Circular saw sharpening

circular saw blades are cheap. Just buy a 6 pack.

How much are you spending on a circular saw blade?

There was a thread on this a short while back.

There’s a place just south of St Amant High School that apparently sharpens blades. Pass the sign everyday.

spend about 40-50 a blade

for a 71/4 blade? Yikes you are paying almost triple what a decent blade cost

I've got a PCD-tipped 10" miter saw blade that was well over $100. Forrest, CMT, Tenryu? They can get to $200. I've got a small stack of saw blades that need sharpening, probably get the sharpener from HF one of these days.

I sent blades out in the pass and they never lasted that long at sharpening.

Now on my sawmill, I sharpen those myself.

I use a 40T ridge carbide on my table saw. I'll send that one off for sharpening. For a 7 1/4" circular saw blade, I used the diablos at homedepot ($10) and throw them away when their dull.

I agree. I highly suggest ridge carbide for sharpening and for their blades.
