Brokenarrow,

The man who sharpened your blades used too much pressure and cut far too fast. The blade should not turn blue. Power tools are nice and convenient, but they should be used in such a way as to allow the machine to do the work in about the same amount of time it would take to do the job with a hand file.

It's right of you to be angry about this. There are many courses of action you could take, but since we're talking about a relatively small amount of money, here's my recommendation........

Eat the damaged chainsaw blades and chalk it up as a learning experience. Afterward, start telling everyone you know about the poor service you got from the guy, and make sure they know which business you are referring to.

A large amount of negative feedback is the best way to get even with the guy.

I sharpen my own blades, only because the nearest sharpening business is over 125 miles from me. I use a file and file guide. If the blade is too far gone, I simply purchase a new one.

"If you want it done right, you'll have to do it yourself"....is usually correct. Good help is hard to find these days.

Joel
