Do you put a drop of bar oil on the carbide when you sharpen? I read where some thought that made it even better

I haven't tried that yet, but I will for sure try it the next time!! The little saw needs sharpened, so I will have to remember to try the oil on it.

I picked up a Craftsman sharpener (like a Dremmel with a guide) at a lawn sale for $2. Have been using the Dremmel stones but found they wear out quickly so recently I found some diamond stones. They seem to cut really well and are showing no sign of wear.

Good idea there on the diamond. A drop of oil might make them last longer also

Thanks. I'll give that a try.
