sharpening planer blades which is new to me & bothers me for a long time. [woodworking]

I go out to sharpen planer blades to a service shop. It always bothers me. And sharpening costs 3 $ a blade. The service man doesn't look like he is satisfied with small charge. I am unhappy too.
Couples of weeks ago I happened to watch a video related with sharpening on CZcams. Happy happy moment!! I decided to sharpen my blades myself. And now I have sharpened mine.

Loved that sacrificial block idea on the table saw.

[@j-woodworking9573]

Thanks for watching sir.

[@garymcmullin2292]

suggest longer abrasive paper because in this set up the ends of the blades cut slower/less than the middle which is always on the abrasive. If the slots in the wood jig loosen with shrinkage and they may, it can be fixed with wedging a thin piece of some material to firmly hold the blades. A third groove for the third blade would be a good upgrade, so that all three blades can sharpen the same amount and be done at the same time.

[@daveklassen7052]

If you make the block a little wider, then you can have three slots, that way all the blades will sharpen/wear at the same rate. As is now one blade has slightly more material removed, because you sharpen it more (it is supporting the block on the one side when you sharpen two different blades). I like this simple design.

What a beautifully elegant solution!

[@user-qw8qr2lb5b]

Хорошая идея.
Для лучшей заточки нужно использовать длинную ленту наждачной бумаги - не менее 1 метра.
Под бумагу положить стекло.
Наждачную бумагу нужно хорошо натянуть и закрепить по концам.
Лезвия можно закрепить в приспособлении с помощью двух винтов по дереву с каждой боковой стороны приспособления.
Концы винтов затупить для усиления прижима лезвий.
Винты вкрутить под углом, чтобы они прижимались перпендикулярно лезвиям.
Алгоритм заточки трех лезвий: точим сначала два лезвия (первое и второе) на 50%, затем одно-первое вынимаем и ставим третье.
Точим третье на 50%, а второе будет уже заточено на 100%.
Вынимаем второе и ставим первое лезвие. Точим до 100% первое и третье.
Успехов вам!

Nicely done & great idea J! However, I would recommend that you get a blade guard for that planer. Your fingers are way to close to that spinning blade and all it takes is one slip for disaster to occur! Just my opinion...........

No guard when using the planer, and watch where his right hand is as the wood exits the end of the cut!! And sharpening one blade twice is not a good idea, the blades will be of balance!!!

Great invention, I don't own a jointer/planer yet, but sharpening the blades looks like a chore. I wanted to comment about cutting those grooves/dados without the riving knife. I had a kickback accident with my table saw last week, the first in 5 years and I was making a cut similar to the one you did, with only 1/8 in. of the blade exposed and a riving knife attached. It hit my hip like a bullet and turned it purple. It really caught me by surprise, fortunately, the micro jig grr-ripper saved my fingers.. 😅 Now I know to stand to the side when making any riskier cuts.

[@j-woodworking9573]

Thanks for comment of your experience for us sir.
Thanks for watching.

[@charlescote8391]

Pretty sure you cannot make those cuts with a riving knife in place . At least not on my saw. Guessing they perform several potential functions, including keeping cut wood from closing due to stresses in the wood and grabbing the blade. Cuts like these are not thru and i am guessing are unlikely to close on the blade.

[@kahoycrafts]

@@charlescote8391 Good point. J is a pro so I'm sure he's doing it safely. 👍 The riving knife on my saw has a position for non-thru cuts, and my zero clearance insert has an opening for the knife as well, so I never take it off unless it's a dado stack. I just wanted to share my experience as it was pretty recent and kind of unexpected. I'm also extremely careful and methodical with my work and tools. 😅

[@charlescote8391]

@@kahoycrafts michael...stay safe and methodical. It is best, especially around saws. Maybe i need to update my saw system.

[@garymcmullin2292]

Why can not we buy such blocks ready!!?
I can not find anything on Ebay or Ali etc..
Every hardware store should offer such blocks ready.
Then better made of plastic.
And possibly with benefits.
E.g. four adjustable wheels in the corners, which ensure an absolutely uniform grinding.

You shouldn’t tighten or undo the bolts from one end to the other...

What was the grid for the 1st sandpaper

[@glennryzebol4472]

two slots but three blades. confident they are all sharpened evenly?

[@j-woodworking9573]

I agree with you. I sharpen two first. One of the sharpened knives and the unsharpened one second. The other one of first sharpened knives and the second sharpened one. I don't think this way of sharpening makes major problem. The amount of sharpening is pretty small.

[@j-woodworking9573]

[@iotaje1]

Very smart! You should still bring the blades to be ground once in a while, if one blade is sharpened more than the others the spinning head will start to vibrate.

[@j-woodworking9573]

That is right.
Thanks for watching sir.

[@rojerjula5824]

What if your jointer has odd number of blades for example 3 blades, what are you going to do with the one that is left over? Make a dummy blade?

[@nickyork8901]

I wondered that, but you can alternate in pairs to make sure they all get the same number of strokes each, for even sharpening. Would need to mark the blades not to get them mixed up. Essential that they are all sharpened the same amount.

[@j-woodworking9573]

I sharpen two first. And I take sharpened one from the jig and put the unsharpened one in the slot again. Sharpen again.
I don't think there will be vibration because sharpening would be very very small amount.

한국은 대패날 연마비용이 비싼가요?
저는 브라질에서 목공하는중인데 30센치 대패날의 경우 한국돈으로 2000원 정도로 연마가 가능해서 보통 연바를 보내는 편입니다.

[@j-woodworking9573]

여기서도 날 1개에 3천원, 3개에 9천원으로 저렴합니다. 그러나 멀지 않지만 다녀와야하는 번거로움과, 가공업체 입장에서는 너무 작은 돈이라 반가워하지 않고, 그쪽 사정에 따라 하루 이틀씩 기다리라 하기도 합니다.
제가 직접 집에서 연마해보니 날을 탈착 연마 장착 모두 해서 15분이면 총분하고요, 연마상태도 만족합니다.

안녕하세요 목공일기님
현재 목공방을 준비중입니다.
자금부족으로 인해 복합기를 고민하고 있습니다.
헬리컬날과 일반날중 고민을하고있습니다.
일반날 복합기를 사용 하시는데 결과물에 대해 만족하시나요?
일반날과 헬리컬날 기계가격이 약 110만원 차이가 나서 고민중입니다....

[@j-woodworking9573]

목공의 가장 중요한 장비중의 하나가 대패라고 생각합니다. 저도 비용때문에 평날을 선택했지만 후회하고 있습니다. 언젠가는 헬리컬로 교체할겁니다. 시작할 때 조금은 부담스럽지만 헬리컬로 구매하길 추천합니다. 작업성능에서 헬리컬이 월등하게 우수합니다. 제 생각이었습니다.
