This tutorial explains how to grind a plane blade using a Viel Tools S5 Belt Grinder. Thanks to Brent Beach for pushing me down the belt sander slope. Grinding is key to sharpening. In fact, it may be the biggest hinderance to sharpening. I''ve tried course sandpaper on glass, a course silicon carbide stone, and a hand crank grinder.
