Where can I inexpensively re-sharpen table saw blades? I live in NJ.


"inexpensive" is in the eyes of the beholder. What does "inexpensive"
mean to you?

Table saw blade sharpening is priced per tooth; but you're buying the
skills and attention to detail of the sharpening guy. I take mine to a
local woodturning friend who has just started his own sharpening
service. He went to school to learn the skills and has invested a lot of
time and money in his new tooling. I don't recall exactly, but I think I
paid about $12 - $15 per 50 tooth blade and the cut quality is very good
to excellent.

Additionally, I've not found much variation in pricing from one place to
the next over the last 5 years or so. I used to take my blades to
industrial sharpening shops that cater to the milling shops and the
Oregon lumber industry. They charge about the same as everyone else.
