Title: Wood mizer Indianapolis resharp
Post by: CCCLLC on August 27, 2021, 04:00:05 PM
Ask for shipping labels 2 weeks ago, no show. Albemarle  is slammed and do a great job but slammed. Option for ship to Indiana? Thanks

I am having a reasonable turnaround with Georgia ReSharp; about three week from shipping to receiving.  I normally keep one or two boxes of 10 somewhere in the resharpening process. 

There must be a blade shortage because the last two 'rejects' were not replaced.

A friend of mine gets 120 blades a month sharpened at Albemarle and the last batch had about half that were still dull. Tips rounded and shiny. He's looking for other options too.

Hello , 
  We sharpen blades at our location at Pennsylvania Wood Mizer. We went from 7 to 8 weeks and now around 4 to 5 weeks. Son Nathan and Rich have been working overtime. They went from 700 blades a week to over 1000 blades a week. One customer delivered 720 blades which we delivered a few weeks ago!
You can give us a call.
Thanks 
Marty

Woodmizer INdy was nearing catching up in resharp.  The time was less last time I dropped off.  Call them and find out what happened with shipping labels.

Last two boxes of blades to Georigia ReSharp had total of 4 blade rejects and no new blades.  I called about it and was told they had no new blades.  I told them they owe me 4 replacement blades at the ReSharp price.  Maybe if I get enough credit for a new box of blades.......Indy will send me a whole new box!  One can wish.  At this rate............5-6 more resharps and I will need to buy a new box.  I only have 3 boxes of blades.
hugs, Brandi

I use turbo 7's all summer in the winter frost notch bands. 
This is one reason I don't put my bands in one wagon when buying them.
I learned this in business as a contractor. Keep your options open.

Its kind of a north of I-70 thing, double peaked blade teeth helps to make sawing frozen logs better.  There's  folks that can explain it better.

They cut great in the summer as well.
I ran one today and one yesterday.
I'm trying out some that Cooks makes so I have 2 options for purchase this fall.
I liked them , I will order a box.
