Recommendations for getting circular blades sharpened in Sydney?
guys, who can you recommend to sharpen some blades for my panel saw, in Sydney?
I know Henry Bros will do it, and am considering posting 4 blades to them, but was wondering if there was anyone else worth considering?

TN,
Leitz Tooling, Smithfield, 97572664.
They will pick up and deliver.
Not sure how they compare in cost, but they seem reasonable.
They also repair damaged teeth.

Hi TN,
I've used Leuco at Revesby and found them to be good.

Thanks for the reply guys. I'm near Bankstown, and that makes Revesby nice and close. Any idea what is a reasonable price to pay for their services ??

Sharpening saw blades in Sydney
40 to 50 cents per tooth for TCT blades is OK. Old Pete

Sorry TN, I can't remember what I paid at Leuco. I don't think it was too unreasonable though.

Leuco are perfect, Timbernut. They're one of the world leaders.
I think about $20 a blade is about right, but, as Pete said, it depends on the number of teeth. Been a while since I've had mine sharpened. Leuco are likely to be more expensive, but you'll be getting a job done properly.
Cheers,
eddie

I got my 2 done last year by Henry Bros. A 24t and a 60t blade plus postage costed around $40 or something like that. I remember they said its normally $12 per blade plus postage. That is pretty close to eddie's estimate. It was a job well done and I rang them the next day to thank them. (cos I am a nice guy )

Cheers guys. I ended up posting 4 blades to Henry Bros. Ended up costing about $110 I think. that was for 1 x 24t, 1 x40t, and 2 x 80t blades.
I'll be getting them back early next week, so we'll see how they came out.
