I've been sharpening these blades for years. I've also cut them down width wise if I have to cut into a narrower space. I usually sharpen my blades the same way you would sharpen a handsaw, with an alternating bevel. For very fine teeth, with closer spacing I use my Fordem ( precursor to the Dremel ) and cut the teeth using a 1/64th. cutting disc. I've been at the same stuff as you since the first pope was jewish, and I'm always learning new tips and tricks. You've shown me some new ones too. Thanks for your channel.

If Grandpa doesn't get this, he probably shouldn't be messing with saw blades! 😅

I too never thought of this, I will try it soon, one of my blades needs this badly. Thank you Leah

You are one of my favorite channels, so informative and easy to understand and follow. All the best to you in 2023!

Thanks Jane I live in the UK and use these blades quite a bit. This is such a useful tip. Great job Thanks.

First time watching your videos and this earned my sub immediately. This is so obvious and as a cabinet guy I use an oscillating tool all the time and I’m constantly buying new blades but not anymore thanks!!!! This is so obvious why didn’t I think of that I sharpen all my saws and blades etc. but for some reason never thought about doing it to these guys... wow

Sometimes the obvious escapes us. Hey, we're human!

WOW, WOW, WOW..I have flushed so much money down the toilet, buying these blades over and over again. Thank You.

Thank you so much Jane. You are making a difference in this world with your wonderful tips. BRAVO.

The oscillator is my newest tool, and it is amazing, thank you for this great video for filing the blades, I haven't burned through one yet, but I'll definitely be getting a tri file.

I don't know why anyone would give this video a thumbs down. This is really a useful video. Thank you.

Pretty cool. That file is no joke. Great video. No fat to trim. Perfect time, no fillers. Quick and to the point. I'll save $$ with this .

I can't believe how simple this was. You've saved me lot's of money! Thank You!!!!

I love this lady I stg she don’t play and she just tells you what you need to know purely to share her knowledge

As a new "carpenter", I learn so much from you. We we even watched some of your vids in class!

Fantastic! Will fill this one away and will benefit for years to come. Thank you!

Hi Leah! You are truly a godsend to an 79-year-old-fart in Kansas! Been a DIY'er since..forever. Some of my tools come from the Mayflower, I think, but my uncle always told to me use my head before using my pocketbook.. Since reitirement, I have invested (energy) heavily in my fav things...gardening, photography, woodworking, and music with my wife . Thanks for all your great info!

Thanks Leah, I sharpen all sorts of tools, etc, but It never crossed my mind about trying to sharpen one of these. Great tip!
