I admire your original approach to one of the oldest chores or most expensive services getting them pro sharpened but rather you than me. It took a long time for me to hunt down a straight knife grinder at a price I could afford but it was worth every cent. Getting knives properly sharp and straight is not easy. Many pros don't deserve what they charge and I got so sick of paying top dollar for knives that did not even come back straight. You can get cheaper knife grinders now but operator skill is vital to getting a decent edge.

@@FromSteelToWood I can tell you why they don't come back straight. If they stack the blades four high and grind them all at once you get accumulative error. The other reason they don't come back straight is because the operator is to lazy to let the grinder spark out at the end of the run. Often the grinder is worn out from lack of proper maintenance too. Sharpening services are very competitive so they cut corner's on staff quality 🙄. Usually the guy who does pick up and delivery does a sideline selling drugs !

Thanks Robert! Those blades are set into the blade holder with a depth tool. The reference being the cutting edge against the depth tool (Delta planer). So one blade could be very different to the other. I now have a new DeWalt planer and the blades are set by the bolts on the center of the blade. Then it would be important to have them identical.

I thought I was going to use this method, which is ingenious. But I cut a 45 degree slot in a perfect 2"x3" square block 26" long that the blade was only exposed about 1/4" and used that on my horizontal 6x80" sander . They all came out perfect. I made a block for my 8" jointer also. I did remove the tiniest of burr on the flat side when finished on the sander. My planer blade was a 45 bevel, and the jointer was 37 degree. The bevel on the blade was vertical and all I needed to do was press lightly and sand up and down each side to get a perfect edge. I did set the table at a steep angle so as not to wear the paper out but sanding just horizontal. So happy and so cheap. They wanted 20$ per each. Razor sharp.

@@FromSteelToWood Yeah... I'm not trying to be rain on the parade. There are things I really like about the idea, like that it gives you a long reference surface that's hard to achieve with a bench grinder tool rest. Maybe make a "blade guard" that minimizes the exposed stone. It could even be out of wood or a shatter resistant plastic... just anything to contain the bits if the wheel flings off a chip. I'm tempted to set up something similar but I think I would run perpendicular to the fence/miter slots. That leaves more jigging to build and set up but I think you'd get more surface area of the grinding wheel in contact with the planer blade and wear the face of the stone evenly. It would still give that long reference surface of the table saw to keep my planer knife straight. Thanks for sharing! As background, the reason I always think about grinding wheels coming apart is because 1) I was trained to always make sure the guards were in place on bench grinders to contain the wheel if it breaks, 2) I was trained to tap the wheel to make sure it rings and discard it if it gives a dull sound since that indicates it's probably cracked, and 3) shortly after I was trained to pay attention to that stuff a guy a couple towns south of mine died when a wheel broke apart, fired one chunk into his chest, and he was alone in the shop. I don't have any way of knowing what the condition of his grinding wheel was or what he was doing when it broke... it may have been neglect and carelessness that most of us wouldn't allow to happen... but it made a lasting impression.

I made a similar blade sharpener only I used a block of HDPE which slides on the table top like butter. I purchased a piece of HDPE 1-1/2 x 1-1/2 x 18 inches long. I ran it thru my 13 inch planer and flattened one side. I then ran it thru my joiner to make the adjacent side perpendicular. Once that was done I did the other 2 surfaces until I had a perfectly symmetrical/ perpendicular piece. In one side I cut a dado on the table saw 60% of the depth of the blade width. The bottom of the dado is flat so that gives me the registration point so the blade will always bottom out on the dado bottom. On the adjacent wall I drilled and tapped (16) #6-32 UNC-2B threads thru to the dado groove. I used #6-32 UNC-2B cup point set screws in the tapped holes. Those set screws will hold the blade flat and secure. Your Idea is awesome, I just kinda took it the next set and make it a little easier to produce. The block of HDPE cost me $22.00. I will make a video and post it on here for people to see.

It is very similar to original blades. But this is based on a cheaper version of a planer and blades anyways (high speed steel, not carbide). Those blades are for other people's use, they have the Delta model. I used to have a Delta planer not long ago before my DeWalt. This is why I can tell they work good. My new planer has 3 blades that needs to be identical, as they have no adjustment. I will find soon a way of sharpening them anyways. I have some ideas in progress for it! Thanks for watching Reg Sparkes!

I just finished a beautiful design for a table saw fence that is the best I have ever used, if I don't say so myself. I used Thompson Linear Rails and Linear bearings. I move the fence in and out of the blade with a acme threaded shaft and coupling. I also added a Digital Readout on the fence so.....If I want a board width to be 1.625 or 1-5/8 inch....I just turn the handle until it says 1.625 and I cut. I have never seen it miss or go out of square with the blade yet. I used a vernier caliper on a piece of oak and I was withing +/- .005 . I will post a video of that also....

It would be nice to have a dedicated table saw to perform this function. You could probably pick up an old Craftsman at a yard sale, flea market, or estate sale for $100-150. I have two I picked up, one for $125, the other for $100. I frequently see them and pass them by. One of the old 8” ones with a cast iron top would be ideal because they’re relatively light weight and could be moved on and off a work bench easily, and stored below. Avoid the mess on and in your primary saw. The angle could be set with a set up block cut with your miter saw, as some of the older saws had poor quality gauges, and left set, only to be confirmed each time used, with the set up block. The wheel can stay on the machine. Thanks for the video, it’s got me thinking and planning. Do I hear your dust collector running ? If so, no fear of sparks ?

Grinding a planer or jointer blade with a tablesaw will be hard on the tablesaw. The steel particles and grindstone dust will get into the tablesaw mechanism and continue grinding away, shortening the life of your tablesaw. New planer blades are definitely expensive, but cheaper than a new tablesaw. Otherwise it would be a great technique.

Im going back to the hand sharpening method this way I do not have to worry about tempering problems. Once the blade has lost its temper you either throw it away or re-harden it and then re-temper it. For $35 a set blades....Too much work.....Old School....By Hand... But it is a great video.....

By far one go the best ways I've seen recently. I love the simplicity of the jig without having to set up complicated settings on a jig and that its made with metal and not wood. Not that they're bad - wood jigs, but wood in my opinion is going to be affected by moisture and season I've always thought! This looks easier than some jigs on the market and way cheaper than buying a branded machine/tool for a dedicated task.... Of course safety is a concern and agree patience and competence is crucial! Did you experience any drawbacks (perhaps slight kickback or grinds affected by the jig maybe not tight enough to fence? A friend watching with me wondered about the saw motor being strained by the grinding wheel and possible damage to the arbor if the when has a wobble. Not to meant as criticism at all, I genuinely think this is a fantastic jig and only ask because building one seems easy and wondered if you had issues to trouble shoot.

Thanks Gareth! The only drawback of this method is the wear on the cast iron table. It must be kept well lubricated and cleaned periodically. I discovered after a while. The grit from the grinding wheel mix with the oil and it can be abrasive for the table. A purist woodworker might consider my table saw totaled as the cast iron is no longer the mirror finish where the jig slide. But for my usage, that is no problem. Then the other consideration is to make very small passes. If the grinding wheel takes too much, it will heat the blade and it will lose its temper. I have a diamond stone to straighten the grinding wheel, so it's always perfectly balanced and it does not wobble at all. The way the blade runs against the grinding wheel, the jib does not have any tendency to deviate from the fence, so I did not experience any kickback whatsoever. I don't do much woodworking on my channel at this moment. I did a lot of furniture in the past before I have my YT channel. Thanks for your subscription and your nice comment!

Some sawdust might have been sitting there for years in the corners. Over time, it packs. Moreover, it's easier to visually control that no more dust is coming from those crevices, gaps, blind holes, etc. Thanks!

Lol! BTW I live in Canada.

This would be a good thing to do with someone else's table saw.

Or maybe a dedicated table for that purpose! It's definitely not for a daily sharpening purpose I must admit!

Like the the idea and have some suggestion: Keep the table dry as the oil traps all the stuff coming off the grinding wheel. Put thin polymer strips on the underside of your angle iron (no PTFE as it will embed the dirt) Build a minimum clearance plate so the dirt doesn't get down into the saw spindle, may combine that with a shop vac nozzle Finally you may have the wrong grinder disk, wear that strong is a sign that it is either not spinning fast enough, or more likely too soft ( used for much harder steels) I would try this one www.nortonabrasives.com/en-us/product/prosand-3sg-ca-type-01-bench-and-pedestal-wheel.

Jest to sposób ostrzenia bardzo nieprawidłowy !!! i niebezpieczny. Nie polecam , a wręcz odradzam.

I have done a quick browse through some of the comments here and I can honestly say that either you have an astounding amount of sycophants following you or you are deleting the vast majority of posts from experienced wood workers telling just how insane this thing is. Considering how few comments there are for how long this has been online I would say that you are deleting hundreds if not more.

Haven't deleted any up to now. That is your opinion. How do you sharpen your blades?

Sorry but nope. You are wearing your table down on your saw, the edge is far from what I would call “sharp”, and your grind is parallel to the length of the blade. 😔

That is a honest comment John! You are right, repeated use would wear down my table. And this is not as perfect as the original sharpening. I can only say it works just fine for my use. Thanks!

That is in several ways a VERY bad idea!!!! 1. The circular saw is not protected against grinding dust, that can ruin spindle and bearings. 2. When you use the edge of the stone along its rotation you right away make a small grove that ruins you angle setup. 2. The blade gets hot on the edge, when you machine it without water, which makes it curve slightly, giving you a slightly curved result

You are right on all points. But I don't do that every day either. In my case, that was it or nothing...

110 hours to setup a stupid thing,,,,,,,

Please don't follow this method of sharpening , is too unsafe and high speed damage the blades !!!! Tormek is the best equipement for sharpening.

No safety glasses when when blowing the saw off that's a no no.

Oops! You are right! I wear safety gear while I work. Can't figure why I did not have it at that moment. Sorry.

Надо тарельчатым алмазным кругом затачивать, а подводить лезвие к тарелке (заточному кругу) можно рычагом подъема пилы, а не продвижкой зажимки лезвия к кругу...Если непонятно, напишите, постараюсь объяснить подробнее....ри такой заточке как у вас будет необходимость в частой правке камня...

Nice job!.Thank you.
