Maintaining a Crosscut Saw

This report explains the basic function of tools for crosscut saw maintenance, but it does not explain how to use them properly. The Lolo National Forest's Ninemile Wildlands Training Center (406-626-5201) offers a 5-day course in crosscut saw maintenance. Courses are open to anyone. Course information and schedules are available at the Web site: http://www.fs.fed.us/r1/lolo/resources-culture/nwtc/courses.html.

The Crosscut Saw Manual (7771-2508-MTDC, http://www.fs.fed.us/eng/php/eng_search.php/) by Warren Miller is a reference for crosscut saw maintenance. Single copies can be ordered by calling 406-329-3978.
