sharpening planer blades

Here is a recent post that discussed this same question.

-- With God's help all things are possible- even woodworking. Woodworking is not just a hobby, it is an (expletive deleted) expensive hobby.

If this is something you need to do often you might look into buying a “Work Sharp” power sharpener….they are made by Drill Doctor. It makes sharpening chisels, planer blades and almost anything else that needs a super sharp edge easy even for the neophyte. Worth the money. Just don’t cut yourself (-;

The Work Sharp power sharpeners are sold almost everywhere. WoodCrafters has them check on the internet for some good prices. Amazon.com is a good source too.

Work Sharp can handle planer and jointer blades? Largest I heard they can do with the add on is 3”

Thanks again Les.

Tadpole,
Are you wanting sharpen planer blades for power planers or plane irons for hand planes? For a newbie I would send planer blades out to be sharpened. sharpen plane irons as you would a chisel.
