Sharpen bandsaw mill blades in Iowa

[JHEPP08]

Looking for a place in Iowa that would sharpen up lt15 sawmill blades in Iowa.
I'm in north central Iowa but would like some where closer. I have a place. 4.5 hrs away but would like a lil closer .

Thanks

Just curious, have you considered WM Resharp?  $7.00 per blade and shipping for 10 blades brings the total cost to a bit over $100.

Sounds like its time to sharpen your own blades.

As stated above, Woodmizer Re-sharp works great for me!

[JHEPP08]

No but I will look into woodmizer I wasn't aware of the cost.

Thanks!
I'd like to do my own but it seems like it'll cost a chunk of change to get a good sharpener an since I'm new I'm goin to wait.
What do you guys use for sharpeners?

Shop around, the big ones are good, they just might need some tweeking as I have been informed.
It's not rocket science for sure, just a knowledge of grinding, which can be obtained with experience.
It is worth the cost, time and shipping for sure if you are sawing very much, or the margin for cost is in effect.

   I just bought a sharpener and setter from Wood Mizer.  I live in northeast Iowa.  I might be willing to sharpen for others.

I feel that the act of sharpening bands is dang near rocket science.

JHEPP, bands are not that expensive if you keep your logs clean you can cut a lot of wood with one. Cut till dull and put on a new one save the dullies then when you have a lot its worth taking them somewhere or if your "into it" buy sharpening equipment. WM resharp is also a good option. Frank C.

Keeping my debarker teeth sharp with a diamond stone, trimming the front end off of logs when dirty, and rotating really dirty logs the other way so as to be cutting into the sawn face,  helps reduce my sharpening load.
