Who knows of a good saw sharpening service?

[Mike H]

I need to have my table saw blades sharpened and I can't find anyone locally. There used to be 2, but they have passed on.

call around to the cabinet/millwork shops. They will know. Landscapers too.

I use Super Thin Saws in Waterbury, VT. They mail them out to a sharpening service I think. You could call them and ask. I have mailed blades to be sharpened in the past, and a priority mail box is a good easy way to package them. You need to pad them well as the blades will chew up the box. I have a tote made of plywood with a bolt to secure the blades. It fits inside the pre-paid priority mail box.

How about hand saws? Our local sharpening service stopped doing them about 5 years ago.

Good luck with that. There's a couple guys around here but the wait time is months. Makes my skin crawl thinking that I might have to start filing my own saws. I'd rather have root canal....

Google Saw Doctor. He's up in Providence RI. I sent my saws to him for a long time but found somebody closer. Crazy expensive.

Is there a Rockler or Woodcrafter or other woodworkers store near you? Often they will have a send out service. I take mine to the local Rockler store and they send them out. I get them back in about a week.

Its boring and tedious and that damned screech from the file....and its not like riding a bike. If you dont do it often its tough to get it righ for a while

I knew a fellow who intended to send his tenon saw for sharpening a few years ago.The driver from the sharpening service walked in the door and was handed the saw-only to reply our guy retired three weeks ago and we don't do them any more...

These folks do an awesome job.

I have a local place that does circular saw blades (when I don't feel like it) and jointer & planer knives. He doesn't do hand saws, so those I have to do on my own.
