I don't know about tungsten carbide. My knives are HSS. I would go to the Makita website and ask that question of Makita.

You can sharpen them, but it will grind away a bit of the serrations each time, depending on which set of wheels your using that can cause your serrated blade to end up not so serrated after a while.

Yes, but a regular flat sharpening stone will do a better job. This tool is really designed for pocket knives and fixed blade hunting knives where the included angle is 30 and 40 degrees.

Mine is serrated so it can't be sharpened, but it shouldn't have to be. They call it micro serrated, the teeth are very small and close together. Don't put the blades in the dishwasher or let hard stuff hit them and it should last a long time

If you could upload an image of your chisel I think I could give you an answer. I sharpen planner blades and regular chisels on it. The wheel cuts very slowly.

All blades dull. You can't avoid that with any planer. For the money, this planer is great.

Not advisable. I've tried it on an old Craftsman power planer w/ the results of a jam-packed planer with a burnt-up drive belt. Clearing required more dis-assembly than you'd think. If you have much wood to clean, a woodsman's tool called a 'spud' is available for much less than an electric planer. Or a steel edged long handle ice chipper sharpened to a solid sharp edge would work well, cost at less the $50.

Yes, of course it can be sharpened. Get to it! You'll be done in less than an hour! Cheers!

I do believe you can do so, but must say I have not tried one myself. It will sharpen almost any edge you want, axe.s, lawn mower blades, scissors, gut-hook knives also. Hope this helps out..es

Yes, just be sure your shun is not a single sided edge. I have two shuns and it sharpens them beautifully.

No. You would need a shaper for that. Because of the enclosure and blade design on the planer, it will only run straight mouldings.

Not for sharpening saw blades at all. You can only sharpen straight blades well. The sharpening tool for the serrated edged of a blade (round part)only does a fair job as a touch up sharpening tool. CRAB

I looked in the manual and it says that the warranty is not covered by "routine maintenance items such as lubricants, blade sharpening". That leads me to believe you can sharpen the blades.

I am not positive, but I doubt it. It uses a pair of stones the sharpen blades. That would likely remove the coating.

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

The only way I know of to sharpen a set of blades like this is by using a rat tail diamond hone. It is skill dependent and time consuming. Highly recommend purchasing a spare set of blades and scrap the idea of sharpening.

Yes you can. Traditionally only the last 1/2 to last 1/4 of the blade was sharpened. A caveat exists. Generally blades from China are poor at holding a good edge, and are very brittle (i.e. the blade is more decoration than functional), so do some research on the steel used in making the blade.
