I do not know but for the price ,$210 for a 330T, maybe you could try 1 and find out. This is a discontinued saw, the replacement saw for it the  355T? is almost $500

Do you think that would work on a dull bandsaw blade too?

Or the dull chainsaw teeth?   

Wonder what a blow torch could possibly do to bring a worn out file back to life?

I suspect it would burn out any embedded crud in the file allowing it to get a bite again. Thin shavings would oxidize away before the teeth were harmed (much  :D ).

i know things are not built the way they was,but I have a Echo trimmer that I had I guess for 25 years and I had the starter replaced last year and I use that poor thing ALOT. That is all I have ever done to it beside the normal filters.I say I have a mile of stone walls to trim around,I use to use it on my grown up pasture. Normal for me to use it steady running 2-3-4 tanks of gas through it. I have a 152 Efco,that I won on here,I've used that quite a bit just for limbing. It's a real nice saw for that.

Prehaps the files are the same as they have always been and the chains are getting harder,approaching "stihl" hardness.Chains must be held to "file hard" as its the most popular sharpening method.If all chains were ground they  could be made much harder and who knows how long they would hold an edge.Only a thought don't shoot.

Also I've heard of chemical sharpening files,I think its just an acid dip.Files do so much and are so cheap a fella might as well change them often,nothing[well almost] feels better then a new sharp file. Frank C.

[barbender]

Files and underwear, change them both often ;D I think if they made saw chain harder the teeth would break off from impacts. Harvester chain is almost exclusively grinder sharpened but it isn't any harder than regular saw chain.

When I go to the wood expo in Bangor I will be looking for those save edge files. Unless I can find a place that has free shipping.  :D

I am always looking for a better file and would like to give SAVE EDGE  a try but a person needs to get more items together to make the shipping cost effective. Ordering them alone will double the price of the files. hmmmmmm sounds like a good reason to browse the BAILEY'S catalog 8)
