| | What to use to sharpen planer knives? Name: Steven City: Arthur State: WV County: Grant Join Date: Aug 2008 Age: 43  10-26-2009, 08:12 AM
Hi Y'all, I would be interested in how you all sharpen your planer and joiner knives? What tools and or jigs do you use? I can not find anyone locally to do a good job of sharpening these and would like to be able to do it myself. Thanks. Steve | | Views: 494 | |

I sharpen them on the wife's electric knife sharpener in the can opener. I joint and plan a lot of lumber, if I had to send out for sharping I would go broke... Wear a pair of butcher gloves cause those blades will cut you up man... |

It would Andy. I have several Delta 12.5" ones that I haven't tossed. I'll be at Klingspor Friday, will you? | |

No, but ScottM will be this weekend and is already bring me something, so a few blades would probably mot be too much more. I will have to make him (and you) a knife if I figure out what I am doing... | |

In the spring I used my WorkSharp with a little jig I threw together -- it was ugly but did a great job on the edge. If the knife had damage, this would not likely be the way to go - as it doesn't remove metal quickly. But for a little touch-up it worked well. I've been meaning to put together some pics...but the thing is such a hack I'm embarrassed to show it  . I should construct a more photogenic model this winter .gif "Drogar BigGrin(DBG)")
