    Blade Sharpening in N Texas??

    Any fellow DFW'ers out there have recommendations/experience with local blade sharpening services? I have 3 Freud blades that need some attention. Thanks in advanced!

    I don't know about any blade sharpening service in DFW (I'm in Tyler) but I have one Freud blade and I send it to Forrest for sharpening along with my WWII's.

    Clark -

    Cook's Sharpening in New Braunfels does good work. I've sent 3 blades down and he's fixing to get my dado set to sharpen.

    Hopefully you can find something local...

    Either Rockler (Plano) or Woodcraft (Plano), or both, offers a sharpen service, but IIRC the store(s) contract with an individual to do sharpening. I hear mild protests that it is a bit slow, since they accumulate a 'batch' and then the guy sharpens the batch.

    I guess the upside is that it could be convenient location?
