Hi all, I have some of my Freud 10" blades that need sharpening and wondering if there is a place to send them in Minnesota. I do have a few chipped teeth as well. Thanks!
Keep your mouth shut and nobody will know how stupid you are........I should have listened!

Sometimes hardware stores, real lumber yards(not big box), and woodworking type stores act as a pick-up/drop off point for sharpening companies. Here the local Woodcraft store offers that service. Make a few phone calls in your area and I'm sure you'll find someone who can help you find a place you can take your blades.

If you have to send them somewhere, send them to Dynamic Saw in Buffalo, NY. Great people with amazing machines who do excellent work at very fair prices. Replacing carbide tips is no problem, either.

Best,

Not sure if either Rockler, or WoodCraft are local to you, but I have used both places for local sharpening, and have had good luck with the results, quick too.
Worst thing they can do is cook ya and eat ya

Dynamic saw Is really good. A bit closer to you (if you decide to ship) is Bull Sharpening in Oak park IL. Also a full service shop with excellent service. But if you want to stay local, check the leads provided above.
I started with absolutely nothing. Now, thanks to years of hard work, careful planning, and perseverance, I find I still have most of it left.

I have a Freud 10" "Fusion" blade I've been hapoy with, but it needs sharpening. It has some kind of proprietary tooth geometry that, I think, requires a special sharpening technique. Of the two Freud certified sharpening services in my state (SC), one doesn't answer the phone and the other one never heard of a "Fusion" blade. Has anyone had a Frued "Fusion" blade sharoened successfully. It f so who sharpend it?
This question is related to the OP's original post. Hope it isn't a hijack. TIA. Hank

I believe I first used Atlas because it is a licensed sharpener for Tenryu blades. I have had Freud blades sharpened there also, but not a Fusion.
