[Unisaw A100]

Here's the idea of the thread. If you know of a good local sharpening service respond by giving the name of the service and where they are located (city and state please).

IDAGS. How can I tell when I need a good sharpening service for my TS carbide blades? Are there objective things to look for?

Yes, a good source of potable water.

WTF? Circle Saw of Tucson. Good water from the ground, augmented with Colorado river water from a ditch. Tom

Someday, it'll all be over....

I send my friends to Paul's Grinding in Winnipeg, Canada - just south of Lake Winnipeg, one of the largest lakes in the world.

I'd like to find on around the St. Louis area. I'm south of St. Louis about

100 miles and there is nothing in this area that I've been able to find so since we drive to St. Louis about every month or so finding a good sharpening service up in that area would be great.

Good: D&R Saw and Tool Dallas, TX

Bad Precision Tool & Construction Tucson, AZ. I had planer and jointer blades sharpened there last summer. a) They didn't remove the wire from the blade, b) The blades weren't even placed in the fixture straight, the machining was significantly crooked. I'm going to have to have these things re-sharpened just to use them. Pointing out my concerns to the guy at PT&C -- he didn't seem to see anything wrong.

??? What does drinking water have to do with knowing whether or not it is time to have a saw blade sharpened?

You're supposed to sharpen those things? I've been throwing my saws out and buying new ones.

Saw Supply Monrovia, CA - (Just East of Pasadena)

Their custom blades are IMHO, are better and have more carbide than any I have ever used.

I thought a bit slow, but they made my well worn dado set better than new.

Sorry, I thought you were trying to take the thread off topic. :-)

Wood burning and cuts becoming harder are good signs.

[Mike at American Sycamore]

I will second that Dan. I have used this service for the school and I recommend ACT. Many know this as the old Leggitt Saw and Tool. They have taken on new partners and purchased the latest sharpening equipment and they do an exceptionally good job.
