Any Irish blade sharpeners?

I have a pto powered Junkarri chipper, I'd like to know of anywhere in Ireland where I can get the blades sharpened or if replacement  blades are available off the shelf for a J5 chipper? Thanks.

Keen edge in tullamore. They do pretty much everything blade or knife related. For replacements sawblades.ie are good but do have exact measurements ready when calling. A local engineer in a large sawmill does my chipper blades on their planer jig. If you have a sawmill nearby They might be willing to sharpen them for you for the price of a pint or 3

Thanks Conor, never thought of planer blades needing a sharpening. Really I should get  a second set of blades for it.

Yeah, a second set is handy, means you're not too worried if the courier is a day late bringing them back! What part of the country are you in? If you're near Galway I could ask my man to give them a rub. I've a set to go to him in the next week or two.

Same here , just further west.

saw doctor at sawmill does mine but can only do at certain times so have to give him a couple of sets to make it worthwhile setting up.

well worth having at least one spare set, less temptation to keep going on dull blades
