Chain Saw Sharpeners For the Handy Man

A handyman chain saw sharpener typically sharpens the chain while it is still on the chain saw. This is different than a professional chain saw sharpener that is typically bench mounted or wall mounted.

Dewalt Saw Blade

One advantage of a handyman chain saw sharpener is that it's usually more portable. You will be able to carry this handy device to the job site and pull it out any time for quick touch ups to your chain. Remember, if you're doing any kind of productive work with your chain saw you need a razor sharp chain, and the only way to maintain that sharpness is with frequent sharpening during the job.

Dewalt Saw Blade

You will still get fast, efficient results with a handyman chain saw sharpener. This type of sharpener is surprisingly affordable today, and the benefits of a properly sharpened chain far outweigh the minimal cost involved. Besides, one of the most unsafe aspects of any chain saw is trying to cut when it's dull. Since the chain saw doesn't cut easily when it's dull the operator tries to force it too much and the saw kicks back easier.

In many cases a battery is used for the power source in a home handyman chain saw sharpener. This allows you to bring the sharpener almost anywhere, including a remote jobsite in the woods.

You should still be able to grind any type of chain and size, including 1/4 inch, 0.325 inch, 3/8 inch, and 0.404 inch pitches. However, this level of sharpener will require more manual adjustments and won't be quite as precise. The quality of work will still be excellent, and this type of sharpener should be capable of doing both round and chisel chain styles.

The grinding head will usually be spring loaded, but it is still easily adjusted for different cutting angles. Again, you should expect anywhere from 0 degrees to 35 degrees adjustment.

A portable chain saw sharpener should also have an adjustable chain stop for different depths, as well as a transparent safety guard. The grinding wheels on handyman chain saw sharpeners are typically in the 4 inch to 5 inch diameter range, with motor speeds of 4,000 to 5,000 rpm.

The important factor is that even these portable chain saw sharpeners provide a consistent filing of every tooth on the chain. The guide that is mounted onto the bar ensures consistent sharpening angles for every tooth. The same quality and consistency of sharpening cannot be achieved with a hand held round file and hand guide.

In Review: Makita's SP6000K1 Track Saw System

If you've ever used a track saw, you know that the rail guide system is one of the most innovative, sophisticated cutting systems ever developed, that when using a track saw, you achieve smoother, more accurate, and altogether better results. If you've ever used a Makita power tool, you'll also know that Makita is one of the most high-performance manufacturers in the business, that Makita tools are designed and fabricated to a higher standard of excellence. Now, knowing both of these things, one can naturally deduce that a Makita track saw would be one of the most amazing systems conceivable.

Dewalt Saw Blade

Fortunately for every party involved, Makita does make a track saw, and its amazing. With the capacity to make precise, perfect cuts at any point in a panel, to create straight edges on rough stock, cross cut, bevel cut, rip sheet goods, and etc, the saw is one of those power tools that will consistently impress, and, perhaps even release those proverbial little butterflies in the bellies of even the toughest craftsmen. In the end, the Makita SP6000K1 is a high-performance beauty with the cutting chops to do all your cutting bidding with a refined kind of excellence.

Dewalt Saw Blade

Built around a powerful 6-1/2" plunge cut circular saw and a meticulously designed 55" guide rail, the SP6000K1 system perfectly interacts to produce the smoothest, straightest cuts. In fact, as far as bevel cuts are concerned, Makita's system is very likely the most sophisticated - with dual front and rear bevel supports designed to hold the blade firmly in position as you cut, the saw provides incredibly smooth, dead-on accurate bevel cuts with a nearly unbelievable simplicity and smoothness. The saw's electronic speed control also maintains constant speed under load to ensure your cuts are entirely splinter free and always boasting a mirror-like finish.

With variable speeds ranging from 2,000 - 5,000 RPM and a large cutting and bevel capacity (equip with convenient positive stops at 22.5-degrees and 45-degrees) the saw offers powerful versatility and optimal control over every type of application. The thing also offers nearly to-the-wall cutting for greater working possibilities, and with a soft-start feature and electronic current limiter, the tool's high-performance motor will continue kicking the sass out of your projects for seriously long time. The SP6000K1 is additionally made up of durable and lightweight magnesium components, rendering it well balanced and comfortable to operate while also tough enough to circumvent the rigors of jobsite life.

The saw's smooth plunge release offers additional user comfort and because the thing also provides extremely simple depth adjustments, a depth stop, an electronic brake, fast and simple blade changes, a saw base that is compatible with competing rails, and a rear dust port that can not only connect to a collection system, but automatically redirects dust and debris away from the cutting action, the system is comprehensive and completely awesome.

DeWalt Power Tools History

DeWalt Power Tools - History in the Making

Dewalt Saw Blade

That is how Raymond E. DeWalt the founder started. A second generation construction and mill worker promoted to the head position of a woodworking mill, he was pushed by the owner to pinch the pay of the men in order to get more work out of them. Rather than see his men be paid less, in 1922 Raymond invented the first DeWalt Tool, the first radial arm saw that did the work of 4 men and cut his labor costs immensely.

Dewalt Saw Blade

DeWalt Products Co. - Manufacturer

Two years late Ralph created the DeWalt Products Co. to produce the first of the many widely manufactured and distributed the Tools, the Wonder-Worker, a table saw with radial arm.

Rapid Expansion

The Second World War brought government orders in 1941, for tools and machinery to comply with national defense and wartime requirements.

Power Tools Progress

Over the next 24 years they steadily grew and introduced to new products, the bench grinder in 1967 and metal cutting machines for ferrous and non-ferrous metals in 1971.

Spectacular Growth - Portable Power Tools

The most notable growth of the company came in 1992 when the first portable electric Power Tools and accessories were introduced. These were specifically designed for the baby boomers' housing boom and the increase need for residential contractors, re-modelers, and professional woodworkers.

Power Tools Cordless Revolution

Two years later again, in 1994, DeWalt launched a revolution with their cordless DeWalt Power Tools. These included drill/drivers, screwdrivers, impact drivers, impact wrenches, saws, flashlights, and the first combination drill/driver/hammerdrill.

DeWalt Power Tools Today

Today, there are over 200 electric Power Tools and more than 800 acessories, with new products being introduced every year. DeWalt Inc. makes a special effort to honor their founder and original genius by encouraging submissions of new ideas and inventions to keep DeWalt Power Tools the most innovative and reliable power tool manufacturer today.

The Chop Saw: Changing the Chop Saw Blade

Chop saws are used to cut various materials like metal and wood. You will find that most chop saws lock that helps to keep the spindle in place as you change the saw blade. You can find a chop saw to replace the worn out ones in your local home improvement store. Be sure to read the manual to help you understand the correct thickness for your blade. Most blades have the thickness listed in the center. Here some tips that will help you when changing chop saw blade:

Dewalt Saw Blade

You should never forget to disconnect your chop saw from the outlet prior to changing the blade. Then remove the arm lock pin by pushing down the arm. You should raise the arm of the chop saw until it's fully open. The arm is always spring loaded and you should not release it suddenly. This can lead to damage of the arm if you are not careful.

Dewalt Saw Blade

You should rotate the wheel guard and you will find a mounting bolt. They are used to secure the saw blade on the saw. Be careful and keep the bolts in a safe place to avoid misplacing them

To change the blade, you must lock the spindle. There is a lock button which you press down and it's near the start or motor trigger. You should remove the blade using a socket wrench to loosen the securing bolt. Take off the bolt and outer washer and then remove the blade from the spindle.

Take off the spacer from the worn out blade and put it in the new blade. Then, go to place the new blade in the spindle until it fits properly inside the washer. This will make sure that you do not go through a tough time to tighten the new blade.

A connected power saw can be risky to repair. Even though a power saw makes your work easier, it's listed as one of the most dangerous power tools that people use at home. This means that extreme caution is required. If you are not sure on how to put on a new blade, get someone who has the experience. This will ensure that the chop saw is fitted a new blade properly and made safe for you to use.

As with any power tool, be sure to use safety goggles to protect the eyes, tie back long hair, and do not wear loose fitting clothing when using your chop saw.
