Please visit the new Sharpnet Web site at http://members.aol.com/sharpnet/sharphm.htm
Provide me with any links or e-mail addresses that you may find pertinent to sharpening that you would like to see here. Other suggestions are, of course, welcome also.
Most sharpeners begin with Foley-Belsaw equipment. I hope to have an e-mail address for them someday. Their phone number is 1-800-821-3452.
For a look at the Darex Website and their line of sharpening equipment click here. There is also useful information and some other links.
Cuttermaster also has a webpage. They offer a tabletop tool and cutter grinder and other supplies.
The Pacific/Hoe Saw and Knife Co. offers numerous products along with a "Saw Filer" newsletter.

The Thomas Register is a great (and free) way to locate American manufacturers and suppliers on the Internet.
Many sharpeners subscribe to the Sharpener's Report published by Patti Anderson and the SKOG Company. I have confidence that someday Patti will also be accessible on the Internet. She can be reached at 612-535-2923. Her mailing address is P.O. Box 22559 Minneapolis, Minn. 55422

The World Wide Woodworking Web is an interesting site for those into woodworking and even have an article for those woodworkers who would sharpen saws themselves. Another related site is WoodWeb
