Jointer Planer Blade Sharpener 12" Woodworking Knife Sharpening Jig Aluminum - 1pack

Simple, but effective. A friend told me about this and I had to check it out. It’s extremely well-made and surprising for the price.

Makes quick work sharpening my 6" jointer blades. I start with a diamond steel if there are chips, then move to 600 wet dry sandpaper wet down with a spray bottle, then 1000. I do this on a piece of plate glass. This jig and a magnetic blade setting jig make a reasonably quick job of changing jointer blades.

Set screw sockets were sloppy with 2 totally stripped. New set screws ar ACE Hardware for $1.69 and I’m happy. Works well. I sharpened 3 sets of 4 jointer knives. The jig and 4 sheets of wet/dry sand paper cost less than paying for one set of knives to be sharpened.

Ease of use is awesome, blades get nice and sharp. Would buy another.

Very solid and well made.

Just a few short passes on a 1000grit diamond stone and the blades are so sharp it's scary

really simple tool to make sure you get a good consistent edge on planer and jointer blades. The tool is sturdy aluminum, even with the hollow section it has a good weight and feel to it. I was able to get a nice sharp edge on both my jointer and planer blades. The six inch version is good for ~6in blades, I would probably recommend the larger version for tackling larger planer knives though.

I liked the sharpener, but as noted by some others, the angle is not 45 degrees as stated in the description. Perhaps some were properly made. I wanted to get it replaced, but without any assurances of getting one with the proper angle I just returned it.
