Does anyone have any recommendations for a good blade sharpeing service. The only local place I've found sends their blades out anyway, so I'd just a soon mail it out, that would actually make it easier on me.
And they'll sharpen anything. Even a Soopasuck Lameblade.
Haven't used them, just regurgitating ambient knowledge. People say stuff comes back almost as good as a big dollar Forrest blade, and they're extremely reasonable about everything. I plan to send all my blades in that direction One Of These Days(tm).
I though I had a good service in Houston, all computer automated, but 2 weeks after using them I was dissatisfied with the results and sent the Forrest blade to Forrest. It came back like new.
Wow... you've compacted paragraphs into that sentence... well done!
Over the years, I've found myself giving folks advice, some very technical, on stuff i've never done... mostly on trucks so far, as I've been in those NGs the longest... It's like you become a walking FAQ by reading so many posts on the different subjects.. *g*
Ridge Carbide Tools. They do have a web site with all the costs and how best to ship. They do router bits also. They did a couple of blades for me and the DeWalt came back better than news.
CNC grinding machines, as you found out, don't ensure a good product. If you program them or set them up to produce crap, they will produce the most perfect crap imaginable and do it time after time.
Well the job was not a bad one, it just did not compare to the new Forrest blade that I had just bought. So I sent the older Forrest back to Forrest. Also, Forrest will retrue the blade. My local service does not do this. But I agree, like a PC, the information going in determines the quality of the information coming out.
Amen!! Been a machinist for 35 yrs. Just like anything else, if the person behind the tool isn't paying attention, you get crap. Old tools or state-of-the-art.
