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.

Look around. There are blade sharpening services in every city. They usually
service the paper-cutting blades found in print shops, but a planer or
joiner blade is much the same (only smaller).

I take my planer blades to a shop that resharpens blades for commercial
printer's paper cutters. The largest blade they can do is about five feet in
length.
