The postal system is universal (!) so...  Top Cut Saws Ltd of Windsor, Berks.  I've been sending my Jo Beau blades there for years and they've done a very good job every time.

Where are you? We are in Devizes, Wiltshire.

Dartmoor.
But yes the postal system works wherever but nice to stay local where possible

Does Dougie Bennett at Tavy still do stuff?

I miss the wee chipper life!

  At times it was a bit small for the jobs but everything else was simpler.

  Paid £2.5k for Gloria, made that back in 3 days on jobs, kept her for 10 years and got £1500 trade in for her.

It would put you in a rough ball park... Most users get around 20 hours on a flat blade before sharpening. As mentioned there is some very simple hour recording devices available..

I was thinking about this blade sharpening every 20 hours or so..... Isn't it possible you could clock that up in a busy week? Or am I missing something about 'hours'?

And therefore 300 hours could make a machine, even at 10 hours a week, just 6 months old? 

Thanks
