So I found a sharpener for oscillating blades and more the Tigers Teeth Oscillating Tool Blade Sharpener. Now I already have a Sharp Pog, but I'm going to upgrade to this. Because it does better teeth and it sharpens a lot more. Hole saws, circular saws, reciprocating saws, and drill bit tips.



Now they are a bit pricey, but they will end up paying for themselves by sharpening blades you would otherwise throw out.
They run off a battery that you have for a cordless tool. Make sure you order the right charger for your batteries. They offer most of the popular chargers.
The "wheels" for sharpening the other blades are sold separate, so figure out what you need and order those, or wait and add them later.

They also have CBN or Diamond sharpeners as well as wheels, make sure you have the right sharpener for you blades. Basically the CBN is for regular blades and the diamond is for carbide blades. Now you can get the CBN sharpener and then add diamond wheels to sharpen things with carbide blades, in fact that is what I'm planning to do since to sharpen other blades besides oscillating tool blades you use the wheels.

You can find them here https://tigersteethblades.com/
don't forget the right charger and wheels if you need them

We can recommend the LogOx, especially for those working with wood as getting older.  Great product; works as promised. Here's recent YouTube video on it.

The Youtube Channel Surviving Ringworm talks about his since he got it and loves it. I'm going to have to cut down hundreds of dead trees because we had a fire. I think I'm going to get one of these.

I bought 2 of these... Used paypal, and had them shipped to the US... Grand total $35. A steal! I had to make handles for them, but a few minutes of work and I have tools that are AMAZING! I went to try them out, and the next thing I knew, an hour had gone by and my 4 strawberry beds were weeded and tidied up, ready for spring.

Got these a couple years ago as well and love them. We put a long handle on the larger blade and an ax length handle on the smaller one.

I also love yelling "get my Fokin Ho" across our yard
 
I agree. Here's the link: https://richsoil.com/wood-heat.jsp
