What is the thickest blade that can be sharpened with this unit?

Thick enough for any normal knife, and machete, but nothing wider. VERY good unit, by the way. Best electric I have used, especially if you follow up with a steel.

Cannot break DE blades in half. Need single edge blade as they are different thickess and height.

Um not quite sure what youre asking there buddy. But I'll try my best... it only has one edge on it and it is sharpened on two angles

I have two models, both very tough blades. The Golok is about 1/4 inch thick, tapering toward the point. My experience with these blades has been good.

I use an accu-sharp knife and tool sharpener. It does a fantastic job on this particular blade. When you see one; the way it is used is pretty self-explanatory.

serrated blades can be sharpened. Just get a Diamond sharpener for serrated blades. I got mine at Lowe's

This blade need to be sharpened by a profesional, or get a new brand blade.

Would be too thick if you used the knife to guide. I don't have the knife anymore because of that- wasn't useful for cutting even slices.

be careful. I sharpened mine with pocket sharpener and it scratched the blade coating of the side of the blade because the blade is so thick. the blade coating is not durable at all

The thickness is maintained over the entire blade length. It is 1/4 inch thick

Sharpened, which I love, because you can control the point you want :-). Hope this helps.

its a machete so it is supposed to be thin. If you want thick get the Cold Steel 1917 Cutlass Sword.

The blade is not thin. It is a strong, sturdy piece of steel that will cut through all types of brush and shrubs. I would get the longer blade if I had a chance to do it all over again. Less bending required....

I don't know though, if you need a replacement, you might want to try Hock or Lee Valley/Veritas blades - they come in several types for hardness and sharp edges.

As yet I have not needed to sharpen the blade but a qualified local blade sharpener could surely do the job, although a good handyman I would not attempt it myself. At some point it will be necessary to purchase to purchase a new one and replacing is quite easy.I hope this is usefulThe unit makes laying a laminate floor a breeze.Richard Nova Scotia Canada

Doesn't need to be sharpened. I have had mine for over 10 years and it still works fine. Bought this one for a friend who used mine and couldn't believe how easy it was to use.

The blade is not too thick, but I don't have a way to measure it. The knife is fairly big as it is so the thickness is not noticable.
