I appreciate the review, Doug. Although I don't sharpen saw blades
anymore, I do remember when that was part of my lunch break - a
Nicholson #8 mill ******* and a couple of blades clamped to the
sawhorses.

If it does what you want, great! But you might consider on the
carbide blades that the thin bodies of some of the blades can warp and
distort after a good amount of use, making really accurate cuts a
problem even after sharpening.

Now the old, thick carbides that are C2, you can still buy for about
$4.95, sometimes a buck less each in a 3 in Creedo, american Carbide,
Irwin, etc. brand. They are great to saw in ridge vent, cut up
debris, framing tasks and to let the helpers use. When they are dull,
they go in the trash.

Better saw blades that I buy for my circular saw can be $15 to $20
each blade, plus shipping. To me, that might be worth a look.

But the important thing to look at is that you could sharpen your 10"
blades on there as well. If you are doing a lot of utility type
ripping and wanting to touch up a general purpose blade, that could be
a helluva deal. I have no doubt it won't match a factory set and
sharpen, but for a tune up on utility blades it could be pretty
useful. That could be where that machine shines.

Let's see..... if I could sharpen a $40 blade well enough to bring it
back to usefulness in a half hour, I would save $40, with no gas, tax,
or travel time. So at an hourly rate of $80, I would be doing pretty
well.

That would work for me! SERIOUSLY. ;^)

I hope you let us know if you do some bigger sizes.
