Ok... So its getting time to sharpen the jointer blades on my 8" jointer. I see the pain that people are going through here with a smaller 6", and it makes me worry about my 8".
Along that vein, my 20" planer ain't gonna last forever w/o a sharpening. Its a Griz, w/ 4 blades on the cutter head...
Can the Tormek allow me to (easily) do 8" jointer blades? What about 20" planer blades?
Jeff? I didn't receive much for replies in the yahoo group... Any advice for me?

Best advise is the read the book. Then read it again.
The only trick with the SVH-320 is to carefully establish your "zero-point" and then drop the support beam from there. I usually do it about a half turn of the adjustment knobs until I have the blade sharp. Do the worst blade first, then you are pre-set for the second, third, and fourth blade.
Jeff,
Any chance that Tormek will come out with a planer blade attachment for larger than 12" blades. I have the one for the 12" but have ordered a 15" planer and want to continue sharpening my own blades. Or maybe a tutorial on how to reset the blade in the jig to accomadate the longer blades. Looking forward to your response.
Thanks
Mike
