don't get new planes or blades, what you have now is superior

teach you haow to sharpen instead. If we knew where you are you

Dave's right. You're 90% of the way there. Whatever it is that you're

But what you're trying to do is not rocket science.

BTW, send the jointer blades out to be done. That's cheap and reliable.
