Looks to be a very straight forward design and flexible. Simple, easy to build, and easy to modify to suit your needs.

Ron,

I thought about a similar design. I have three old planer blades that I believe I can sharpen. Keeping the roller square may be challenging.

I have a machinist a couple miles from my house that has built some things for me. I might take this to him.

Hello Randy, I had a machinist we used to work with price this for me - I think he said it'd be about $300.00...In the end I decided that I'd save my cash and pick up one of Bruce Johnstone's used rigs...I still think this idea would work - If everything was machined accurately, the roller should stay square - As long as the tolerances for play are kept to an absolute minimum...

Anyhow, let me know if you pursue it! Part of the trick would be to keep the cutting edge centered directly over the center of the roller...

Ron
