Will the jointer and planer blade jig handle a 13" planer knife and do a perfect job like a professional machine tool sharpener?

Per manual.."For longer blades, more than 270 mm (10.5 inches) Move the blade in the holder and grind in two steps. Make sure that the back of the blade rests on the stop" As far as a perfect job..In my opinion, that would depend on the proficiency/experience of the person using the Tormek.

Yes, it will. I have a 20" planer and it does it very we'll. Stable all the way to each end.

I have not used it for planer blades yet. According to the instruction book it says that there is a jig for planer blades. Other jigs I bought have worked exactly as stated.

I'm not sure , haven't had to replace knifes yet but think Shop fox makes this planer so their 15" blades should work

Honestly, the answer is NO, it is too short to really work as a joiner. That being said, if you are careful, using this will probably produce a better edge that you'd get from the hardware store, or maybe even a lower end table saw.

Yes... I put in these new knives in my Harbor Freight jointer and it works much better.

Gee, it depends on how wide the blades are. It has 13" of space for knives...that's six 2-inch-wide knives, for instance.

Yes, I have sharpened a 3-1/2 inch bladed knife on mine and it worked great. The one issue I can see is that if the knife is too small then you run the risk of scrapping your hand on the stone.

it will do the job. this is the best machette i use. it is very sharp from the manufacturer and has good weight. you will not be disappointed.

Yes it will work well but the blade should be long enough otherwise the handle of the knife will not allow you to draw the full blade through. The area that the blade needs to pass through is approximately 2 1/8" deep. Keep that in mind. You can stretch it a little by tilting the blade up or down. I have sharpened pearing knives with this unit but it is a little tight.

I watched my buddy sharpen a fillet knike with it using sweeping angles and it worked fine. This when processing my deer so we had to sharpen it "tons" of time. I believe the knife was a 7" blade.

It would depend on your definition of " wood bits ". If you are referring to paddle bits or forstner bits then I don't think it will do the job.But it will sharpen the standard 118 degree drill bits sized from 3/32" to 1/2", and does a good job!

Not what I would use. I use a bench grinder with an extra fine wheel, and a jig for the skew to sharpen mine. YMMV.

I've used the T7 to sharpen 12" jointer blades.... the results were excellent....

Yes I've used it for both a table saw blade and jointer knives. 'o modifications necessary, just put it together differently.

This jig is not suitable for sharpening knives, it's for sharpening chisels, planer blades and such.

It should.The shaft has a star drive while the blender itself has a 4 sided post. This enables the blade to fit securely. I think it will do fine.

I haven.t used the planer function myself. If you mean small as in thin, I imagine it would be able to handle them fine. Just use plenty of supports and roller stands. The pieces need to be big enough in dimension to be stable for the rollers to pull the material through.
