Dad was telling me how they did it growing up. But the tool my grandpa used came up missing after he passed. Dad said my grandpa could sharpen a crosscut to make her sing good while cutting. Was good hearing some new old stories. #Post#: 69842-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: 660magnum Date: February 28, 2016, 9:50 am --------------------------------------------------------- My dad's father could really sharpen hand saws and he fixed up my dad's cross cut saws too. The cross cuts were as fast as a chainsaw back in the 50's. He lived with us and was retired. He sharpened all my mother's table knives one day and that caused a big ruckus with my mother. He was one that ate off his table knife and only used the fork to push the food onto his knife??? I didn't think too much of him sharpening the table knives being as I was a little kid but in recent years, I've come across people that do that on You Tube. #Post#: 69847-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: jmester Date: February 28, 2016, 11:47 am --------------------------------------------------------- You can still find saw sets on eBay some and a flee markets and estate sales. The link has some pics and blue prints to make some of your own tools.

I think they are very well done kind of long but a great reference. #Post#: 69852-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: Chainsawrepair Date: February 28, 2016, 12:13 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Thank you for links. We are setting here talking about it. Checked ebay last night but nothing like grandpa used was on there. #Post#: 69853-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: Chainsawrepair Date: February 28, 2016, 12:15 pm --------------------------------------------------------- Dad wants to get the crosscut going again for his grand kids. My son and my bro's son so the info can be handed down another generation. #Post#: 69854-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: jmester Date: February 28, 2016, 12:29 pm --------------------------------------------------------- That is a great skill and a great thing to pass down. #Post#: 69855-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: 660magnum Date: February 28, 2016, 2:15 pm --------------------------------------------------------- I have my grandfather's around here somewhere. You may not need to set the tooth offset? Just sharpen the teeth #Post#: 69862-------------------------------------------------- Re: Crosscut Set By: Chainsawrepair Date: February 28, 2016, 4:35 pm --------------------------------------------------------- The kerf is to narrow. Teeth are sharp. This one is like new. The other old one is broke in half grandpa and dad used. ***************************************************** (DIR) Next Page
