   Piccioni, check the pricing again, I'm pretty sure you got the price for replacing a tooth. Fees do run based upon the number of teeth but a 40 tooth blade should run in the neighborhood of twenty bucks or so.

   Thanks, guys

   I phoned the place back and ended up speaking with the same person who gave me the $3 to $3.50 price yesterday.

   I presented her with the information you guys gave me, and got through her to talk to somebody who knew what he was talking about.

   He quoted me $12.75 for a 40 tooth blade, $16.50 for an 80 tooth blade. He said she must have confused the cost for replacing a tooth with the cost of sharpening.

   If anybody is interested the place is

   BC Saw and Tool Inc.

   416 251 2236

   I'm gonna give them a try next week.

   I've been running millwork shops in the TO area for years now, so I know all the players:

   Call Steve at Arbor Tools (416) 736-8736 in North York (Keele & Finch) He does the best job I've seen. Only place I will send my Forrest blades (other than to kitchener or something...) He also carries great blades (Royce-Air). I've toured his shop- doesn't look like much, but he has top-notch CNC grinding machines.

   BC Saw (416) 251-2236 in Etobicoke, grinds too much off each tooth. Have been doing it for 10 years.

   Dominion Saw (905) 270-2200 in Mississauga, is respectable.

   Sharpco (905) 761-6888 in Concord also is reasonable. Carries Dimar blades, which are a good value.

   Angelo's Electric (416) 743-5434 in North York also used to do a lot of my blades. Also Carry Dimars.

   Should be paying more than $10/blade for a 10"/60T unless you need new tips or straightening. All the above will do router bits as well, but most have to send spiral bits out (Arbor does them in-house for other companies)The older I get, the better I was....

   Try 7HiilsSharpening.com. I've had good luck with them and they are very resonable.
