I almost did not purchase this tool because of all the negative reviews. From reading these, it seems that you have to be a master machinist to even have a chance to make it work. Two things changed my mind.First, I recently had some engineered wood flooring installed by a pro at my house. Since I have my woodworking shop in the garage, the installer asked if he could use my saws. Well, he was a pro, what was the risk. I should have know better. By the time I got back to my shop, two of my good blades were shot (a 12-inch 96-teeth and a 10-inch 50-teeth). And I mean shot. They would not even cut pine without smoking. I tried to hone them, but they were too far gone.I was even less happy when I was told my my local sharpening shop that it would cost almost $60 to sharpen these two blades ($20 for the 10-inch and $34 for the 12-inch, plus tax). That renewed my interest in some sharpening tool.The second thing that changed my mind was a video on U-tube (by "ghostses"). He completely demystified the process of setting up the sharpener. Thanks to him for this great video.So I took my chance (not much risk for $32 after using a 20% supercoupon), and I am delighted. It took me half an hour to go through the basic adjustments and set-up the sharpener as shown on the video, and less than that to sharpen the first blade. My first try on the 10-inch blade got the blade sharper but far from perfect. After looking closely at the blade, I saw that the teeth faces were clean but the edges still ragged. So back it went on the machine. This time I changed my method and used the click-stop to pre-position the blade, then simply rotated the teeth into the diamond wheel for 2-3 seconds (instead of using the click-stop and bringing the diamond wheel into the tooth). The blade came out as sharp as new. I later honed the teeth with a small diamond file to eliminate some of the roughness created by the coarse diamond blade, but that did not really improve the cut quality, so I would not worry about it (and the diamond blade will get finer as it wears). I then went on to my expensive 96-teeth blade, and it came out perfect, with no scoring at all on the cuts. Very impressive.So do not get frightened by all these reviews. If you are even looking at purchasing this tool, you know enough to make it work. Overall, it is a lot simpler to initially set-up than most power woodworking tools, and the setup required to adjust the grinding angles for each blade are simple to do and would be required even with the most expensive professional sharpeners. Just the nature of the beast. For less than $40, it is a hell of a bargain.

First off, I have bought many tools from Harbor freight and have been satisfied many times with the quality and the price. When the blade sharpener was first available, I was unable to tell from the description if it did carbide as well as ordinary blades. Only after looking at the box at a local HF store did I determine it was also capable of sharpening carbide. That is what sold me on it since the majority of my blades are carbide. I waited for a sale price and could not wait to get my sharpener home to try out.Yes, the machine is a bear to set up for a particular blade, but once you get everything in order, the sharpening part goes fairly quickly. I picked out a pretty dull 80T 10" blade and, using the carbide wheel, put a nice new surface on each tooth. I inspected the machine closely to make sure all of my angles were correct. I even wire wheeled the blade beforehand to remove the built-up sawdust resin that accumulates on a used blade. When I tried the blade out in my radial arm was, I couldn't believe my eyes. The blade smoked worse than before! How could sharpening have actually made the blade less sharp? Close inspection with a 10x magnifier revealed the reason. Instead of each tooth surface being smoothly polished as it was when new, the newly sharpened surface looked like it had been sharpened with 80 grit sandpaper. I realize it was finer than that, but keep in mind I was looking at it under magnification. Bottom line is that the sharpener did not work on carbide blades as I had expected and I packed it up and returned it a few days later. Now, I think HF could make this into a much better machine by doing two things. One would be to make the set-up a simpler process and make it so that you can dial in specific angles instead of trying to eyeball it and then tighten up some screw. Second, and more importantly, would be to have a diamond wheel with a much finer grit to actually polish the carbide instead of coarsely grind it. two different grit diamond wheels would also be nice in case you needed the more coarse wheel on really bad blades. Sort of like sharpening a knife. You can't do a good job using just one stone.I had to give this sharpener only one star because I found it totally useless. However, with a few improvements, I would gladly pay a bit more and give it another chance.

great blade sharpener

About Me Avid Do-It-Yourselfer
Comments about Chicago Electric Power Tools Professional Series 120 Volt Circular Saw Blade Sharpener:
So far I have only sharpened five blades, 1-12", 2-10" and 2-8". I purposely sharpened the different types of blades to see how easy the setup was. 3 were just a straight 90 degree cut. The setup was easy as long as you take your time to ensure to get it right. The other blades have a 5 degree angle you need to setup for. They took a little more time but I found the angle gauge on the sharpener to be accurate. The blades when I tried them made good clean cuts. Before I sharpened them they just wanted to burn the wood instead of cut, I purposely used very old and dull blades I have had for years. Now I don't have to use them as wall ornaments since I seem to never throw anything away.I very happy with this sharpener, I know I could have bought a more expensive one but this one does the job I want. Now I just have to see how long the diamond blade lasts since I have a lot old blades to sharpen.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

it takes a little practice but once you get the hang of it it works great. it sharpens my carbide tip blades like new. some products work better if you use commom sence instead of relying on the manual all the time.

Latest is the greatest
By Mark from Orange
from NY
About Me Professional
Well after reading the reviews, and especially after watching the You Tube videos on how to tweak this tool, I guess HF made some quality control improvements. Mine was ready to rock right out of the box. Everything was tight and aligned pretty well. I had to tweak the angle adjustment about one degree to get the blade at a true 90 degrees to the disk, and put a little dry lube on the way bars that the motor slides fore and aft on, but other than than that it was ready to go.It's true that there are a lot of adjustments to make for each different blade you mount on it, and I don't think this tool is for non-mechanical types, but non-mechanical types wouldn't be prone to sharpen their own blades in the first place.This tool seems to always be on sale, and that's key - it is NOT a $69.99 piece of equipment. $49.99 "on sale"? Yes. $39.99 on sale and a 20% off ticket? Absolutely worth it.I'll likely pick up some spare disks next, just to make sure this thing stays in service a long time.

Already Paid for Itself
By Me Again
from Texarkana, AR
After watching the videos, I followed the advice and found something I decided needed to be changed in the sharpening procedure. I sharpened two blades while using the standard method, and found the blades to be very good for reuse, but I noticed that the carbide grinding was difficult to make uniform. The result did not seem to impair cutting, but I decided to alter the procedure.1) Instead of adjusting the disk to engage the blade at the edge and then "slice" until the grinding wheel stopped at the end of the carbide saw tip, I set the blade stop on the machine to allow the grinding wheel to just barely clear the carbide tip all the way to the shaft stop.2) I then turned the motor on and moved the disk all the way to the shaft stop.3) I then rotated the saw blade into the grinding wheel and repeated the release and engage 3 more times taking no more than three seconds total. The machine is flexible enough to do that, and releasing grip on blade automatically disengages the grinding.The result was superior. Grinding was more even, accurate, with no noticeable heat generated on the tips, and every tip virtually identical with no voids, ticks, or irregularities. Finish on tips looked brand new and was much more consistent and professional.My only minor complaint is that the collar set screw needs to be case hardened knurled head Allen screw and not a standard medium grade hex head. It required very little pressure to twist the head off the machine screw that came with the unit, I drilled out the screw with a diamond bur bit, removed the collar, and purchased a case hardened collar and screw from the hardware store where I work. Problem solved. Sharpener is a great product overall, and has already easily paid for itself.

Be Prepared!
By a1623yankee
from New Hampshire
Before I purchased this machine I read the reviews paying close attention to those who really liked it and judging the validity of those who didn't. If you are not mechanically inclined, proper setup and use of this machine may give you fits or even stymie you all together. It seems daunting up front but is actually straightforward and very simple...step by step. Watch the videos! Based on the recommendations of the serious likers, I went online and typed in "Chicago Electric 96687 Blade Sharpener videos". Up popped the you tube videos selection. Looking down to the you tube descriptions I saw pictures looking back at me. Go there and watch them seriously before you even open your box. Having watched these videos, I determined that the major complaints were based on the fumbling with screws, bolts and hex screws. On the depth stop, I replaced the itty bitty cap screw with a long screw bent at a 45 degree angle and a plastic handle. I can find it in the dark. I replaced the main pawl adjustment cap screw with a an old miter gauge knobbed tightening screw. I filed all the rough edges on the slides and followed the recommendations on the videos to a tee. ALL of my adjustments added to the stability of the adjustments and made them easier to achieve. The only recommendation that I would make regarding use is to set up your pawl but don't just pull the handle into a carbide. Instead, bring the handle into the gullet, apply slight pressure against the carbide and slowly move the handle slightly back and forth to sharpen. Otherwise, the blade will slightly round at the sharpening wheel entry and you'll damage the sharpening wheel. My first sharpening effort on what I thought was a goner came out EXCELLENT! The newly sharpened blade sailed through knots, cut evenly without spalling or even resisting, and left very little swirling. All in all, this is a GREAT product, should last a long time and save you lots of $$$ on blades! I most definitely recommend!

A Valuable Tool
By Seniortinkerer
from Murrieta, CA
I saw a internet review which was well detailed. It included a "tear-down" with a couple of suggestions to improve the blade clamping and stability. I recommend the video as it also was a very good tutorial regarding using the tool. After purchase, I proceeded to sharpen 5 blades, four 10 inch and one 6 inch. The effort paid for the sharpener and more. My initial feeling of a possible 3 star tool went easily to 5 stars. Probably one of the best ROI (return on investment) purchases I have made in a long time. It is easy to use, if you scan advice from other reviewers and the internet video. I set the grinding blade 90 deg. To the base, and set the blade parallel to the base using a wood piece and elevator screw. I was surprised to find that ALL of my blades had the carbide surface perpendicular to the blade, even when teeth were "offset". That made set up easier. There is a bit of an "optical illusion" regarding carbide face orientation. Check your blades. Pawl set up is a bit tricky, but it is not necessary to use the pawl. Other reviewers also mention. This is not a "plug and play" tool. There is attention to detail and set-up. The slides and other parts are not actually moved much, especially if you pass on using the emery wheel, as it is not essential to use for most blades. Therefore, once you "lock down", changes are infrequent. Note even the blade stop can be pre-set mid-point and the blade then maneuvered to proper depth.

If it's set up properly it's great
By WildmanJack
from Punta Gorda, FL
See all my reviews
Just bought one of these and I figured for the price plus an extra 20% off how could I go wrong. Took it out of the box and was pleasantly surprised, as opposed to some other posts I guess I had a responsible employee put this one to gether as there was no slop in the motor, and just a bit in the handle that moves the motor. I set it up as was explained on a you tube video and within 15 minutes I was sharpening blades, now those that had previously only smoked their way thru wood are nearly as sharp as they were when first bought. I haven't used the emery wheel yet, but the diamond blade worked great. Now if it lasts for a while I'll figure it was a good investment.Just TAKE YOUR TIME, and set it up right. Then it's a piece of cake..

Granny Smith apple - peeled, cored and chopped
1/4 cup

This was very good and extremely easy. I found the pumpkin pie spice too intense so the second time I made it I used half and added a little more sweetener and it was perfect.After i microwavedit I poured the warm mixture over crushed grahm crackers and let it "set" for a few minutes and added a little fat free cool whip on top-- like hot pie!!
um, no
15 Ratings
This was really easy to make and it turned out very good; the apples balance the richness of the pumpkin nicely. One thing to watch out for is the pumpkin bubbling over the sides of the dish, so I suggest either using a bigger dish or stirring more frequently after about 2 1/2 minutes. You could probably substitute 4 teaspoons of sugar (brown for extra flavor) for the sweetener if you don't have any on hand. Overall, a great snack recipe. I definitely plan on making it again.
This is so easy and fast to make. Based on the effort it takes to make, the flavor is very good. I'll be making it again, but may add the brown sugar that others suggested as well as some low fat cool whip or vanilla ice cream. Thanks for the recipe Rosanne!
Awesome? No. But still a pretty good way to satisfy your sweet tooth while being healthy and using up that leftover pumpkin from the holidays. I'll probably make it again and might add a tsp of brown sugar.
Great simple and sweet recipe! Easy to make and best to eat when it's warm. Great on top of ice cream too!
Very good! Great way to satisfy that sweet tooth!
I thought this was a good snack and easy to prepare. Good for you too!

Children connected in tragic journey
Families recall joy, feel loss of victims
The murky waters of Robco Lake sit many miles from the renovated Foote Homes housing projects where 10-year-old Karlton Parker and 11-year-old Carnisha Banks were growing up in apartments not 100 yards apart.
They drowned just feet away from one another in a tragic Fourth of July boating accident on Wednesday, behind the home of an uncle who lived at the 310-acre lake in a remote corner of Southwest Memphis. In the communities that considered them family -- from Foote Homes neighbors to the Downtown Elementary School to outreach ministries run by evangelicals and Episcopalians -- the grief deepened Friday.
Their connections extended into the obstacle course of circumstances that many children in Foote Homes must traverse.
Oh, did Carnisha love to dance. They remembered her at Streets Ministries, across Vance from Foote Homes, where she spent much of her after-school hours. She would get them jumping, too, at Emmanuel Episcopal Center, where she attended Camp Hope this summer.
"So full of life, that one," said Downtown principal Marcia Wunderlich on her visit to Foote Homes on Friday to see the families. "You'd see her coming down the hall every morning, always with a smile."
Yet Carnisha had a father, Carlos Banks, who is in jail charged with first degree murder, and a younger brother whose father was murdered five years ago.
Neighbors could remember seeing Karlton practicing football in full gear, and a counselor at the Emanuel, Catron Cohen, called him a natural leader who helped keep peers in line. The bright smile in his school picture suggests youthful hope and happiness, yet Karlton, too, had processed tragedy.
After his mother's brother, Terrence Banks, was gunned down on April 27 in front of Booker T. Washington High School, Karlton had packed his clothes and instructed his mother, Theresa, to take him to see his grandmother, his Bookie.
"Bookie needs me," he told the family. "I'm going to take care of her."
He was the oldest of Tina Parker's six grandchildren, and they had forged a bond she said helped her wade through the grief of losing her son. After Wednesday's accident, which police say was created when four adults and six children overloaded a small johnboat, the 44-year-old grandmother only feels numb.
She also lost her 65-year-old mother late last year.
"It seems like it just is coming to me," she said. "Is the Lord trying to say something? I don't know what it is.
"They say folks have their time, but to me it's way too young to go like that little girl and him. I just can't stop thinking of him, in that water."
Shontrice Harris, Carnisha's mother, said that Carnisha's grandmother, Daphne Allen, forbade her from getting into the boat police say was owned by Kenny Banks. Tina Parker said her daughter, Theresa, gave Karlton the same order.
"But, you know, he's curious," said Tina Parker, who, like Harris, was not present.
Harris visited Emmanuel Episcopal Center on Friday and accepted a stack of homemade cards.
"I will never forget your million-dollar smile," read one, decorated with crayon hearts. "Even though you're not here, you're forever in our hearts. Love, Chelsea."
Even at Vance Grocery, the community's loss was evident, with Karlton's picture taped to a small can asking for donations to cover funeral costs.
"I remember the girl, because she came in here every day," said Mohammed Sabeha, the store manager. "She always joked with me. She was sweet, really sweet."

TCM Bank Kicks Off 10-Year Anniversary at 2008 ICBA Convention and Techworld
Orlando, Fla. (March 4, 2008)—TCM Bank, N.A., the leading provider of professionally managed agent bank card programs for community banks, kicked off its 10-year anniversary celebration at a reception during the Independent Community Bankers of America (ICBA) 2008 National Convention and Techworld March 25 in Orlando, Fla. Founded in 1998, the limited purpose bank was created by ICBA Bancard, the payments services subsidiary of ICBA.
"Ten years ago, many community banks were interested in offering credit card products, but some lacked the resources required to succeed as direct issuers," said Linda Echard, ICBA Bancard president and CEO. "Others were committed to card issuing, but sought community-bank friendly expertise to maximize their business and portfolio development. TCM Bank helped address these concerns, by ensuring that community banks have secure footing in the payments industry."
"With over 550 community bank partners, TCM Bank proudly serves the credit card needs of community bank customers across the nation and has become one of the nation's top 75 credit card issuers," said Paul Weston, TCM Bank president and CEO. "Our success and growth over the last 10 years is a testament not only to a lot of hard work, but also the invaluable efforts of our community bank partners and the value of the community banking model."
TCM Bank's programs position community banks in the credit card business by promoting the bank's identity while limiting or eliminating the bank's exposure to risk and marketing costs. TCM Bank also provides consulting services to ICBA Bancard issuers, advising them how to remain profitable and competitive in the credit card industry. TCM Bank can either purchase a community bank's credit card portfolio or provide the expertise and solutions to rebuild it from the ground-up. Unlike other agent bank credit card programs, TCM Bank puts the interest of community banks and their customers first. TCM Bank does not cross-sell competing banking products to cardholders.
About ICBA Bancard & TCM Bank, N.A.
ICBA Bancard is the wholly owned payment services subsidiary of the Independent Community Bankers of America. ICBA Bancard provides more than 2,000 community banks with equitable access to cutting edge credit, debit and merchant processing products in addition to remote deposit, Internet Banking and ATM solutions.

MILWAUKEE — Elvis' music and his moves have influenced generations. All this week, Elvis will be honored in Potawatomi Bingo Casino's "A Tribute to the King."
"He was the complete package. He could sing, dance, got the girl at the end of the movie you know," Elvis Tribute Artist Robert Washington said.
"The music — it hits the core of the person and so when we`re singing they`re getting a flavor of what Elvis Presley actually did," Elvis Tribute Artist GaryElvis Britt said.
More than a dozen Elvis tribute artists are competing in the annual contest, but new this year, fans can cheer on past winners in the Battle of the Champions.
There's $50,000 in total prize money on the line.
"This is the first year we've brought back some of our old winners and actually had them competing against each other, so it`s basically the best of the best," Potawatomi Bingo Casino Entertainment Coordinator Rachel Buelow said.
These Elvis tribute artists have definitely done their homework.
"Just watching him do his moves over and over and over again and studying the man and appreciating his talent and being able to do it correctly is to share the memory," Elvis Tribute Artist Matt Joyce said.
However, joining the Elvis industry doesn't come cheap. Tribute artists spend thousands on the outfits, jewelry, hair, sideburns and makeup.
"My dad was a little disturbed by the whole thing. When I came home to visit my folks one time and I said 'mom do you have any good eyeliner or mascara?' Elvis Tribute Artist Jeff Lewis said.
These performers say it's all worth it to continue the legacy of the King.
"A Tribute to the King" runs through Friday at the Northern Lights Theater in Potawatomi Bingo Casino.
