    Sharpening jointer knives

    Does anyone have any experience or information about sharpening jointer knives? I replaced the knives on my Powermatic 60B 8" jointer and would like to sharpen the old set to have in reserve.

    Carbide Jointer knives

    I rarely use softer woods with what I do. A lot of hard maple, padauk, purple heart... It seems as though my jointer blades dull quicker than they should... maybe cause of the hardwoods. Would I benefit from using Carbide tipped knives? Anyone have experience with these? I have a 6" jet...

    JET 15sc planer knives

    About 10 Years ago I bought the above planer. Aside from the two sets of blades that came with the machine, I purchased two more sets. Well after many years and many sharpenings, I find that the JACK screw will no longer reach the bottom of the blade. Question?? Are there longer JACK screws or...

    Help Installing Jointer Knives

    I recently acquired a PM 50 6" jointer, in very used condition. I have aligned the tables (as much as I could) and set the fence to 90 degrees. Now it is time to turn attention to the knives. I have a manual which offers some help, but the section on blade replacement leaves a lot to the...

    Cutting down HSS planer knives

    I need to buy some spare planer knives for my new planer. Unfortunately, it's not a very common size (15.25" x 11/16" x 1/8"). I did find the right size HSS knives at a good price at Holbren - but 3" too long (i.e. 18") knives. Does anyone see a problem with shortening the knives by scoring...

    Sharpening knives

    Hi, It's way past time to sharpen my jointer (Delta 8") and planer (dewalt 12.5") knives. Can anyone recommend a good shop locally? I'd also love to get my forrest sawblade sharpened but I'm willing to ship that if necessary. Mark

    Replacing jointer knives

    I have an old delta 37-220 (6" jointer) that apparently takes 6 1/8x 19/32 x 3/32 knives. I ended up ordering the wrong size: 6 1/8 x 5/8 x 1/8. So it is 1/32 too tall and 1/32 too thick. It didn't look too crazy so I installed them anyway. I ended up having to grind down my wrench to be able...

    Freud 6" jointer knives

    Has any one ever tried the Freud 6" jointer knives on a Delta jointer? Are they any good? Amazon.com has a 3 pack for 17.98. That's 3 sets for my jointer for less than the price of 1 Delta .

    Ridgid Planer Knives

    There has been a lot of discussion about the availability (or the unavailability) of replacement knives for the Ridgid TP1300 and the newer Ridgid R4330. Especially on the Ridgid forum. This dilemma has kept some people from buying these lunchbox planers. I was in the Home Depot in Hickory...
