saw blade sharpening

Post by forrestb »

We have Anderson Saw in Hawthorne, CA and am wondering if anyone has used them? Their web site says that they have the 'latest' Vollmer system.

Their quoted prices are 24T $16.54, 50T $22.79, 60T $23.73. Fair?

Has anyone checked if Forrest (no relation, drat!) is still sharpening?

Thanks
Forrest

According to this site's forum Forrest is still open but don't sharpen Festool Blades.
Heads up if you have any.

My understanding is if it's a Forrest blade they will service it. Not sure about other brands. I need to send mine in before Fall and project season.
