Freestanding Crosscut Saw Vise
Crosscut saw-filing vises (figure 7, drawing MTDC-1044) come in a variety of designs and styles. You can field sharpen your saw with a small or improvised vise, but this usually is done to correct an immediate problem. To properly sharpen your crosscut saw, a vise is needed to hold the entire length of the saw securely. The freestanding saw vise drawing in this report will accommodate up to a 7-foot crosscut saw. The drawing can be adjusted for larger saws. The freestanding saw vise can be adjusted and the vise can be rotated to a comfortable angle for the filer. The drawing includes a shelf for additional crosscut saw maintenance tools.
The freestanding saw vise can be assembled and disassembled quickly.
