Jiffy STX Blade sharpening S’toon
mjs059:
Looking for advice on a place to get jiffy stx blades sharpened in Saskatoon. I have used one of the recommended places for years. My issue is the two sets of 10” blades I rotate through will not cut well the last 3 times they were sharpened there. I had chalked it up to a bad day sharpening but either they are not being sharpened to the proper angle or are no longer able to be sharpened. I asked the owner if they were still good and he says yes.
I have touched up the point on the flighting but that doesn’t help.
I have another 8” flighting and newer blades that I need to hold back the auger as they pull and cut so aggressively.
How do I know when the blades are completely finished?
Anyone had this problem solved by changing sharpening vendor?

I have been sharpening my own after watching a YouTube video " How to sharpen ice auger blades Jiffy and Mora". I bought a stone and have had good luck doing this. I live in a rural area and do not have easy access to the city, so this works well for me.

Hey there. Not sure who you've used but I found a guy in stoon last year on kijiji. I've used him a couple times and have had good results. He asks you for the brand and tells you before hand if he can do them.

I may go that route if I can get these two sets back to working condition or I get a new set

I have seen his ad.
May give him a try before I buy a new set and start again.
