Mail-In Sharpening Service

[lago]

I couldn't find where anyone had posted info about this company.

I had the old blades from a 8" Delta jointer that I finished restoring but the local service couldn't sharpen them.

I came across Woodworkers Tool Works www.woodworkerstoolworks.com and gave them a call. They do an exchange instead of sharpening your blades and returning them, resulting in a faster turn-around time. Your blades will then be sharpened and put on the shelf for the next person.

I was quoted a price of .60/inch. Not sure if I got a special price since it is posted 1.00/inch on their website. They will not accept the cheap import blades.

I think the local outfit couldn't sharpen them because they were a thinner blade. After I didn't receive the blades after 2 weeks, I gave them a call and found out that they didn't have the thinner blades so they sharpened mine and were in the process of shipping them back. Got them yesterday and they look like they did a good job.

I plan on using them again.

I checked out the web site and it looks good.

In December, I will be taking back (to the States) several circular saw blades along with a Japanese Hitachi circular saw that I really like. These are metric blades and arbors. Not sure if the company can handle metric arbor holes, but when the time comes, I will give them a call.

Forgot to mention that the I have two blades each of different kerf thicknesses: 1.8 mm; 1.3 mm. and 3 of 1.5 mm I hope they can do this kind of thin kerfs.

I noticed that they sharpen pencils too - with the quote that "we sharpen anything"!
