Circular Saw replacement or Sharpening

[baz]

I have a Japa 700 with a 12 inch circular rip saw fitted as OE fitment. Time for a sharpen so want to look into options.

 

Firstly I've had to order a 41mm socket in order to get the retaining bolts off. Once I have it off there is a company 20 miles away that say if I deliver them the blade it'll cost £25 to sharpen. So that'll take 80 miles of driving and 3 hours of my time. I've been looking online for a replacement (come spare blade) cost and there seems to be suitable new blades from £80. Can anyone recommend a saw blade supplier in the UK? If I can get one for under the £80 I probably wouldn't bother getting the old one sharpened.

Why dont you post it to them to be sharpened?

If the blade is not a TCF one, they are easy to sharpen yourself with a file, and will only take about half an hour.

 

Sent from my Galaxy arse using tupping talk.

Check ALL the simple things first.

We have a Jappa and send the blade to a company in Newcastle, that returns by post and the whole thing costs £30 (inc vat), much cheaper than a new blade, or driving each way twice.

the company is 'Precision saw and tool ltd' and number is 0191 4990033

I used a company called Dolphin Tooling based near Darlington, about two years ago. They collected the blade, sharpened it and dropped it off for £12!

Anton saws are local to us pick up and drop off. Last time I asked 5p a tooth. They can replace missing teeth aswell. I would buy a spare and send yours off you have one in hand then. If your geared up for a days work and hit a few nails you can just change the blade and carry on.

Sounds like a bargain! thought I'd done ok at £30

My blade nuts undo with a decent adjustable spanner with a bar on the end, dont forget they are Left Hand Thread !!.

 

There is a place in Birmingham called Gerrymet that will make you a new TCT blade, he did me one, not as cheap as others but a good bloke to deal with, he will also sharpen. Your blade is 700mm diameter.
