Thanks, Jeff, for the axe.  Quickest rebate (other than instant ones) that I have  ever received.  Looks like a great axe.

Thanks to all for the imput.  I have ordered the jig and can't wait to give it a try.

I am interested in purchasing the planer blade attachment. SVH-320 (this is one reason I bought the t-7 grinder.)  However, the thing that concerns me is that my planer blades are 12 1/4" long, and from what I understand, you have to reposition the blade in the holder for blades  that are over 10 1/2" long.  Seems to me that Tormek would have a jig to handle blades at least that long (12" blades are very common) without resetting.  Also, according to a couple of the posts that I  have read, though  this is not perfectly clear to me, seem to suggest that blades of this length could be sharpened by removing some pin.  Any help would be appreciated. Also, I have read where there are issues with 6" blades, which my jointer has.

Two questions; 1.  can the wheel truing jig, TT-50, be used on a high speed dry grinder (with the proper anchoring) without ruining the cutter tip?  2.  I recently purchased the T-7, and right out of the box I was pleased with sharpening my user chisels, until I came to the 1/4" ones.  For some reason, they did not sharpen square.  I am a little reluctant to move on to my Stanley 750's and witherby's.  I probably am a novice of the novices, but evidently I am doing something wrong.  Maybe someone has a book "Sharpening for Dummies."
