HOW LONG DOES SHARPENING TAKE?
WHAT TYPES OF BLADES DO YOU SHARPEN?
We sharpen bandsaws, circular saws, planer blades, chipper knives, granulator blades, routers, compression cutters and specialised industrial cutters used in timber, construction, and manufacturing industries.
HOW OFTEN SHOULD I SHARPEN MY BLADES?
Sharpening needs vary widely based on the material and volume being cut. As a starting point, many operators sharpen every 30–40 hours of use, or sooner if accuracy drops, surfaces roughen, or burning occurs.
IS THERE A MINIMUM ORDER SIZE?
WHY CHOOSE PROFESSIONAL SHARPENING OVER DIY?
DIY sharpening can lead to uneven edges, shortened blade life, and safety risks.
Professional sharpening with Checkmate ensures consistent geometry, optimal cutting precision, and longer tool lifespan – saving time, money, and materials in the long run.
