Hmmm ... you mean the nickers? I could have sworn I sharpened the
blades on those long ago.

so I could sharpen them for you)


Nah, I was just yanking your chain. Those suckers- cutters and
nickers- are sharper than razors. Cross grain white oak? No
problem! :-) The first few dadoes I was taking these nice wispy cuts,
just because I could. The last 10 I set the blade with a little more
depth to hog it out a little faster and the plane didn't balk at all.
Nice.
