Does any one get their circular saw blades sharpened any more? My Dad
used to take his carbide-toothed blades in regularly to get them
"touched up", especially when he needed a really clean cut. My
neighbor says it costs more in time and gas, a new blade is cheaper.

For some blades, I think it's worthwhile. I'm always driving right
past the shop. And for the price of some of these blades, it'd better
be! Tom
In response to Barry, this is the sixth handsaw they have sharpened, the
other 5 had to be stoned, but after that, they were better than new.

I send my Forrest WWII and my Tenryu to Forrest for sharpening. I used to
get my blades sharpened locally, but I had some blades ruined one time.
Circle saw has sharpened the Tenryu for me and did a good job. They are 20
miles from my house, so it is cheaper to mail the blades to Forrest.
