Got an email today from a guy that sharpens fein tool blades. Going to send out a few and give it a try, copies the email below in case you guys are interested.





Thanks for your interest in our Multimaster blade sharpening service. I have attached a one page brochure with details about blade pricing specific to the Fein Multimaster. Other brand blades will be priced according to the similar sized Fein blades.

Recently, we have been able to significantly improve our sharpening process, resulting in a blade that runs as good, and in most cases better, than a stock blade. I am confident that you will be more than satisfied with the cost and performance of our sharpened blades. We are one of only the companies that sharpen Multi-tool blades and the only one operating throughout the country.



Thanks again,

Rich Jessop

Reasons you should get your blades sharpened:

1. Cost!

(Sharpened blade= $6-8)
(New blade= $11-20)
2. Quality!
(Sharpened FEIN Blade= slightly more aggressive tooth, new set in the teeth, re-hardened and tempered for long lasting, faster cutting)
(New FEIN Blade= less aggressive tooth, slower cutting, comparable life span to a sharpened blade)
(New Aftermarket Blade= Considerably lower quality steel and tooth pattern, slower cutting and shorter life)
(Sharpened Aftermarket Blade= Better tooth pattern and harder teeth than stock aftermarket blade)
3. Free Return Shipping!
4. Satisfaction Guarantee!
5. Less than 7 business day turn around!

Post your reviews when you get them back.

I'd be interested if it works out for you guys.

Thanks for being the Guinea pigs!!!!
No problem. Glad to help. If it doesnt work Im not paying..
 
Yep, got the same phone call today. What was funny is I was using the Fein almost 2 minutes before I got the call. Told the guy I don't use it that much. But I wasn't lying either, I got the tool for Christmas and that was the first legitimate use of it.

i actually shut mine off to answer the phone!
 
I got one from Gallaway Safety Equip today. Said I had bought a lot of respirator equipment and cartridges. He wanted to sell me more stuff of course and would guarantee me competitive pricing

I've ordered from them twice. 1st time was a respirator and 5 cartridges and the second time was 6 cartridges. He called me a good customer.

Hell, two orders for under $100 is a good customer..:laughing:
 
This happens to be the best wood cutting blade I've ever used and I put it together myself, cut a section of a fine tooth hand saw and rivet it on to a section of old blade, left 8mm of the old blade to rivet onto that rather than onto the actual arbor so it sits flush with the arbor which holds it nice and solid. Major drawback was making the holes for the rivets, tried drilling was taking way to long, ended up clamping the parts together, blow torching until red hot and using a punch.

That guy is local to my dad. My dad has had blades sharpened by him, and is fairly impressed by them.
He cuts his own tooth pattern, so it doesn't matter if all the teeth are completly stripped off the blade apparently. once the new tooth pattern has been cut, he can sharpen it without cutting new teeth, so sending the blades in before the teeth are all gone will allow for more sharpenings. My dad said that the tooth pattern is a little less aggressive than the japanese tooth pattern blades that Fein sells, and that they cut real nice. I don't think he has used them enough to see how long they last.

My dad got one blade sharpened for free since he dropped them off and picked them up, so no shipping.
 
Interesting point....mine are pretty chewed up when I choose not to use them again. Can they be resharpened ? Is Tempest saying the ends are re-cut / re-stamped with new teeth ?

I give the first mentioned guy credit. Let us know how it goes - especially with chewed up or broken Japan blade teeth.

I sent an email to Rich at feinbladesaver.com --- I have a question. The teeth on my MM blades are pretty chewed up by the time I choose not to use them any longer. What do you do about Japan tooth blades that are missing a tooth or two ? Maybe one in three / four of my worn out blades are Japan tooth. Must the blade teeth be in tact for sharpening ?

Here's his response:

I can take blades that have broken teeth or no teeth. I cut a new tooth pattern in all the blades I sharpen, since most blades I receive don't have enough teeth left to do much with them. The new teeth are bigger than the standard wood, but smaller than the Japan cut. In between so they cut a little faster but don't break. I also case harden and temper the steel after they're sharpened. This is actually and improvement on the wood cutting blades since they are a softer steel when you buy them brand new. Blade hardness is similar to the universal stock blades. Send me everything you have and if I can't sharpen it I'll send it back free of charge.

Going to send a few out Monday. I give the guy credit for calling and not bugging me with a sales pitch, basically just said hey if your interested ill email the info over.
 
The ones my dad sent in didn't have any teeth, and it didn't present any issues. What he told my dad was that his equipment was setup for that tooth pattern, so I doubt he could even sharpen a regular blade, he has to cut his own teeth. As a result, there is no point in sending him a blade that still has any original teeth. Once he cuts his tooth pattern in, he can sharpen them, so if you have a blade he already sharpened, sending it in before the teeth break means that you can get more sharpenings out of a blade.
