Abstract
A solution and process for chemically resharpening smoothing tools, forming tools, and cutting tools such as files, jigsaw blades, hacksaw blades, coping saw blades, bandsaw blades, and other tools. The solution contains preferred concentrations of acid and water. The tools are immersed in the solution for a period of from 1 minute to 12 hours depending upon the wear to the tools, the size of the tools, and the number of times the solution has been reused, at the end of which the tools are removed, wiped, and allowed to air dry so that rust resistant property in the solution adheres to the tools.
Claims4
A process for chemically resharpening forming tools, smoothing tools, and cutting tools which comprises the steps of:
- providing a solution comprising 1% to 99% by volume of at least one acid and further introducing at least one whetting agent into said solution to enhance resharpening characteristics of said solution;
- immersing a tool in said solution;
- and
- subsequently removing said tool from said solution.
A process for chemically resharpening forming tools, smoothing tools, and cutting tools which comprises the steps of:
- providing a solution comprising 1% to 99% by volume of at least one acid and further introducing at least one accelerant into said solution to substantially enhance said acid thus effecting improved resharpening characteristics of said solution;
- immersing a tool in said solution;
- and
- subsequently removing said tool from said solution.
