ATF 65 Blades and Sharpening

[jeffinsgf]

Any recommendations on where to have my blades sharpened? Just as important, anywhere that I can find blades for my ATF 65? The two that I have are part #486 297. I would love to find a couple more and a reliable place to have the ones I have ground to factory specs.

Regarding new blades:  Still available thru Festool USA.  You may order thru a dealer or call Festool directly and order them like spare parts.

Thanks, Peter.

Leitz make the blades for Festool, so they're always a good option for sharpening. I'm sure you could buy a blade for your 65 direct from them as well.

Thanks Lincoln. I was leaning toward them, already. Good to know they make the blades to begin with.
