Hi Group, I just touched up the blades in the 8" Pioneer jointer I just got. I noticed that the blades are laminated (insert) and have two different cutting angles. How critical are the cutting angles and where should I get them sharpened? We have a Woodcraft here also professional sharpening services. I'm going to purchase an extra set of blades. It takes four and I see there are carbide and T1. We're not doing production work so we'll probably go with T1 given the cost difference. I was also checking on a dust hood (chute) and since the base looks like Jet's, Powermatic's and Grizzly's I looked at their plastic hoods. Jet's was $98, Powermatic's was $63 and Grizzly's was $9.75 + $7.95 shipping. Why such a big price difference? Jim
