Jointer/Planer Blade Sharpening Jig

thingiverse

Version one of a jig designed to secure my 12-inch jointer blades at a 45-degree angle for sharpening on a granite plate using wet/dry sandpaper. This is a lengthy print that took approximately 36 hours to complete. The jig shown in the images is split into two pieces due to a Y-axis layer shift that occurred about two-thirds of the way up. Although it was less than a millimeter, this shift affected the registration of the jig with the blades. Instead of reprinting, I cut along the shift line and use the jig in its current two-piece form.
