    It's intellectually useful in that it is interesting, but yes, the tools that they're using to sharpen blades will generally not be available to most people.

    Here's a video you might like, of a bandsaw clinic from Carter Tools: bandsaw clinic video from Carter Tools

    Per email response; not sure if you can't see the video at all, or if it's just not useful. Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing. Then I just click anywhere on the video and it starts playing:

    It's interesting because they've evolved with [and probably helped develop] better equipment and processes, but many larger cabinet shops have smaller scale cutter grinding, and generally the physics of blades haven't changed too much. Foley Belsaw is a good example, people all over the place use their equipment.
