Doing some heavy duty cutting. Need to occasionally field sharpen a
blade. Are the Oregon/Dremel/et al 12 v. sharpeners worth it? Or is it
just as easy to get a good eye, and do it with a few strokes here and
there? I bought a Craftsman a long time ago. It was like putting
together an Erector set with little instructions, and had so many moving
parts, and clamp and unclamp. I just need to zip, zap, and go. I do
see making myself a bar clamp that will hold the entire saw, maybe a
little cradle for the motor to take some of the weight off the bar, but
something to hold the whole thing rock steady during sharpening.

Should I go with a 12v. model, and which one, or should I just get rat
tail files, and read up on it. I have a good idea about the round ones,
and so far had decent luck field sharpening saws in the field. I still
have no idea about the small mill ******* flat file, nor its use, nor
its setup/parameters. Help here?

Time is important, and I don't want to spend a lot of time in the field.
I can do that at home on an off day, but when I hit some dirt or a
rock, I need to get back sawing in a hurry.

TIA

Steve
