I just got a new standard hand plane, (well relitively new since it was in an antique shop it was in great condition), and after buying it I noticed something off about the blade edge. It is a diamond edge. And my questions for you are, can I sharpen a diamond edge on my whetstones and strap, do I ever actually have to sharpen it, what do I do with something like this?

[@anubispup4760]

@@katzmosestools So, Diamond Edge is the strictly brand apparently. However the blade for it was apparently replaced at some point and the edge was extremely hard and very difficult to sharpen, so for awhile I thought it was actually diamond edged like some tools I've used in the past.

[@johnsall6274]

We recently lumbered a 36" maple, a 36" white ash, and a 32" pecan. After drying, we tried planing with a Rigid (Home Depot) 13" planer with 2 HSS knives kzbin.infoUgkxIzvvTi3_Qc8JnVdYYRJCvuoDC4QjTzeL . This job was clearly too much for that machine. The pecan was particularly difficult, due to heavy mineral deposits, and a sharp pair of HSS knives would be consumed by a mere 3 boards. We were also having lots of problems from chip bruising, due to poor dust collection. The shavings came off like straw and jammed in the 4" hose.We bought the DW735 simply to be able to run carbide blades, which worked brilliantly for the pecan. However, we found it to be a much, MUCH nicer machine. It was far more rigid than the "Rigid" planer, and far more accurate as well. But what I liked most about it was the dust feed. This machine has its own blower, which shreds the "straw" like shavings as they come off the cutting head and helps boost the shavings into the dust collection system. No more clogs! It's also nicely sealed so that the internals stay quite clean. This is just a well tempered machine that's a delight to use. It literally cut the labor in half. Just another example of getting what you pay for.

[@joelesko3267]

I absolutely love what you do bud!! I literally went from having no clue how to sharpen chisels and planer irons to basically using my planer iron as a mirror and shaving my face with my chissel.

I bought a cheap horrible genetic branded no.4 a few years back when getting into working on the house and woodworking. Put me off hand planes. But then one day I came across a couple of old Stanley's now I've got a small collection. Sharpening then right was such a big part of the enjoyment of using them.

I enjoy to sharpen my tools and take my time to do it. In the beginning I spent a lot of time to restore the blades of old tools, later I spent a lot of time to correct my mistakes, because the stones I used weren’t flat. So keep your stones flat and enjoy the process of sharpening. First improve your results than the speed.

[@richardgoebel226]

Something I did not see you do on the video but I figure you do it anyway. When you wipe off the blade between grits wipe off the roller, too. Just as you can transfer larger pieces of grit from the coarse stones to the finer stones via the blade you can transfer even more on the roller. Second point is locking your wrists. I lock them against my stomach and strop the blade while moving my entire body sideways. Of course the strop is oriented sideways, also.

[@stoneyjt]

hey love your video, at the 8:27 you said about checking that it's still square, if it's not how and what would be the best way to square it off again before you carry on sharpening?

[@cgdibble]

If you are sharpening routinely, how do you store your stones? My understanding is that storing whetstones in water long term isn't great for them. But, I find myself not good at timing my sharpening needs and knowing when to fill the bin with water to start the soak.

Not really exploring the potential of bevel ups. The whole point is, they are effectively "variable angle" planes and most useful when deployed on difficult woods at 60 degrees or higher.

Thoughts on using abrasive sheets on float glass such as the scary sharp technique from Matthew Platt at Workshop Heaven?

[@katzmosestools]

Whatever works but sandpaper wears pretty quickly when wet and without moisture it would get clogged quickly

[@dougfreeman3229]

Works great. Use mylar backed abrasive such as used for polishing the ends of fiber optic cable. The abrasive lasts a long time, and using a little water keeps it clear. Use diamond stones for coarse work. My sheet abrasives start at 25um and go down to 0.3um, no stropping required.

I am having a plane blade with carbide tip. Having tough time to put it for first use. Only diamond stones are able to remove material from the plane. I don’t yet have whetstones higher than 170 grit. I will be getting 400 and 1000 grit diamond whetstones which may help to get better finish than now. But I seriously doubt if I will be able to successfully strop this carbide tip plane. I would really appreciate a guidance on carbide tipped plane.

[@philclennell]

That Veritas jig must be the most uncomfortable and cumbersome one out there. Their parallel jaw offering is way better, more so than the LN if I may say so. I've tried every method of sharpening under the sun and always gone back to a jig for repeatability and precision. Just don't push it forward (rounds the edge) or strop (rounds the edge). Start on diamond stone(s) and finish on a fine water stone with a small micro bevel up another couple of degrees. Keep the iron dead flat or use the Charlesworth ruler trick. Job done.

For me as a metal person it is very interesting to see these planes. Honestly I have never seen a "standard" low angle plane" before. I did not even know they existed. I actually never held a plane made from steel in my hands. It really seems as if german carpentership is somewhat behind in that field. All I am used to is those nasty wooden planes that no one expect a zen master can set up right.

[@basstrammel1322]

I would LOVE some input on a situation: A great-grandfather had an oddly shaped grindstone that I think is quite emotional to me, but should I let someone cut it so I can sharpen my kitchen knifes on it? It's shaped like a stone-age rough sledgehammer without a hole, but he sharpened his blades on one half of the curved nside. An architect and furniture carpenter, working his planes to the core. I have a stack of different exotic wood pieces from the 1800s (his dad's), a pristine teak leveller with brass adjustable labelles, a hand-saw with beautiful carved teak handle, and tools and nick-nacks and so-forths. But that grindstone speaks to me, it's hold so much history. But leave it be, or let someone cut it straight? I could not be more torn between the options. It's so much used It would not wonder me if it was from the early 1700s. I've seen an old tool or two in my life. I know how to sharpen knives pretty well, I've done it by hand for 20 years at work and at home. I'm very confident in it, I would never do this man wrong. I'm doing 32.5 degrees at P2000 now. (Guess which line of family who thaught me that when I was 11 years old 🙂). I'm second to last in line for these things, I'll tell my niece about the significance when she grows up. Cut, or no cut?

[@basstrammel1322]

I think i should get my friend at the head stone mason to cut it lenghtwise, p1000 on one side, maybe p2200 on the other one. So all the sharpening through history is still there, and I'll give it all to my niece whens she's established.
