Good design is timeless. Armstrong swages have been a favorite of filers for decades. Years ago, Armstrong designed and built a good, solid, dependable swage. Today Armstrong provides a complete line of swages for every type and size of saw. We continue to "fine tune" our original design, ensuring you the best tool available for the job.

ARMSTRONG SWAGES FEATURE:
  • Precision machining of all parts for accurate, reliable swaging day after day, year after year.

  • Made-to-fit spare parts readily available through Armstrong or a network of stocking distributor/service centers.
  • Each tool carefully balanced for ease of operation and minimum operator fatigue.
  • Both the clamp screw and die levers are easily adjusted for operator comfort.
  • Extra long eccentric die for maximum life.
  • Substantial, hardened clamp screws with extra large rings on the points.
  • Simple, precise adjustment for regulating the amount of "pull down" of the tooth point.
  • Dies available in 3+ styles in all sizes from �" and up.
ARMSTRONG SWAGES FOR CIRCULAR SAWS:

Bench-type Swages
Armstrong offers a "bench-type" swage for use on circular saws. All bench style swages come complete with rail, pivoting bracket, and setting gauge. The rail is easily mounted on the bench for stability, while the setting gauge measures the correct position of the swage to the saw.

Riding-type Swages
Armstrong’s No. 8 hand swage is a tool specifically designed for use on shingle saws. The No. 8 "rides" on top of the saw as shown in the center photo.

Bench Attachment
Armstrong also offers a bench attachment for holding circular saws on the bench during swaging and shaping (part no. 666). The attachment comes complete with centering cones for saw eyes from 7/8" to 4 �" in diameter.

ARMSTRONG AIR SWAGES OFFER:

Greater Uniformity
Each stroke of the die lever is automatically completed, assuring more uniform tooth prints, smoother sawing and greater cutting capacity.

Greater Speed
Swaging can be accomplished much faster – easily keeping pace with any automatic sharpener.

Greater Ease of Operation
Armstrong air swages reduce the physical effort required in swaging. Depending on operator preference, swages can be furnished with the standard pistol grip control or with an automatic air trigger assembly.
