I'm with everyone here. Forrest are tops, but about $110 ea. (US).
To save some $$, bring the Freud blades you have been using to be sharpened and get a new set of Freuds. Don't buy the $39 home center Freud blades. The good ones are about $60. I don't know if they still make Avanti Ice, but those were really great for the price.
If you DO spend the Forrest $$, remember, the better the blade the more easily (and more times) it can be sharpened with excellent results.
I always thought that sharpening metal stuff was a popular Canadian hobby, no?
