I have an array of sharpening equipment for providing sharpening services for both sawmills and wood workers too. All of my sharpeners are Wood-Mizer - I use both full profile CBN and abrasive/vitrified wheels... depending on the condition of the blade. I also use Cooks and Suffolk equipment in the process. I am also the exclusive distributor of full-profile CBN wheels for www.rixsaws.com If you have a CBN sharpener, you don't know what you're missing. Its like comparing apples and oranges to the W-M CBN wheels.

Can you give us some information and prices on your "sharpening" services? I'm always on the look out for a reliable source. I've been using TimberKing only because I bought my mill from them. Thanks.....

Hey Harry, long time no see! Here is the information for the guy I use. He does the best job of anybody I've ever used. Yes even better than Woodmizer IMHO. When he comes across a questionable blade, he doesn't just throw it in the trash knowing he's going to be selling you more blades. He tries to fix it the best he can and let's you decide when it's no good. Every blade I've ever sent to him has come back sharper than new. He's got a few mills of his own & knows what works and what doesnt. Try him, I guarantee you'll be glad you did.

I offer re-sharpening services for band sawmill blades. Your blades will be cleaned, inspected, flatness of blade body checked (corrected only if required), teeth set, and finally, sharpened to a razor edge. I employ a variety of equipment from Wood-Mizer, Cooks, and Suffolk Machinery.
As stated above, all sharpeners are Wood-Mizer and I utilize both CBN full-profile wheels and abrasive/vitrified wheels. The sharpeners all use coolant during to the process to ensure the original temper of the tooth is maintained, which is extremely important to how long the blade will perform and it's overall longevity.
Teeth are set within a 0.0015 tolerance - both tooth to tooth and side to side. This ensures the smoothest cut possible and also allows the blade to remove the same amount of material from each side of the cut. Making for straighter cuts, flatter lumber and better overall performance.
Shipping is not included. I have found FedEx to be the least expensive carrier. They also seem to take better care of packages in my experience. Flat-packing your blades will save more on costs as well.
Rates are: $7.00 per blade - relatively clean and undamaged. $8.00 for blades over 15 ft. in length
Blades with excessive pitch, rust, damage or curvature issues are subject to small add'l fee to cover the wear on the tooling.
If I can be of service to you, just send me a PM. I'll be more than glad to explain my services further and answer any questions you may have. I am a sawyer myself, so I KNOW what it takes to make a blade perform to its maximum potential. Your blades will be serviced with the same attention to detail, just as if they were my own. I provide quality services... not quantity. I guarantee my work.
I look forward to hearing from you.
I also offer sharpening services for:
Circular Saw Blades - both Std. and Carbide Planer Blades - up to 24" Yes, I also re-sharpen the "disposable" blades too.* Chipper Knives - depending on type

Thanks for the information CE and WB. When I have enough band saw blades to sharpen, they will be coming to you. (normally I wait till I have 10 blades or so) Do I need to pre-alert you when I send. Or, just ship them with a return address information inside the box? And, how do I pay for them...... credit card? Thanks....
P.S. I'm copying the address and phone number that WB supplied and putting it in the box that has my dull blades in. That's because I forget where I put stuff sometimes when I need it - LOL

You won't be disappointed... guaranteed Having a heads up would be nice. That way I know when they are coming and can schedule accordingly. I prefer to be here when blades arrive in the event there is damage. But, if they just show up unannounced, that's fine too. Payment can be made easiest by PayPal, but a personal check or money order is fine too. Whatever is the most convenient. I sent a PM with contact info. I look forward to being of service
