I am also interested in buying a planer for the shop. In addition to the
questions that Tom brought up, I have some more general questions about
owning a planer.
1. How much does it cost to have the knives sharpened for a 10 or
12 inch planer?
2. How often will a home woodworker need to get them sharpened?
3. Is a set of carbide knives worth the investment?
4. After getting knives resharpened, is it possible for me to align
the knives myself, or does a pro need to do it? Any special
tools required?
Thank you very much for your responses,
