INTRODUCTION For a while I had been wanting to sharpen my table saw blades, chop saw blades, heck! ... any circular saw blade. I've got a couple of 10" Forrest blades, several 10" Diablo combination blades, a Ridgid 10", a DeWalt 10".... it goes on and on. Sharpening cost too much when I have so many that need resharpening. On the other hand if I resharpen it could prove painful. There's tooth anatomy and various angles to be concerned about. DETAILS Anyways....I build this sled jig to allow sharpening of any 7" or 10" blade. I can adjust it to do any rake angle and/or face angle required. I bought a 5/8" arbor 400 grit 6" diamond blade off of Amazon for $19. Here you see the diamond blade mounted on my table saw and one of my Diablo 10" combination blades mounted on my new sled jig. I placed a stop block on the left. It has a quick release magnet. This stops forward travel so when I move the sled forward to do a tooth the sled will stop precisely on center to the diamond blade and ready to touch grind. There's also a clamp on the back left that stops backwards travel and clearing the blade allowing rotation and moving to the next tooth. CONCLUSION Oh man!! Oh man!... it was exciting!!! After finding out the rake angle, etc and setting up the jig, I sharpened two Diablo 10" 50 tooth combination blades in less than 10 minutes. And they were perfect and wicked sharp!! It cut through a 2x6 like butter!!!!! Both with and against the grain. It was the same on pine, maple, oak, plywood. In fact there was no resistance. It was like cutting soft butter no matter what I cut. Absolutely unreal!! And man 'o man what a savings!!!! Thanks for looking! " If you like it give it a " Cheers! MrRick
