 Nothing Better Available Today! - Have used this model for over 20 years July 2, 2010

I just bought a new 9820 after using my old one for over 20 years.
I am a full time professional woodworker and have sharpened my planer/jointer knives hundreds of times on this machine. With a little finesse in the set up, it does a fantastic job.
For planer/jointer knives I have always found the 1000 grit stone that comes with the machine more than adequate to produce a very sharp, long lasting edge. I own the course green wheel also, but seldom use it since I rarely damage my knife edges. But when I do put a nick in an edge, the green wheel makes short work of reestablishing a clean facet to sharpen with the 1000 grit wheel.
The machine is a mess to use, since the horizontally spinning stone slings water and stone/steel slurry all around. But since I am a woodworker and a metal worker, I am used to getting filthy while working so it does not bother me. I just make sure that it does not stain anything that I care about keeping clean.
I also own the chisel sharpening jig, but seldom use it. If I nick a chisel edge, I lightly touch it to a small belt sander, always making sure not to overheat the edge, and then sharpen on my diamond stones with the General sharpening jig. This is just much faster and less of a mess than using the 9820.
For me the 9820 is all about planer/jointer knife sharpening. This is where the machine shines. To not have to rely on a sharpening service makes learning to use the 9820 worth it.
No machine is perfect, and the 9820 is no exception. The plastic housing is somewhat fragile, so be careful not to over tighten the height post nobs. The steel backing plate of the stone rusts. I had to reglue the stone to the backing plate with construction adhesive.
My old machine was still running strong despite the plastic housing being cracked and the 1000 grit stone being less than 1/16 " thick after 20 plus years of use. I made some repairs with plastic weld and gave it to a good friend who makes knives. FYI: Grizzly has a great price on the replacement stone.
I would have bought something different in a heartbeat, but there is nothing on the market that does what this machine does: flat grind, water cooled, reasonably priced, easy to use.
Hopefully I will still be around in another 20 years to buy another.
p.s. You can watch a series of "how to" videos on my YouTube channel that shows much more detail on how I use this machine.
Planer Sharpner April 8, 2010

When buying make sure you also buy the course wheel. Takes a long time to sharpen with the factory wheel . Also takes some practice to do it right. This is not a tool for a beginner.
Works superbly but needs coarser stone January 2, 2009
Roger Purdom (Wenatchee, WA)
I have owned this sharpener for several years. I use it to sharpen my 15" planer knives and 8" jointer knives as well as my chisels and hand plane knives. I have the 4000 grit stone as well as the 1000. I get excellent results and the 4000 grit stone creates truly a razor sharp edge. Yes, it's messy. Yes, there are some plastic parts that are a bit cheap and flimsy. But bottomline: it does a very fine job for me. However.... and a BIG however...... Makita does not make a coarser stone. Highland Hardware offered one for a while, but it has been discontinued. Taking the dings out of my planer knives takes a VERY long time with the 1000 grit stone. I messed up and put off buying the Highland stone. So, the 1000 grit is as coarse as I can get. PLEASE Makita, pretty please, offer a coarse stone!!!

If you run a jointer or planer, and have to send your blades out, this is the product for you. I was spending $25 per set and having to wait for my blades, putting me behind schedule constantly.
After a short learning curve, I had my 1st set sharpened and back on the planer, and what a difference! My blades were sharper than the ones were I got back and I'm confident I can do it over and over again. Only 8 sharpenings and I have my investment back.
Two downsides to mention: 1) the included instructions are less than user friendly. I ended up googling the sharpener and found some excellent tips from previous users that really made sharpening understandable and easy to perform. 2) you will get wet using this tool. Make sure you are in a suitable area, and prepared to have some water splashed your way. Not a drowning, but you will be damp.
I love this tool and will get lots of use out of it (One site even showed some homemade jigs for sharpening virtually anything and everything you may wish to sharpen: lathe gouges, chisels, knives, scissors, etc etc)
Sharpening Blades for a Mikita 200mm planer April 3, 2008
A, Nomas (Indiana)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I use the Mikits horizontal sharpener for just one thing, sharpening the blades for my 200mm planer. It does a fantastic job of that, and I can just leave all the settings in place so I get a consistent angle on my blades each time I reuse it. I sharpen everything else on my Tormak.
My complaints are minor. The set up for the support under the blade should be simpler and not involve five knobs. It also is sloppy. Water and grind wheel gunk drip off the blade as you move it back and forth. It is not a neat process.
I didn't want to buy one, but when the local tool company quit servicing tools and would no longer sharpen my blades, I had no choice. It took too much time and involved too much down time to drop off baldes one day and return later in the week to pick them up. It was cheaper to buy the sharpener than to buy an additional set of blades.
