Auger Blade Sharpening Edmonton

[dodgeboy1979]

Hey guys, do you know of an auger blade sharpening service in Edmonton or area? I use an auger for work all the time and am getting quite a collection of blades that need to be sharpened.

Leading edge just outside St albert has done an excellent job on all my auger blades.

Another option to consider is a belt sharpener. I use a work sharp knife and tool belt sharpener to do all the knives, blades, and basically anything else I own that needs to be sharp.

I sharpen my ice blades using it, and works phenomenally well! I don't know if that interests you, but may be an option. It's a bit more than a regular sharpening or buying a new set of blades, but we'll worth the investment of you sharpen a lot of other knives and tools! (Keeps the kitchen knives incredibly sharp!)

I used the work sharp also to sharpen all my blades and including auger blades. Works great and really fast. I now have a few buddies using the same unit for theirs also. Well worth the $150 when blades are $50 to $80 a set.

European Cutters for me as well. Just had 2 sets of 8 inch blades done. $18.00 per set.

Can be done with a file and stone quite easily. Biggest thing is to know which angle not to touch. On Jiffy style chipper blades you take your metal of the bottom, being carefull to retain the factory angle, then lightly remove the burr on the face.

With the Eskimo/ hand auger type blades its the oposite.

Best advice is to never let them get dull. I generally give them a very minor touchup every season or so, and the job is pretty much idiot proof. Once that edge gets badly rounded off, things become more difficult.
