Jointer Knife sharpening service

I know the carbides are more money but if u can spend the $20-$30 on new knives get them this way when u have to put any to sharpen u have a back up pair. i think rockler sharpens them don’t know about the quality of it though.

You need diamond wheels to sharpen carbide.
Look in your local yellow pages for sharpening services or check the largest local city yellow pages. Also check with local cabinet shops and see who they recommend. There has to be someone within a reasonable distance.

Rockler sends them out to a service.
If you want to ship them www.ridgecarbidetool.com www.bullsharp.com and http://www.ctsaw.com/service.html are but three reputable services.

THanks rick. I’ve actually found one called Cammel saw co. His name is dennis and he is very reasonable. I’m getting the three knives sharpened for $18 total + return shipping. Can’t beat that. I’ve seen comparable prices of $2 and $2.50 per inch which would come out to around $60 including shipping. I’ll post here again once I’ve gotten them back to see how they turn out. The company is in Canton, OH.

I use America Grinding & Sales, LLC in Kansas City, Missouri for my sharpening and blade purchases. I picked up a new 3 blade set of 6in HSS knives, a grade better than what came with my jointer for $24.00 about a year ago. Owner is Rusty at www.americagrinding-sales.com, hope this helps, BTKS
