At SharpSaws we specialize in sharpening Woodmizer band saw blades, and other blades with a similar tooth profile. Our team of highly skilled professionals use state-of-the-art equipment to ensure precision and accuracy with every sharpening job we do. We have 5 Woodmizer BMS500 sharpeners, and 3 BMT250 automatic tooth setters to expedite your orders.
We follow a strict process to ensure that your saws are sharpened to perfection. Our process includes inspection, cleaning, sharpening, setting, and testing. Utilizing full profile CBN shaped wheels that match your blade profile, we grind the entire tooth profile to achieve maximum performance on your sawmill. We use only the best sharpening techniques and tools to ensure that your saws are sharp and ready to use.
At SharpSaws, we are committed to providing our customers with the highest quality saw sharpening services. We take pride in our work and strive to exceed our customers' expectations. Customer satisfaction is our top priority.
We also own and operate a commercial sawmill specializing in large and long beams and timbers, so we have the expertise required to fine tune your blades to your operation.
While we specialize in resharpening Wood-Mizer bandsaw blades using the same 8" full profile CBN wheels that Wood-Mizer uses in manufacturing, we can resharpen many other manufactures blades that use a similar tooth profile. For example, Jerry's Resharp ripper 37's, or TimberDog use a 7/40 tooth profile that can be easilly sharpened using a 7/39.5 wheel. The same wheel used to sharpen Woodmizer 7/39 blades.

Price per blade 1" through 1 1/2" in width
Price per blades 2 - 3" in width there is a Setup Fee of $35 for any # of blades, PLUS
If you have excessively soiled or rusty blades expect a $2.00 / blade cleaning charge.
We run 1 1/4" - 1 1/2" blades daily. It takes a lot longer to set up for 3" blades, so we generally gang them together and sharpen them every 3 weeks, running all the 2" and 3" orders together. Please plan ahead, or expect a bit of a delay.
Any blades not picked up within 3 weeks after notification that they are ready will be scrapped or sold to recoup the sharpening fee.
We can also provide advice on which saw blade is best suited for your needs. For some applications changing the tooth set allows your saw to perform significantly better.
Blades are typically reset to 0.020" - 0.028" per side. If you consistently saw thinner logs, or use a lower horsepower mill, you may want to reset your teeth to allow for a thinner kerf. This requires less HP from your mill and allows you to saw faster. If you are sawing wider logs, you may want to increase the tooth set to allow a bigger kerf to help remove sawdust more efficiently. This helps to keep the blade cool and maintain blade tension. Loss, or lack of blade tension is a sure way to start sawing wavy lumber. All resharpened blades are set to Woodmizer specs. If you prefer a different set for your application we are happy to oblige you at no extra charge as part of our resharp process. We can also reset your existing blades to match a specific need, please call for exact pricing, but it's about half the cost of a resharpened and set blade.
We try not to compete with established Saw Manufactures, so If you are a current Wood-Mizer blade user and want new blades, we would refer you to the local dealer in Gresham. If you have a unique need that they can't fill, we have a working relationship with a few manufacturers and can typically get you a product that will work well for you.
We offer affordable saw sharpening training for those who want to learn how to sharpen their own saws. Our courses cover all aspects of saw sharpening, including blade selection, sharpening techniques, and maintenance. We provide hands-on training to ensure you have the skills you need to sharpen your own saws.
We work with several full scale commercial mills that can produce up to 1,600,000 BF of lumber in a day. We are familiar with and supply some of the automation and specialty products used in these mills. For our own operation, we have scaled down, and implemented many of these automation features. Log Infeed decks with stop loaders, powered rollcases, dead roll cases, cross transfer chain systems, out feed transfer chains with or without airbag lifts, VFD implemention to allow us to drive 3 phase motors at any speed or direction, supplied by a single phace AC input. We have a heavily modified Wood-Mizer LX450 onsite that can demonstrate these features, and a full production CNC Fabrication Shop that can help create them for your own use as well.
We provide training for new sawyers also. We can provide training to help you get the most out of the SimpleSet or Accuset features of your mill as well.
TRAINING AND TOURS ARE BY AN ADVANCED APPOINTMENT ONLY!
Our team works with several full scale commercial operations that can produce upwards of 1,600,000 Board Feet of lumber per day. We can help you implement the same techniques they use for log and lumber handling on a smaller scale that will dramatically improve your production.
