As a Geek, I see power tools just a little different than most. I'm excited about the details and which ones have what makes sense instead of just which one is best for the ego. Sure, I like powerful. But I also appreciate it when someone just gets the balance of power and usability right.

Planer Blade Sharpener

As I was walking through our new showroom today, I noticed an odd looking product. I hadn't seen one like it before (we didn't have enough room in our last showroom), so I had to ask what it was. Turns out, it is a planer blade sharpener and we already had it on our website.

Japanese Waterstone Sharpener

Japanese waterstones are known for being very good sharpeners, but they're very manual and tiresome to use. Makita addressed this problem by taking the benefits of a waterstone sharpener and making the stone spin at 560 rpm. Thanks to Makita, you can get the super sharp finish without the tiresome work.

Sharper Than Sharp

That's right, when you get a new planer blade, it's supposed to be sharp. But this sharpener makes it even sharper than brand new, so it's sharper than sharp. If you want precise planing, this is exactly the tool you need.
