I picked up a used lion miter trimmer today. The blade has a few nicks in it I need to sharpen out. The nicks maybe a bit to big for simply honing with stones. Does anyone have any experiance with sharpening them?

It may be worth your while to have a sharpening service do it. I have a Oliver 01 miter trimmer. after scratching my head for hours just trying to get the back nuts off , and trying to set up the grinder to the correct angle, I just called the guy who does the saw blades and router bits. $12.00 was the final cost. part of the reasoning was that I cant replace the blades on an Oliver , so if I made a mess of it the whole unit was kaput.

Thats what one of my EMGW friends said to do as well. I would have dropped it off today, but the sharpening service is too close to the marathon route.
