Bandsaw blade sharpener for hobby sawer

[farmfromkansas]

Looks like the real plus to getting a sharpener, is you take your band off the mill before it is dull, put another band on and keep cutting, and you don't run your band till it is about used up, probably cutting the life of the band.

I often see comments about a blade starting to get dull.  Fact is a blade never starts to get dull.  It is either sharp or dull.  Sharp blades saw and dull blades are removed and resharpened.  Whether you resharpen yourself or it is done by whoever else matters not. Squeezing something out of a blade is very bad economics.  You get bad sawing plus you are reducing the life of the blade.
