Bandsaw blade sharpening jig
« on: July 08, 2015, 03:11:39 pm »
Your bandsaw blade a bit dull?  Got a dremel?  May be easy solution!
John Heisz's channel is one of the few I follow.  He regularly has ideas that even I can execute.  :(
I have not tried this blade sharpening jig ... don't own a bandsaw.  But know many of ya'll do and thought this would be of interest/useful.

Nice video.  Wish you would have posted this a few days ago.  I just threw a dull blade away.  The rest of his videos look interesting.  I recognized your belt sander jig.

I've done the sharpen by hand method with Dremel.  Works but blade starts going down hill fast.  Need a depth stop.

Yes, depth-stop mod would be plus.

  I use a dremel on mine without the jig, I just touch the dremel inside the hook for maybe 1/2 second. The blade always cuts smoother than new.

  Watching the video I can see I am sharpening the opposite side of the hook. I will try it his way next time.
