Thread: Sawblade sharpening

You might try ringing Specialty Saws in Croydon, they do a fair range but you did not mention a specific type/material of blade. Otherwise look for saw doctors in the various directories

I go to Sharp Edge Australia, Unit 9, 1880 Hume Highway, Campbellfield
ph: 9357 7382 opposite the FORD FACTORY
Have always found them to be very friendly and helpful, and happy with their service.

Specialty Saws, Factory 22, 513 - 515 Maroonda Highway, Ringwood.
ph: 9870 5066
I haven't actually used them but they been mentioned here before.


As malb said do a search in the yellow pages - Sharpening Services i'm sure you will find one closer to you.

I use Northern Sharpening Service 32 Trade Place COBURG ( 03) 9350 4262.

They have been great. They also make up my band saw blades from stock material ..and cheaper than off-the-shelf at well known timber/tool suppliers ( guess where they get their blades from?..similar sources )
They have a factory and do the work onsite...and know their trade well.
Some "sharpening" places simply take your blades and send them off to factories like "Northern"..with an added markup..PLUS it takes longer!

From Templestowe, west down Bell St, into Murray Rd and then north of the old Pentrige Gaol. They are near the now defunct Kodak factory.

(If you search on HOTFROG business directory under saw sharpening you will also get an alphabetical list of others, including franchises, closer to home.)

However, I can recommend "Northern".....as a customer.

Cheers

THanks a lot fellas I'll give northern sharpening a call only because its closer to home . If I'm not happy I'll try the others.

Thanks again

Brian

I have also used Northern Sharpening with satisfaction.
Trade Place is off Newlands Rd as described above

They moved to Coolstore Rd Croydon about 4 years ago. Great guys. Originally suggested them as OP profile suggested he was in Lower Templestowe, and SS is the nearest that I know of to that are. They are also full service and do all their work themselves. For industrial customers the have a twice weekly collect/return service, and will pick up blades one day, work them the next and return them 2 days after collection, no extra charge.
