pariah223 Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I did a search on the forum to see if anyone had brought this tool up and found nothing. I found it on sale at a local hardware store yesterday and took a plunge and picked one up. For those of you who havnt heard of it... here it is http://www.worksharptools.com/product.asp?specific=137 . I have struggled with tool sharpening since i got into guitar building. I just couldnt get anything to work good except scary sharp, and that took so long and was such a hassle that i just used dull tools and dealt with it. Well i bought this thing yesterday and i have sharpened all my chisels and planes sharper than i have ever had them before. Took little effort and little time. If anyone is struggling with tool sharpening.. or is looking for a quick way to keep tools sharp (talking 30 seconds to re-hone an edge)... and has 200 dollars to drop in something... i highly recommend this tool. I am so impressed with it i had to tell someone, so you guys are the victims! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anderekel Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 oh yeah, I saw one of those, or something like it, in the woodcraft magazine I got, looks cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ihocky2 Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 I've looked at them and they look like cool machines. But really a hand touch up is all that should be needed on edge tools unless you are chipping the edge. All I ever need to do is run for like 1200 to 2000 grit paper and I have a razor edge again in a few minutes. Once the edge is set there is no need to run all the way through the grits again, it is just polishing up what is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenspoke Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I dont think sharpening gets a whole lot of press here for he simple reason there are so many ways to sharpen a tool now a days. I have seen the 3000 and it looks like a fine tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
