How about getting a Veritas planer blade honing jig and doing ityourself. Never tried one myself as I don't have a planer but the other kit I have from Lee Valley is first rate.

Don't know the Nantwich area, but many saw specialists also sharpen planer blades. Down here, it's Bedford Saw Services - they might even do mail order if you can't find anyone nearer?

Hi,

I just did a quick Google re SAW SHARPENING NANTWICH and found the following:-

Richard Potter Timber
http://www.fortimber.demon.co.uk

Rowlinson Timber
http://www.rowlinson.co.uk

both show timber as a supplier but don't seem to show sharpening as a service. Maybe worth a phone call.

regards

Alan

Seems a very good way to go, the only downside I can see is it only sharpens up to 8" blades, but if you do fancy it Brimarc agents stock it.

I use East Midlands Saw and Tool Co. They are very good, reasonable price and just down the road from me. I don't know if they do mail order, but I guess if you send your blades in a tube they can use to post back, I see no reason why they wouldn't.

Cheers

Thanks for all the replies the wood yard is very good but not for sharpening , they are 250mm 10" so veritas would be tricky and there past just a touch up, KMD are just down the road use them for building all the time but did not know the offered a sharpening service so its them first and keep a note of east midlands,cheers

I use a local shoe repair and key-cutting shop in Taunton. They send blades, saws , shears etc away for sharpening. return in about a week.
Perhaps one local to you would be worth investigating.

Hi there,

I have a Tormek grider and planer-knife jig, which is easy to use. However, I haven't used the jig except to sharpen my guillotine blades.
Problem is, if you do grind your own planer-knives, you will have to ensure that the knives are finished to exact sizes, because variation in weight can lead to imbalance, when the machine is running. Dangerous on a planing machine, given the speeds involved.

I have a spare set of knives, so that I can send mine away for grinding and avoid 'downtime'.

Unfortunatey the people I used are out of business, so I can't help there.
Have you tried searching the ads in woodworking magazines?

Happy Chipping

John

Yes we do offer a mail order service.

To sharpen a 'Set of 3 x 10" (For Example) P/Irons' HSS would be just £6 + Postage + VAT.

Hope this helps..

That's cheaper than round here. I used to pay £8 + VAT for two 13 in, till I made my own jig.

1 x Pr 13" HSS P/Irons...£5.70 + Vat.

All our P/Irons are sharpened on a magnetic bed knife grinder with coolant.

Once machine sharpened, everything is finished by hand using traditional stones.

We've been sharpening blades since 1953 :wink:
