 Rating:  - Quick but customer service is horribleI tend to agree with all the reviews here. The big thing for me is that it is so handy that I keep my tools sharper. In the past I would wait until they were so dull I could not use them any more. I would haul out all my sharpening equipment and go to town on all my tools at once. It does not get my tools quite as sharp but now I can take a plane blade or chisel and sharpen it in less than a minute. I still use my waterstones to get everything really sharp before a projec but now I keep my tools ... Read More Rating: - jo4hn's work sharpExcellent product. Within a couple hours I had all my chisels trimming hair off my arm (not really, but you get the idea). Rating: - Work Sharp 3000Don't argue! Just get it. It measured 35db in noise. Regular conversation is 60db! Sharpening is a breeze now. My blades have NEVER been this sharp. I can't imagine why I didn't get this before. I saw a demonstration at a local woodworking show.

I was often working with slightly dull tools to try to get the most out of the work done in sharpening. With the Work Sharp I now touch up tools during the work to keep them razor sharp. Especially with chisels, I keep the optional leather wheel in place and "strop" the edge often while working to keep it razor sharp. Periodically I resharpen all my tools now so they all stay ready to use. I think I can sharpen them all is about what it used ... Read More Rating:  - Great for chisels, not so good for plane ironsIf you need sharp chisels in a hurry, this device is for you. Just remember to buy the assortment pack of sand paper disks because those provided don't cover the gamut and they go quickly. For plane irons, this tool has some uses - but not for the bigger Lie Nielsen plane irons. For the standard size irons, this gizmo does short work of lapping and gets you a fairly decent edge. But wider irons (and chisels) won't fit into the carriage. You can still do the lapping on this, which ... Read More |
