FAQ for Blade Sharpening
The frequency of sharpening depends on how often you use your saw blade and the type of material you cut. Generally, saw blades used for woodworking should be sharpened every 10-20 hours of use, while blades used for cutting metal or concrete should be sharpened every 2-3 hours of use.
While there are DIY sharpening kits available, we recommend leaving saw blade sharpening to the professionals. Improper sharpening techniques can damage the blade, and it's difficult to achieve the same level of precision as a professional sharpening service.
We can sharpen all types of saw blades, including circular saw blades, cold saw blades, and handsaw blades. We also work with blades made of different materials, such as carbide, diamond, and steel.
Signs that your saw blade needs sharpening include a decrease in cutting speed, a decrease in the quality of the cut, and an increase in the amount of sawdust produced.
Actual sharpening time takes only a few hours for a blade. That said, due to high demand we guarantee a lead time of 3 weeks - with the hope that we'll get your blade back to you in 1 week.
You can place an order for saw blade sharpening on our website or onsite in our store. Simply fill in the form with what you've got someone will be in contact with you within 24 hours to discuss moving forward. We offer free shipping for orders over a certain amount.
