I've never sent a blade out to get serviced until my WW2 40 tooth needed some work. The red blades have been my go to and I just used them until I tossed them or made scrapers out of 'em. Several broken carbides and others were pretty worn. I thought the blade was toast or at least would cost an amount that was close enough to a new one that I should scrap it. I sent it (WW2 40 tooth) to Forest just to see with the instructions to call me with an estimate. I didn't hear anything for a couple weeks-not surprised with Covid and such. Anyway, last week my blade made it back to me. Sharp as can be with a bunch of new tips. Pretty much back to new. There were at least a dozen and a half tips that were replaced. Shipped well and in their wax wrapping and cardboard box.
Total cost? $39.00. 27 to sharpen and 12 to ship-no charge for replacing a bunch to tips.
Pretty good service.
I just bought a forest rip blade to add to the arsenal.
Easy process. I'd do it again in a heartbeat. I steered clear of the spendy blades because I thought sharpening was going to be a PITA. It wasn't. Easy peasy.
