I paid particularly close attention to the Makita 9820-2.The author said
that it is great for jointer and planer knives, it is a weak for plane irons
because you have to freehand the iron on the tool rest.

I find this odd because Steve Knight has been a proponent of this tool and
he uses it primarily for plane irons.


Yeah - Highland Hardware sells a $14.95 2-in-1 jig that solves this
problem. A 15 second google search would have found it (It's listed
as #7 - "User's Guide" when searching for "makita" and "9820."

I was not impressed with the review.
