I've sharpened woodworking blades on a surface grinder. They burn very easily unless I take off only a few ten-thousandths per pass. The mag chuck won't grip rough work until it has been milled flat and straight, and it's difficult to hold and support the blade securely enough over its full length at an angle. jsw

When I had access to a quality surface grinder, I used it to sharpen the D2 blades from my 6" jointer. It worked great but I still had to hone them by hand afterwards.

I've also tried it on carbon-steel plane irons. It's very difficult to keep them from burning because they're probably tempered at around 350 deg. F at the factory.
