using the planer blade atachment to sharpen Ice shaver blades

[docg1956]

Hi to all we are thinking of adding this service to our supply business which is snowball equipment flavors machines. We have been using a company that sharpened saw blades and such but alas they have closed their door for business. So would the planer blade attachment tool work for the three blades used in a southern snow shaver? The size of the blades is 4" long X 1.25 wide X 1/8" thick. Any and all info is needed thanks in advance Doc G.

Welcome to the forum, Doc.

I can't answer your question definitively, however, I just measured the blades on my Delta four inch jointer. They are 4" x 1/8" by 5/8". I bought the jointer second hand, and it is most of a half century old, so I don't know what the 5/8" was originally. My gut feeling is that it should work for you.

However, I suggest you contact Tormek support in Sweden for a more definitive answer. The email address is support.tormek.se. I have found them quite good about responding quickly.

You might enjoy the video on the Tormek website, one of the Tormek friends series about the ice carver.

Keep us posted.
