Yes, they do.

I am going down to drop my saw blade after the holiday. I asked if I
could get a tour of the shop. I always like to see someone elses shop.
You never know what kind of storage or interesting ideas you get.

If they come out as sharp as the saw blades it will be worth the $10 per
blade to sharpen. I did the last one myself and while it came out
excellent as is proof by the cut I am getting, I remember how hard I
struggled to knock down the nick and then size the blade, then hone it.
A big long blade is tougher than a hand held plane iron.

That struggle might be the reason that I put off changing this long this
time. It's always in the back of your mind if you know what I mean.

Just switched out my planer blades today.
Damn I wish I had done that earlier. I had a feeling my feed problems
might be related.

After seeing the cut after, I'm wondering why I didn't do it earlier.
It's like glass again.

Even though I sharpen my hand plane blades regularly, I avoid the
machines until I have to. The jointer I touch up while still on the
jointer. But the planer ... that's another story. I noticed that the cut
was also off from one side to the other. And that was really getting my
attention.

Plan to bring the blades to Forrest when I drop my saw blade off. I
figure if they sharpen it like my saw blade, I'll be happy.


Does Forrest sharpen planer knives?
