Veritas Planer Blade Sharpener
Description
Normally nicked blades will require a sophisticated grinder or a trip to a commercial sharpening service.
Veritas' planer blade sharpener is designed to restore blades dulled from normal use, even if they contain minor nicks.
It clamps blades 200mm wide (including hand plane blades) for sharpening on PSA backed abrasives. Just stick the abrasive to a flat surface, adjust the elevating screw until the bevel is flat on the abrasive and use it as you would any other honing guide.
After basic sharpening switch to a finer abrasive, turn the elevating screw a half turn or more and hone to a fine micro-bevel.
It is easy and effective letting you quickly restore blades that you would probably allow to become duller before sending them to a sharpening service.
The jig is made of cast aluminium with brass and steel fittings.
It comes with a half sheet of 15 micron (1000 grit) 3M micro-finishing film.
