About

History of Ace Saw Services

Ace Saw Services was founded in 1985 by Terry McEvoy. We starter from small beginnings in a garage in Drimnagh moving on to a modern industrial unit in Churchtown, Dublin 14.

My working life began as a wood machinist, serving two years. I trained at Bolton Street College of Technology, moving on to Machine Tool Sales in the Woodworking Industry, and then further studies in Mechanical Engineering.

With engineering and woodworking in the blood, we set up Ace Saw Services. initially to service woodworking machinery.

Our motto is “Service with a smile“. The service we deliver is second to none, thanks to continued investment in modern computerised machinery.

We treat every customer with the same respect, and at our core is old fashioned, customer focused values.  Each customer comes to us looking for a solution to a problem.

Our job is to advise and supply the correct service or product.

Festool Power Tools

We offer a grinding service for all woodworking tools and pride ourselves on our accuracy and precision.

Soon after we realised the need for a precision grinding service we invested in the first CNC Saw sharpening in Ireland that ground Saw Blades with precision on the tooth face and top without removing the sawblade from the grinding spindle.

This was a sea change in precision grinding and extended the life of the sawblade between sharpening,

This opened the doors for us to bigger manufacturing companies such as Masonite, Finsa and Medite.

Our in house showrooms display a wide range of power tools from cutter blocks, profile heads, router cutters, saw blades and a range of FESTOOL power tools who we are official dealers for.

Whether it is for advice for the best saw blade or bandsaw blade for your project, we are at your disposal – just give us a call.

Our core business is saw sharpening but we also service and make serrated profile cutters.

Dado and Architrave wood mouldings can be hit and miss with other suppliers.

We make all our profile templates on a CNC router – each profile is precisely milled and the Cutter profile is exact every time.

All saw blades are ground on modern CNC Vollmer computerised and robot fed precision grinders.

An overnight operation can handle over 200 sawblades with no supervision and lights out.

Friendly advice is always on hand and with almost 40 years experience we know a thing or two about difficult to machine materials, chipping, burning or tight circles on a bandsaw.

At all times we will be there to help.

Aluminium profiles can be difficult to cut, especially when the cut leaves a burr which has to be removed manually.  We have come across this problem occasionally – in one instance it was simply coolant and correct clamping as a fix.

In a second instances the customer could not use coolant as it stained the material. ln this case we had to be mindful of the feed speed due to lack of cooling and heat occurrence at the saw tip and the number of teeth in the material at one time.

This was a difficult one to solve, but solve it we did decreasing the down time and increasing the life between sharpening.

We supply only top quality tools and an excellent service to all our customers. Our plans over the next year is to extend our showrooms and offer our customers the very best tools such as.
