Sorry this isn't 100% rodbuilding related, but I can't think of a better group of folks to ask. I need a sharpening service for jointer/planer blades, as the only man I ever trusted with my vintage jointer/planer blades has passed, and I'm down to 1 dull set and one that needs a little fine tuning. Thanks for any replies, and no, I don't want to sharpen my own; I feel good about sharpening chisels and turning tools but leave the long stuff to the pros.

Thanks again,

Walt

if you have a local woodworking shop ask them...I have Klingspors locally here and they offer blade sharpening for saw blades and planers as well..i think they send it out. but start there and you will find a resource

Thanks JP I might talk to Woodcraft (my only local woodworking shop), but I've heard some negative comments about them. Any idea if Klingspors is going to be at the show trhis year? don't remember seeing them on the list, and I'm in need of a new lathe also????

i don't think so...you may be able to go to their website and see if they offer sharpening...that will be out of the headquarters in Hickory nc...336-768-9663 is the number for the store in Winston-Salem( my local store)...they may be able to help you if you can't find anything locally for you

Walt,

I used to own a countertop shop, and had a local guy sharpen all my saw blades and router bits. He is a one person show, runs the business, sharpens the blades and bits. He has all the necessary machinery in his store. He also sells blades, bits, etc.

You might give him a call, and talk to him about mailing the blades to him. Can't speak for him on that aspect. Ron Butler - Butler Saw Sharpening, Lawrenceville, GA. Phone (770) 963-2522
