    Carbide Saw Blades
    I would like to know if someone out there knows of an affordable tool to sharpen your own carbide and non carbide 10 inch saw blades?

    Let me know if you find one, I never have. Sharpening any blade let alone carbide requires the proper tools and equipment. I have not found an affordable alternative than a pro. I do shop around by phone and get prices. Oddly enough ACE has given me the lowest price most of the time.
