Sharpening a Bandsaw Blade on the saw

Here is my method for sharpening a bandsaw blade while it's on the saw. It's a quick way to prolong the life of your bandsaw blades.

Thanks Cindy, worked great! I’m not sure Fine Woodworking would do it this way, but it got me cutting again, and cutting straight to boot. I found clamping a block to the table, as a guide for the Dremel, helped keep me from wandering.

Thanks Cindy, I hit a nail cutting a blank yesterday and was about to order a new blade but I will try and sharpen it first using your method. Regards Shay

Thank you, thank you, thank you! No place to get blades sharpened here, so have been setting dull ones aside for use by a blacksmith. Now I can get more use out of them before she gets her hands on them!♥️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Thank you so much for your video. I just put a new blade on mine and proceeded to hit a nail😡🤬 so I just sharpened it and hopefully it will last awhile.

I built a jig that I mount my dremel tool too, and use the fence to slide it along to maintain a consistent angle. It takes slightly longer to sharpen the blade, but I think that it is worth it.

Thanks!

Thanks Cindy. I had been using a rotary tool and a chainsaw sharpening attachment which is a cylander versus your method using a flat sharpening tool. I am certainly inspired to try your method. How many times can you sharpen a blade before you discard it?

This would be a LOT faster than using a file like I have been doing! Thanks for another great video!

a round diamond burr retains the shape of each tooth better,..easier to maintain teeth height so it cuts more evenly.

Im not patient enoigh.. have a bandsaw with a 190" blade.. thats a lotta teeth.. my luck i'll get 95% they way through, cramping hands, hours doing it then i'll hear a "doink" and belt will slack up.. lol.. blades are too expensive to just but new but too dull to keep up with the proper cut speed before it toasts the work..
