Holesaw sharpening

[mike-c]

As the title says, can hole saws be sharpened,and if so where?
i have a 114mm and a 127mm hole saw and they are quite old now and mostly burn their way through wood now. All the teeth are still there but they are a bit flat now. I am just wondering if it would be much cheaper to get them sharpened or should I just buy new ones. I tend to use them especially the larger one two or three times a week in recent months.

Just buy new. It's not worth trying to sharpen them.

never heard of resharpening them, as they usually wear away anyway its best just to replace

So are you one of these people that just buys new pipe cutters instead of just replacing the wheel?

Lol that's a bit different I think , but when I make a big purchase like a freeze machine I get the rep to chuck some freebies in like a new gun

You would have as much success sharpening your cutter wheel as you would a holesaw.
That reminds me. I better put a new set of silces in the van as my old ones are taking 10 turns now:smile:

Holesaw sharpening, I thought that was a joke when I read it. Just buy new as everyone else has suggested.

How are the freeze machines? Was looking at a rothenberger one in plumbase other day. How they compare to the spray?

Fantastic fella , great on office jobs or big jobs where you haven't got time and they don't want to pay for all the hours it will take to drain.
