What to do w/ old planer knives???
 

Just replaced the knives in my planer.
Seems ashamed to toss out some good steel.

Any ideas??
(they have been resharpened a few times already - so other than that)


Thanks,
Rob

Make chisels and small handplane blades? Probably do it all with a grinder.

Excellent parting tool materials if you are a turner. Also good for
tiny scrapers.

Really good for custom ground bits for hollowing or tools.

Marking knife?

That skew chisel that would be nice for getting into the corners of a
dovetail but just isn't used enough to justify buying commercial?

If they are resharpenable, keep resharpening them. I know the ones in my
planer can be resharpened at least 10 to 15 times.

A few things come to mind; marking knives (left and right handed);
scratch stock for a beading tool; mini drawknife for fine work;
shiv......just in case some jail time is in your future.... :-)

Just this weekend, I broke one of my 12" blades into thirds. They snap
quite easily in a vise. I made one piece into a nice double bladed marking
knife in less than an hour.
