Oops......um, that's "sharpening".


Are they carbide blades or just regular steel? The only thing the HF
POS is good for is for a trash bag weight.


What shortcomings did you find it to have?

Depending on where you live
there should be a sharpening service around somewhere. Ask around at
the lumber yards or call a local sawmill if needed.


If they were expensive, sharpen them. Otherwise the $20 specials at
the Borg are really just a disposable blade.

The stupid thing wouldn't hold an angle for more than 3 teeth. Luckily
I borrowed it because if I had paid good money for it, it would have
been in pieces. I was sharpening some Oldham blades that I use for PT
lumber so no big loss but frustrating none the less.
