Where to buy saw files by the box?
Hi All,
I would like to buy tapered filles to sharpen hand saws. The Nicholsons I purchased didn't seem to hold up well. I am looking to purchase Bahco / Sandivic, or another good brand, files buy the box to get a price break.
I just bought a box of Swiss made 13/64" chain saw files fo less than a dollar a piece so I'm having a hard time swallowing $5 to $9 each for triangel taper files.
If I can't find a place I'll probably end up with a sampler from Vintagesaws.com. Six files for $37 + $8 shipping and handling (regaurdless of order size)
I have 20 saws to touch up. I just started doing this and have enjoyed rehabing the saws.
Thanks in advance.
What about file sharpening?
No one's mentioned it yet. Boggs Tool ( www.boggstool.com ) Resharpens file, which leaves them better than new. Don't be deterred by the website prices, check first. My last baych of files, 38 of them, cost $82 to resharpen.
