So, despite care, I've done my thicknesser blade already. I knew it was inevitable, but I didn't think I'd mess up this soon!
Options are to send them off, or diy.
Diy seems to either be making a jig, and using sandpaper, of using a whetstone.
I see tormek units for sale on eBay (older used units) but then the blade jig is required, which are about £70 used.
But then I see Rutland's doing a whole unit for about £90 which seems crazy cheap - is whole kit with jig too.
Or I could just send them off somewhere I guess.
Years ago, I used to send off my engraving cutters. I can't imagine doing that now....
