Craftsman Thickness Planer Blades
You'd think you could get these double-sided blades sharpened.
It looks like it would be a pretty straightforward job. Has anyone tried it? Thanks, s |

Of course you can hone them; whether you can sharpen them if have any knick of any size at all is iffy--they are simply too narrow to have much material at all removed. Nothing lost in trying of course... -- |

Craftsman Thickness Planer Blades
I would look for a local sharpener. We have one or two here, and they
will look at your blades and let you know on the spot whether or not they can help you and how much they charge. Since the local guys here have all the jigs, set ups, and wheels, I think you wind up with a much more satisfactory job (it is much more accurate!) when you put your blades in the hands of a professional. If it is some of those cheap, thin blades that are considered disposable, grind the blades into marking knives and buy new planer blades. YMMV. Robert |

Robert Gotta agree there, a shaprening service doing both sides of all the blades is likely to cost about as much as buying new. |
