Just got my new jointer blade sharpening hone.
http://www.leevalley.com/wood/page.aspx?c=2&p=33002&cat=1,43072,43078&ap=1
Just got done trying it out. Easy to use and setup. Awesome.
No more waiting 3-4 weeks to get my blades back from the sharpener.

I've been thinking about getting one of these jigs. I have no experience
sharpening anything. How big a nick will this jig remove?
Is it just basically for honing?

When Robin was in Saskatoon and touring our plant, he let something
slip about another venture they're considering (and no, I won't tell so
don't ask)...
My response was "You bastard! How much *more* of my money do you want?"

agreed. The only possible solution is to convince friends and family
members to spend THEIR money at Lee Valley (Christmas, Father's day,
birthday gifts for you) so that YOU don't have to. There are no other
options. I've managed to get about 1/2 my LV fix that way.

Between the WW tools, gardening, and hardware cats, that's not far

Doubt you could ever take enough material off jointer blades to affect the
balance. Not a high-speed device, plus the mass of the head itself and it's
secured pretty good.

Tom,
Get yourself a good selection of papers (some wet 'n dry too) and you can
quickly take out reasonable sized nicks and hone a set of 3 blades in about
30 mins - after you've done it once. First time around, your time will
depend on your learning curve capability. But if you can get 4 pieces of
float glass and put a different grade of paper on each one, the process will
go quickly.
I can say that the jig has more than paid for itself in the number of times
I would have sent the blades out for sharpening or replacing them. I have 3
sets that I rotate out and after milling some really rough (dirty) stock
this past summer, I had to sharpen all 3 sets again. Took me about 30 mins
per set. (that's 10 mins worth of work and 20 mins of admiring how sharp
they are.....;-)

Well, it was my own fault really. I couldn't make it up to an LV store until
the last day of the month which was the last day of the Bessey sale. As it
is, considering the difficulty I had getting up to the store, I'll have a
friend who lives nearby pick up the clamps when they come in and bring them
down to me. I'm going to be really interested in how well these clamps work
for me. I've only used some Pony clamps and a few cheap pipe clamps before.

Hi Greg -
Yup - shows Jan 6th on our system.... we just sent a bunch a week or two ago
too...
Everyone who ordered up to Oct 25 has theirs already (unless a CC was
declined)...
Won't be any charge until the clamps actually ship...
Bessey's doing their best to keep up!
Cheers -
Rob

Is their anything special you do with this jig to maintain the balance on
the 3 or 4 knives? Or does the honing not remove enough material to
significantly alter the weight?

I heard that they were opening a Lee Valley wing at The Betty Ford

Taunton's Fine Cooking magazine.... and looked at the ads...

Hey Robin,
Don't mean to hijack this thread, but there has been a question
burning in the back of my mind.
You ARE planning to ship the BesseyK clamps that were ordered back in
November? Rest of the order shipped, but the clamps were on back
order. I was not charged... Please tell me you are...
Thanks,

Not sure. I guess if you started with a low grit sandpaper or a fast
cutting watertstone you could remove a nick with it.
I haven't had to remove any nicks yet.

It's free with the first order.
Also in the teflon kit is "wallet lube", which is chemically
cross-linked with the ink used in LV catalogs. This product helps the
cash and credit cards slide out of the wallet faster upon arrival of
each new catalog.
