Hi Tom & Peter,

What would be a reasonable/typical charge for sharpening an 80 tooth Festool blade for the TS 55?

TIA, Dick

 

[Peter Kelly]

An 80 tooth blade is $15 plus shipping at Dynamic. You can fit several 10 inch or 260mm blades into a USPS Medium Flat Rate box, worth sending several in one go. I usually get everything back from them within a week.

60 tooth is $15.00, 80 tooth $20.00.

As mentioned above ship as many as you can at one time to keep shipping costs down. I normally ship 20-25 blades at a time.

I let Ridge Carbide sharpen my blades for my Kapex, ts55, table saw, and planer and they all came back as good as new.

If you have a Leitz nearby, use them. They make the Festool blades, as well as other high end blades.

+1 of Leitz. I use their NC facility. You will need to call to setup an account with a CC. Minimum order is $100. There work is outstanding and very timely. Maybe a week and 1/2. I usually send a few blades at a time. The last time I sent some auger drill bits for sharpening as they are expensive enough not to discard and buy new. They also do router bits I think.

Anyone have a link to the Leitz service? I can't get any where with searches to find pricing, shipping, etc..

[member=1619]SRSemenza[/member]  I'm in Australia, so might be different for you, but you would need to contact their sales rep/office. Leitz down here actually pick up the blades and return them the next week, so you need to open an account with them.

Here is a start based on a simple google search.

Leitz offices

Yeah, looks like they are not set up to just have people fill out a form , send them in, and ship them back. Can't find any pricing either. Searches get company site / offices. Then you have to contact them, etc.

No big deal. I have already shipped a stack of blades else where. Just wondered about pricing and procedure for comparison.

I only used Leitz once when Forrest turned down my request to sharpen Kapex blades. I shipped them off to the Michigan facility and the process was kind of involved. I had to sign up for an account and there was a $100? minimum sharpening charge. I was very happy with the results because it was only a 7-10 day turnaround. After that I just purchased a couple of extra blades and am still working on those.

I just take mine to a local sharpening shop.
