Great video. No promos, no affiliate links, no faffing around, no unwanted opinions. I waded through a lot of stuff with people honing the blades of their perfect machines with sand paper and diamond stones. For someone like me processing demo timber on dodgy machines, this was perfect inspiration. Thank you.

I have a diamond grinder and yet was going to send my knives out! Thanks!

Just made a jig based upon your method. Works a treat! I added some extra adjustment, including a fine advance of the fence using an old tail stock thread from a lathe.

There you go. The parallel setup is nice but only necessary if you have other fixtures that would use it. A simple clamp to the same table would work also.

Boy talk about not over thinking adjusting blades. Bravo Zulu to you sir. Brilliant technique love it. Great video.

Yes you can do it like that but hollow ground knives never hold their edge as long. I see you have a CBN wheel there which helps avoid overheating the blade. But when all is said and done, if you want to make sure your knives are perfectly straight and balanced it's best done on a water cooled grinder. I bought my own because I was sick of paying top dollar to sharpening services that did a lousy job.

Great job, 👍👍👍

Martin - Love your channel and your methodical approach to everything you do. I am wondering if you have considered doing voiceover videos in which you explain what you are doing to the aspiring woodworker/woodturner?

Hi, what is that combination machine? what model?

Many years ago back in the 60's my dad worked at Weldwoods of Canada in Woodstock Ontario which was a factory that made plywood and paneling. They actually were one of the companies that made the wood products that went into making the Mosquito bomber in WW2. There was a local fellow named Charlie Moyer that used to do sharpening work for the factory. He had sharpened a five foot blade for a planer and leaned it against a wall. A fellow came along with a cart and bumped it and knocked it over and it clean cut a mans leg right off. My dad said you could hear him screaming over all the noise of the running equipment.

Gracias

Glad it's of some help. I think it's 180g. before I had the diamond wheel I used a 80g white wheel with no problems, just takes a lot longer! 😊

@@MartinWoodhead wow, i think it must be fine grit say 1000-1500 grit for sharpen planer blade, ok then I'll pick the 180 grit as yours. thank you for sharing sir. keep up the great work 👍. best regards from Indonesia 🇮🇩

I like the approach, simple to make and set up the jig. You end up with a slight hollow ground surface which is a subject of argument but I do not think it is a detriment to the blade edge longevity. Even the slow water wheel stones leave a hollow grind and yet there are proponents of those sharpeners that also criticize your method because it leaves a hollow grind...go figure the logic in that? What is good about your method is that the direction of abrasive cut on the blade is correct, perpendicular to the knife edge instead of parallel as happens when knives are sharpened with a hand held jig on sandpaper. I would myself add a hold down tool like a push stick so that you can be sure of even blade contact with the jig platform at all times. Your method relied on very light cuts and that is the way to ensure success without heating.

Thanks for sharing. This video is great. May I know the measurement of those two lines you used to adjust the cutting depth of your blades? Thanks in advance.

It worries me that you are asking Reward. There are two lines so the projection of the knives can be set equally. The distance between the lines has little relevance other than to say the greater the distance the greater the projection of the knives. A good starting point would be to set projection to the existing. I hope this helps. if you are not confident in what you are doing then maybe don't do it! Please be safe! Good luck! 😊

Shouldve paraphrase the question. I was referrimg to the projection. Thanks for the answer. Keep up the good work

Thank you for sharing! I've got some planner blades I've been holding back because I wasn't sure the best way to sharpen. Will this work for double sided blades as well? Take care and GOD BLESS 🙏!

yes it will but those 1mm thick disposable blades will heat up very quickly. try to do very light passes and keep them cool. metabo 260 here.

Different manufactures use different angles based on the machine characteristics and blade thickness. I match the angle to existing knives. 😊 Diferentes fabricantes usam diferentes ângulos com base nas características da máquina e na espessura da lâmina. Eu igualo o ângulo às facas existentes. 😊

Not bad for pine. Now sharpen some serious hardwood.

"a simple jig"

this sleeves are not good for that machine...
