Since 1977 Thorvie International LLC has built a solid reputation as an industry leader in engineering and manufacturing innovative and cost effective products for the tool sharpening industry, offering some of the finest saw sharpening equipment and grinding machines which enable a sharpener to greatly reduce the time needed to setup and sharpen a woodworking cutting tool. By 1980 it unveiled to the market newly engineered carbide and steel saw sharpening machine. This machine could now precision sharpen cutting tools more easily and efficiently than was previously possible with conventional sharpening equipment and machines. It provided the capability to sharpen router bits, spiral planers, adjustable dados, jointer and planer knives, wood chisels, hole saws, shaper cutters, and numerous other tools, simply through the use of easily attachable fixtures. It became possible to establish a woodworking cutting tool sharpening service center at one fourth the previous cost necessary to purchase conventional equipment.
