    Yes, contact the team on sales@bladetorq.com and we can arrange a day and time that suits you.

  • Can Circular Saw Blades Be Sharpened?

    Yes, most high-quality blades—especially Tungsten Carbide-Tipped (TCT), High-Speed Steel (HSS), and cold saw blades—are designed to be sharpened multiple times to extend service life and maintain cutting performance.

  • What Types of Blades Are Commonly Sharpened?

    Blade Type

    Sharpenable?

    Notes

    Carbide-tipped (TCT)

    ✅ Yes

    Most common for wood and composites & soft metals

    HSS blades

    ✅ Yes

    Used in metal cutting (cold saws)

    Cermet-tipped

    ✅ Yes

    Sheet metal and pipe cutting

    Diamond blades

    ⚠️ Sometimes

    Can be dressed, not traditionally sharpened

    Cheap steel blades

    ❌ Not recommended

    Often not cost-effective

  • What Equipment do we use for Sharpening?
    • Fully automatic 8 axes CNC machines (Vollmer, Loroch) – precision for face and top grinding
    • High-precision inspection Equipment – Analysing the tooth geometry & condition
    • Vollmer Retipping machines – Repair for broken/damaged teeth
    • Twin rimmed diamond wheels – High precision and durability.
  • What Angles and Geometries Are Important?

    Feature

    Typical Range

    Hook angle

    +5° to +25° (wood), 0° to -5° (metal)

    Top bevel angle

    10°–20° (ATB), 0° (flat-top)

    Clearance angle

    15°–25°

    We Always match the original grind pattern (unless asked to be changed if possible)

  • How Often Should Blades Be Sharpened?

    Depends on:

    • Material being cut
    • Blade quality
    • Feed rate and RPM
    • Daily usage hours

    Common practice: Monitor by linear feet/meters cut, and sharpen before signs of degradation affect cut quality.

  • What Are the Signs a Blade Needs Sharpening?
    • Increased feed pressure
    • Burning or discoloration of material
    • Frayed edges or tear-out
    • Loud or inconsistent noise
    • Reduced cut accuracy
    • Missing/chipped teeth
  • How Many Times Can a Blade Be Sharpened?
    • Carbide blades: 5–15 times depending on tooth size and usage
    • HSS blades: Up to 20+ times if well-maintained
  • What’s the Sharpening Process for TCT Blades?
    1. Clean the blade (remove resin/pitch)
    2. Inspect for tooth damage or warping
    3. Load blade in to machine
    4. Grind:
      • Face first, then
      • Top
    5. Check runout, side clearance, and tip geometry
    6. Rebalance if necessary
    7. Dip blades in protective coating
    8. Repack for return/use
  • How Should Blades Be Shipped and Stored?
    • Use foam-lined containers or dedicated blade boxes
    • Clearly label blade diameter, tooth count, material, and previous sharpening date
    • Store in dry, controlled environments to prevent rust or warping
  • What material are Morso blades made from?

    Morso blades are typically made from high-carbon tool steel, often hardened to HR64, allowing for precise cuts and extended wear resistance. Proper heat control during sharpening is essential to avoid temper loss.

  • What is the correct sharpening angle?
    • 29° is the correct angle specified from Danlist .
    • The angle must be maintained precisely for proper shearing action and edge durability.
    • Hollow grinding is essential to ensure your Morso blades operate at their optimal performance level.
  • What grinding equipment do we use?

    We use a precision sharpening machine from Danlist that ensures all angles and the hollow grind are accurately maintained, guaranteeing optimal blade performance.

  • How do we check blade sharpness post-grinding?
    • Paper Test: Blades that are properly honed will have a clean, straight slice
    • Visual inspection: edge must be burr-free with no rounded areas.
  • What are the most common sharpening errors?
    • Flat grinding: The hollow grind minimizes the amount of blade in contact with the wood, reducing friction.
    • Overheating: ruins temper; leads to premature dulling.
    • Incorrect angle: results in poor cutting action or chipping.
    • Uneven grinding: causes misaligned cuts and blade chatter.
    • Failure to remove burrs: leaves microscopic imperfections that can chip under load.
  • How should morso blades be handled and stored professionally?
    • Store in oiled, rust-proof sleeves or blade boxes.
    • Never store loose or stacked to avoid nicks.
    • Label each set with the sharpening count and service date.
    • Avoid any contact with ferrous dust or corrosive materials.
