Knife/blade sharpening

Sep 29, 2006 3 Replies

Can anyone recommend a sharpening service in Pittsburgh? Google shows several listings, but I'd like to go on a recommendation if possible. I'm located close to Monroeville, but anywhere within 20 minutes of downtown would be OK. I'm looking to have saw blades and jointer knives sharpened.



What can I expect to pay for sharpening 6" jointer knives and a 60 tooth (carbide) 10" saw blade?



On a related note, I have a Delta 13" planer that uses two double sided blades. I believe that the blades are considered "disposable", but can they be sharpened and reused? A new set of blades costs around $50, so I'd think sharpening, even if only 1 time, would save a good bit.



Thanks,



Mike



Check Lowes for your 22-580 blades. I bought a set there last week for $28. Woodcraft wanted $49.99 for same --dave

Have you considered sharpening your jointer and planer knives yourself?

See my homemade planer/jointer knife sharpening jig:

yes, the disposable two-sided knives can be sharpened too!
