Jointer blade sharpening service

I just can't get my jointer blades sharpened correctly. I tried making my own version of the Duelen sharpening jig, but it's just not working out that well for me and I'm tired of futzing around with it. Does anybody have any recommendations for a sharpening service? The blades I need sharpened are an odd size - 4-1/4".

length should have nothing to do with it but price, they usually charge by the inch. Do a search on the net by you, better hardware stores usually are connected to a service/shop that they send out to.

This is a service that I offer. I have a Mark V Power Station with tillable table set up with the Shopsmith conical sanding disk and the Shopsmith Joiner/Planer Knife Sharpener. I have sharpen dozens of Shopsmith joiner knives for customers over many years. Contact me off-line for prices.

Heath if ya use a local sharpening service their will get them sharp, BUT I bet they will take the max amount to sharpen them. Which will leave ya with knives at the minimum width or less for use. I'd go with Bill M.
