Does anyone have any ideas of sharpening 16" planer blades at home? I was thinking of some sort of jig with my 8" bench grinder. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas.
Barbender,Do you mean this one?(Image hidden from quote, click to view.)I picked a used one up at an auction a while ago, but haven't used it yet.
Piney, I have a Grizzly 15" planer, and I've found the same thing as you- it's not picky, it also uses magnetic jig to set the blade height. I just try to keep the blades the same depth front to back, which means if one has a deep nick they all have to be ground back a lot. My friend's blades are the worst, he lets them get really dull and tends to only use the center of the blades, so it requires a lot of metal to be ground off to get them sharp again.
