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.
Today Thorvie International successfully stands
as a leader with the experience to meet the demands of
the saw sharpening equipment industry as it moves into
the 21st century. Thorvie International broadened its borders
as it manufactures and exports equipment outside the continental
United States to markets such as the Virgin Islands, Puerto
Rico, England, New Zealand, Canada, Honduras, Australia,
Japan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and South America. With a product
line of over forty unique fixtures and six grinding machines,
it has proven itself to be progressive and innovative in
its approach to serving and fulfilling the needs of its
customers. Thorvie International looks forward to supporting
its customers in their future growth and success.
