- I was recently reading a back issue of WOOD, in which there was a one-liner
- about sharpening dado blades. They said to be sure to ask your sharpener
- to grind to at least 400 grit, as 180 grit would not restore the edge
- well enough.
-
- That made me realize I have no idea about how to select a quality tool
- sharpening service, what they should cost, etc.
-
- Does anyone have anything else to offer, besides the "sharpen to 400"
- criterion? What should you ask for, look for, etc?
