Which circular saw blades we sharpen
As a manufacturer, we know the geometry, material and application – on blades from other manufacturers, too.
- TCT circular saw blades Carbide-tipped – for aluminium, copper, brass, plastics and wood
- HSS metal circular saw blades HSS-DMo5 and HSS-E (Co5) for tubes, profiles and solid material
- HSS segmental circular saw blades Damaged segments replaced, blade body kept in use
- Solid carbide circular saw blades Solid carbide – precisely resharpened for low-burr cuts
If teeth are broken or heavily worn, we recondition your blades – carbide-tipped blades by re-tipping, HSS blades by re-toothing. All about circular saw blade sharpening ›

Manufacturer and family business
Our roots go back to 1974. In 1996 we moved to Recklinghausen as we grew, and today we are a third-generation family business. Here we develop, manufacture and sharpen precision circular saw blades – on a site of more than 3,500 m², with modern machinery and a qualified team. When sharpening is no longer worthwhile, we make your replacement blade – to your tool data or optimised for your application: TCT, HSS, HSS segmental and solid carbide.

Frequently asked questions
Which saw blades do you sharpen?
Carbide circular saw blades (TCT, solid carbide) and HSS blades, including segmental circular saw blades – up to Ø 1,600 mm depending on type, also from other manufacturers.
How long does sharpening take?
Usually about one week from receipt. In a hurry? Get in touch. By arrangement, we also collect outside our usual collection and deliver urgent blades back in advance.
Can I drop off my blades in person?
Yes, of course. You are always welcome to drop them off with us: Mon–Fri 07:00–15:45 or by arrangement at appel werkzeuge, Christine-Englerth-Straße 42, 45665 Recklinghausen, Germany.
How much does sharpening cost?
That depends on the blade type, diameter, number of teeth and condition. Give us a call or send us the details with a photo – you will receive a quotation before we start work.
How many times can a circular saw blade be resharpened?
That depends on the blade. As a rule, we grind both the tooth face and the tooth top (periphery). This way we remove only as much material as necessary – which protects your blade.
Do you also sharpen for private customers?
Yes, private customers are very welcome too.
Is your blade blunt or damaged? Call us or write to us – a photo helps. We will get back to you as quickly as possible.
