On my birthday this year, I received something I really need in the shop. I needed a way to sharpen my tools that was effective and easy. While I got a JET Slow speed sharpener. I got the master woodworker set which included jigs for sharpening just about every tool in the shop. It does, knives gouges, turning tools, chisels, plane blades, axes and scissors. The only thing I have found so far that I have to go back to sharpen on a flat stone, is to sharpen the flat side of a chisel to plane blade. The wheel turns slow and is covered in water so, there is no chance of burning the tool blade. Since it is slow speed, it does take some time to re grind and edge, but touch ups go pretty fast. There is a gauge that comes with the tool to help set the correct angles on tool sharpening.
This very helpful in getting correct angles on the tools as I sharpen. I have seen some reviews where the the major complain was how strong or steady the jigs holding bar is while sharpening. I have had no problems with this. It seems to be very steady and works fine for me. My wife got this at woodcraft. So far I am very happy with the sharpener. It comes with a dvd which shows in detail how to use the jigs and set up the tool. Since it shows you instead of telling you, it is a great aid in setting up and using the sharpener. Please feel free to ask any questions.
