True Angle files
« on: January 31, 2021, 09:54:53 AM »
I had a true angle file set years ago. Made it super easy to sharpen two blade heads. After moving a couple times I have no idea where it went and I don't believe they're sold anymore. For some reason I remember seeing someone build their own either here or another forum and I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find some plans to build one. I have a fully outfitted woodshop where I work so I wouldn't think it'd be real difficult to build a set.

I bought one back in the day but never had luck with it. I took the files off and used them independently. If I still have the wood block you are welcomed to it. I don't remember the angle the file mounts were made.

Well, if you have any woodworking skills at all it would be pretty simple to take a small block of 2x4 and run it over the table saw at whatever angle you like your broad heads set at, likely somewhere around 20 degrees.  Easy Peasy   :thumbsup:

It's been a few years so I'll have to see if I can find it.

That's definitely a tru-angle file set up.   :thumbsup:
