Default Saw blade charpening

With several saw blades on hand, I hate to purchase more to replace the dull
ones. Therefore, I'm considering having them sharpened and asking those who
sharpen their blades for recommendations.

I have also considered the option of doing it myself, though I can imagine
the machine is expensive. BUT...I saw a blade sharpening machine from Harbor
Freight and wondered if anyone uses it? Yea yea, HF, I know, don't do it,
but sometimes they have a gem in the rough.

All inputs appreciated.



I sent mine to Ridge Carbide Tool. Google them and you'll find the
pricing and so forth. I was ready to trash the DeWalt blade that came
with my miter saw after it was used to cut lots of laminate flooring.
I lent it to someone figuring I'd just upgrade to a Ridge blade when
he was done. Instead, I sent it along with a couple of other blades.
It came back better than when it was new. Some things are best left
to the pro.
