Battle Saw Sharpening...

i dont know if you have ever tried a stripper called "airplane remover" (or something very close to that)

it comes in a spray can and is available at whatever mega-mart type place you have, and it takes the finish off of everything ive used it for. it of course wont remove actual metal finishes like anodizing but so far every non-metal finish comes right off with this stuff. make sure to wear eye and skin protection though as it hurts when it gets on your skin, i cant even imagine what it would do to your eyes!
 
Great Job-Congrats

So... I started stripping my Battle Saw last night. Tanker Grey is TOUGH! MANY coats of stripper and much sanding. I have stripped several Busse's in the recent past and this finish is the beast! I thought my B5 was bad, but... WOW

I found 80 grit wet dry paper used wet with a flexible sanding block worked really well (I got a jumbo school eraser at the dollar store). The Infi dimples are amazing on Battle Saws!

I went to the hardware store to get dremel stuff and found long skinny stones intended for chainsaw sharpening. I thought they might work well for cleaning talon holes and rough marks around the choil and pommel. Well... it also works well to clean inside the saw teeth! and..... as a result of this fine stone in the tooth slot, the teeth became sharper and sharper! WOW! Unintentionally, my Battle Saw is now so sharp, you could cut yourself on the saw teeth!

I just thought I'd share my discovery.

Enjoy! Let's Drink (but not when sharpening)!

Hardened Infil seems to be pretty rough on those Dremel chain saw stones! Make sure the part of the stone you are using has parallel sides! It would be easy to use a worn part of the stone and grind crooked or at an angle! It's gonna take the complete 2 pack to fully work the saw teeth!
