Do I need a special jig to sharpen 12" planer blades?

no having having a 12 inch planner, I'm not sure but I would think you would need a jig to sharpen it evenly.

I am not familiar with the term "plumbing bits" but Tormek has a jig for just about any items that requires sharpening. Contact Tormek to see which jig is right for your needs.

If you check you should find one on Amazon, under wookworking plane blades in hand tool. Also I have done business with http://www.highlandwoodworking.com. I've found them to be dependable and carry a very good supply of tools. Possible Amazon has a link to them you will not be disappointed.Sincerely,Joseph

Ready to go....the blade can be honed to your livening, such as a micro bevel and however you strop your edge. I found this tool extremely well built for my purpose. I use it as a miter plane with a shooting board. You will not be disappointed. I am sure veritas planes are fine, but at double plus the price is very hard to swallow.

The T-7 can absolutely be used to sharpen a convex edge - it does so on turning tools very effectively. However, TORMEK offers jigs to allow professional quality sharpening of turning tools, while there is no jig designed for pruners. And since the grinding surface on the wheel is flat, there will only be a narrow line of contact during the grinding process, making it extremely challenging to produce a consistent, even curve. Short of a specialized machine for this purpose, a better choice would be the Multitool, using the slack side of the belt.

First, your shaper gotta have a T-track on it's tabletop to accept the jig and it gotta have to be able to use half inch shank router bit.

I don't think you can - BUT here is the link to this jig (BTW I have one and love it) http://www.grizzly.com/products/Tenoning-Jig/H7583 Now I did not see this as an option and I my slots are 3/4. Now if your table saw is under powered or a low cost saw you might not have enough power to use this. Now you can always purchase some 5/8 inch stock (mild Steel) and drill it to replace the existing guild. The other thing is your blades need to be in really good condition. Now that I am done with my caution recommendations I will tell you this is a wonderful jig to have if you cut tenons - it will take some time to set up and align to your saw so get out your dial indicator , engineers square , calipers and alignment plate , it should take about an hour but it is well worth it. Just as a note , it is good to align your saw once a year too , so make a morning out of it.

No, based on a search of your model you'd need the U-shank and it looks like a u-shank with the hole.http://media.insidewoodworking.com/jigsaw-blades-u-vs-t-shank-b1.jpg

Nope, any regular quality sharpener will work fine. The long point sharpener is pretty cool but there is a 2 step process.

I have not set mine up yet. With the info I received with the planer/molder it states that you can use custom blades.

I've never tried to sharpen them. I have sharpened other bits and blades etc. You would want to sharpen from the hole side only. I would imagine a dremel would work fine though.

We are still using the blade that came with it. Just finished a 16 X 24 cabin with 6X8 cedar walls and if the blade needs sharpening, i guess you would have to find someone who sharpens them.

No. I ordered separately a two-stage Wusthof sharpener that is rather inexpensive but works very well.

No. They need a 3000 grit shun stone. And you must sharpen it at a 16 degree angle

You shouldn't have to sharpen it actually the materials your passing it through should do it for you. However for the rare instance where it does all you need to do is take a metal file to the edges of the tool. I would file a little bit off then test it out until you have the edge you want

I would limit the pieces to no shorter than 4 inches - anything shorter could risk catching in the blade assembly and causing damage and possible injury by itself. You could probably go shorter if you follow a short piece with longer piece that can be accessed from both sides to ensure the shorter piece is fully fed through the planer.

I have never (and wouldn't) try to sharpen a serrated edge with a sharpener that takes away metal from the edge. A serrated blade requires a special rod sharpener. I do not recommend the diamond sharpener, it will damage your blade.
