Sent ts55 blade in to be sharpened and they removed all the color coding off.

I tried a new outfit yesterday and when I received my blade back, festools color markings where removed.

I am a little upset about this. Is this normal to get blades back this way and I am going to go and say something, but I wanted your opinions and stories of your blades.

And how do I know a place has sharpened our saw blades well?

The other place I got mine sharpened did not remove the coloring the blade came back looking brand new and had a light coat of oil on it as well as the usual rubber on the teeth.

Thats why I'm a little ticked I like that festool color coding has been removed  now that I have so many blades.

So if its normal for some places to do that I will have to keep going to the old place.

The color on the blades doesn't appear to be a silk screen printing, but a paint that comes off easily with cleaner, as in blade cleaner.  That's part of the sharpening and evaluation process - cleaning a blade.  Maybe if enough customers complain, Festool will change the application process.

A water based cleaner might not remove the color compare to a solvent based cleaner.  That might have been your difference.

Really?

The paint wears off from normal use anyways.
