Shopsmith Forums

Hi all,

new to the forum. been using my SS for a couple years now and was wondering if the carbide saw blades can be sharpened. If so, is there a place in the Dayton area that does this type of work?

Thanks for any info.

Yes they can be sharpened. I suggest your try these folks - http://www.forrestsawbladesonline.com/f ... ening.html

I don't know the Daytom area so can not make a recommendation there. Maybe you should contact the Shopsmith folks there in Dayton at 18005437586

Thanks for the info, do you know a phone number? I looked on the web and could find anything, not even a Avondale St. in Dayton.

I'd suggest you try to contact Nick with your question. I'd email him at his Kitty Hawk email address as well as the forum one. http://www.wright-brothers.org

While the above was all the information that I received from Nick, I have now found more information on the web;

Jim Shupert
99 Avondale Dr.
Dayton, OH 45404
937-233-5144

Nick mentioned Shupert in at least one of the Sawdust Sessions. Let me know how you make out, as I am considering sending some blades to Shupert. I was very dissatisfied with my local sharpening service.

It doesn't look like they have a webpage.

Thanks for the info everyone. I'll give them a call and let you know what I find out.

Thanks Again

Using Google and the two street addresses, you'll find that Shupert and Son's The Sharpening and Shopsmith are not all that far apart. If you are at Shopsmith, take off across country to the south east and you'll find yourself on the Eagle Golf Course a little bit northwest of Shupert and Sons.

Wish I could go along and help you find both.

Has anyone had any luck sharpening their own blades? Seems to me a file and vice is all you would need. Could also make a "jig" for the correct angle?! I've not done the blades but have had success with drill bits and a dremel. Just wondering..
