Hi everyone, new to this site (and woodworking generally) but I had a quick question that perhaps someone on this thread could answer. I just bought both a table saw and a jointer/planer from some hobbyists on craigslist a few weeks ago. I'm trying to mill my lumber down to size and keep getting trapezodial edges. I'm afraid the jointer knives are not properly aligned (and since both are knicked in the same place, they probably ought to be replaced). So here are my questions:
1. Does anyone have any recommendations for a place near Durham/RTP that would sharpen those jointer blades for me (or give me an idea as to how much it would cost, each blade is 5" long)?
2. Does anyone know of a business or person who might be willing (for a small fee) set the blades for me so as to ensure they are as level as possible? I don't have the jigs or tools required, but would be willing to spend a few dollars to make sure it was done correctly. Also, as per the original topic - I would certainly join a woodshop in the RTP area.
Thanks for your help in advance,
Chris
