Veritas Jointer blade sharpening jig

Does anyone use this?

Would it work on 12 1/2" planer knives as well as the stated 8" or
smaller jointer knives?

My local knife sharpeners are becoming less reliable and I'm thinking of
"insourcing" my jointer and planer knife sharpening.

Other suggestions are welcome, but I'm not really interested on dropping
$800 for a Tormek and related accessories.

Thanks!

The Makita 9820 handles big knives and isn't nearly that much money.

I have one lying around somewhere that I've been aiming to clean up and
either use it or sell it. You've made me wonder where it got off to...
