re-boring & sharpening

[Cliff Rohrabacher]

I spoke to John over at Ridge Carbide Tool Co., yesterday.

They will re-bore to the Felder pattern & sharpen a complete Dado set for $65.00

I'm sure it's the same for MM, Martin, Altendorf, and SCMI

They will re-bore a 10" 80 tooth blade for $29.00

They will sharpen: a 12" 80 tooth blade for $16.00

They have the ability to do concave grinding on your Ghudo blades.

I think Forrest is a tad pricier. I have no knowledge on how the two companies compare on quality

It's good to know they offer the service. I knew that Forrest did, but having alternatives is always convenient. (Fortunately, I didn't need to worry about this...my slider has a 5/8" arbor...)

Hi Jim, You're spinning a 315mm (13" ) blade on a 5/8" arbor. (Does SWIMBO have some extra insurance on you that you don't know about. :)
I thought that 12" and higher size blades had to have at least a one inch arbor. Isn't that an OSHA spec or something.
Really enjoyed seeing the pictures of you and your family during Dennis Peacock's visit.
take care,
John
