I need a recommendation for a good saw blade sharpening service. I'm in Virginia so anything on the east coast would be preferred to save on shipping and time.
I send my less expensive blades to a sharpener that contracts to Woodcraft. I assume they would not use someone that would damage their rep with the local woodworkers. My Forrest blade ONLY goes directly to Forrest. They have all the contact and shipping info on their website. They're a bit pricey, but they do a very good job and check every tooth. IIRC they will replace a certain number of teeth (if needed) under the base sharpening charge.Frank - I realize I can use a local shop. However, the shops in Northern VA don't really have the setup to really sharpen higher quality saw blades. They say that they do but I've not heard very many good reviews. I was thinking about Forest or a similar shop that has the right tools to do it right. Last thing I need is to take a $90 blade and screw it up and pay for it.....
I'm not trying to put down your need or anything. But I see posts like this occasionally and they really puzzle me. Reason is, I have never seen a small town without several independent professional sharpeners in the area. ....
Or come to my town Frank. There isn't one here that I can find or anywhere close by.
Mark, he is not local but I have never heard anything but good about Scott's (Whitting??) Sharpening Service in Phoenix. He gets rave reviews on Woodnet. Just one to keep in mind.
