Circular saw blade sharpening

Most every major metro area has a saw blade sharpening service.
The last time I used the local one here, it was only $25 for a Freud Industrial 10" 80 tooth ATB crosscut. The work was excellent, and they even replaced a missing carbide tip on one tooth.
It worked well because they were set up to do the job right. Most decent woodsaw blades use a special carbide for the chippers, and these have to be precision ground very carefully. The "ATB" designation (alternating tooth bevel) puts in an additional complexity to the work, as does the specified rake angle.
Bottom line: It's not worth horsing around trying to do this kind of job yourself.

Good blades can cost over $100...but for a circular saw blade, I just replace when worn.I made it until the weird robot voice talked about sharpening discs from a circular saw, 6 seconds.
What's a blade cost, $10?
I know what a good TS blade costs, but are you going to hand sharpen one?Good blades can cost over $100...but for a circular saw blade, I just replace when worn.

Me? No. People do though. Some people have more time than money.I know what a good TS blade costs, but are you going to hand sharpen one?
This setup always hit me as a pretty easy way to hand sharpen. Haven't tried it myself.
