Local Sharpening Service in Knoxville or Chattanooga

Can anyone recommend a good sharpening service for table saw blades in the Knoxville or Chattanooga areas. Please only recommend services you’ve actually used and would recommend. I’ve been shipping my blades out for a while but am wanting to eliminate the cost of shipping. Thanks!

Not a direct recco, but I had the same issue in NYC. Instead of shipping I now drop blades at a lumber yard that has weekly pickups from the same sharpening service in CT that I was shipping to. Takes longer, about the same cost for the service. The yard does not charge me anything, they get a chip from the service I suppose. Call your favorite lumber dealer and see if the have a provider.
If you have a Woodcraft store available somewhere close by, they usually will have a relationship with a good quality sharpening service. I have found that they will tell you what company they use, and you can deal directly with them.
I still send my blades out to Quinn Saw which does a great job. However, I wait until I have several blades to sharpen and send them all at once in a USPS Priority flat rate box. It works well and the flat rate is reasonable once you have 3 or more blades to sharpen.
