Sharpen The Worst Bench Chisel Imaginable in Less Than 1 Minute!

I used mine yesterday, and sharpened about 15 chisels in maybe 15 minutes. Some were damaged to begin with. I was skeptical using such low grit sandpaper, but I gotta say every chisel came out really sharp and ready to use. Maybe not 8000 grit waterstone sharp as some of the trolls here point out, but my wood couldn't tell the difference. Tip: you'll need to rinse off some of the metal shavings after a few chisels as the sand paper loads up. It comes right out. I may try lapping fluid next time so the shavings don't accumulate.

Is there an alternative to buy in Europe😢😢

It looks like a really nice system.
I am curious about the choice of countries you are not shipping to as about 150 countries are excluded (the world has 190 or so). I am in France for example and appart from the UK, most (all?) other European countries are excluded from your shipping destinations. What stops you? Thanks.

looks so cool and I am really considering to buy it. I have a question - can you sharpen with this system the hand plane blade as well?

What determines if 25 or 30 degree ramp is used? Building the jig soon and have no idea which angle I should build for the ramp. I purchased a set of Narex chisels from you. Thank you!!!

where are the plans for the jig?

I've never seen one of those sharpness-measuring scales before. I know you said 81 is very sharp, but i'm wondering what an "average" or "decent" score would be?

Amazing! Going to order this but I wanted to ask a dumb question first, this would work with a hand plane blade, right?

Hice. What is the angle on your wood jig?

Where I can find this sanders ;link;

You have you a winner! I use chisels a lot in my shop. I can sharpen them relatively easy and fast. Your system sharpens in seconds my way takes about 15 minutes if the chisel is in bad shape and I am not sure it does as good a job as your method?

I've bought the system Any chance of you doing a video on making the jig. It seems straight forward from the instructions. But as they say a picture paints a thousand words. Thanks

What about for a plane

A friend, noted woodturner Eric Lofstrom, dulled his skew chisel on the lathe bed, took it to a 60 grit CBN wheel, reshaped the bevel, then stropped it. It peeled off arm hair in one pass. Stropping is essential. I still would take it to higher grit abrasives.

How is the secondary bevel created? When stropping?

Would I have any trouble using this system on a Bosch PBD 40? It's a relatively small drill press but it can run at the recommended speed.

Very nice! 81 on bess is SCREAMING sharp! It doesn't get sharper than that. If you take your chisel anywhere to get sharpened they they won't be able to do any better. Also, 99% of professional sharpeners will use a dry machine of some kind because water is a mess and they can't make money sharpening by hand.

So you sell the disks but not the jig which is giving you the correct angle on the sharpen? Or did I miss that on your site? Thanks!

Could be faster if you didn’t have to re-chuck the 2nd grit. Seems like a great excuse for a 2nd drill press 😂

The only thing more painful than watching you hammer the end of a nice chisel is my bad sharpening memories. I'm giving this kit a serious look, and look forward to easy sharpening.

Restoring damaged tools these are nice, but overkill for normal sharping.

Would you recommend this system for other edges like kitchen and pocket knives? I don’t own any shapening jigs or systems at the moment. My current go to is a variety of sand papers on my wife’s flattest cutting board, a stone or two, and a strop for most all my sharpening needs. Would this work for blades if I made a jig to accommodate the longer edges?

Should have dulled then try and cut the paper, then sharpen. That would have been a better test

Hey Mike - bought your system, need to still build the jig. Couple of things, did either James H. or JKM do a video featuring this as well? Not finding? Also, doe you make the secondary bevel on the strop portion?

Could you sharpen a 2'' hand plane with the 6'' disc?

Just assembling mine now, and it occurred to me to use the 1" hole in the as-yet unmounted leather stropping disk to mark a 1" hole on the backs of ALL the kit's Cubitron disks BEFORE they're used.

Fast. Easy. And, no, I'm no shill. I really just wanted my chisels sharp without a lot of fuss and muss. Chisel sharpening isn't really how I want to spend my weekend. This sharpened my Gersick, Narex, and some antique wood chisels in less time than it took to write this review. Mine ended up at about 26 degrees (my adjustment, not the system's). Doesn't matter whatsoever. This system works really well. To the purists out there... *shrug*, hey, it works.

Sold out. When will more kits be back in stock?

Is it possible to use this set without a drillpress? I cant come up with anything thatll work

👍👍👍

When will you have more it says sold out😢

Seems fast, but you might be drawing out the temper from the metal near the tip where the metal is the thinnest. Do your chisels stay sharp or do you find that you have to resharpen often?

Ooit gehoord van een wet steen ? Je bent een knoeiers .

Damn. I had this idea

Awesome 🙌👍👌😊

I own a worksharp and this looks much better, the worksharp is only good for the knife sharpening attachment.

Watching you hit that chisel with a hammer actually hurt my feelings a little

Could I sharpen my hand plane irons on this? And when do you think this will be back in stock?

As a cabinet make for 50 years I cringed when you hammered that chisel, do you torcher small animals also!

Sold out 😢

Holy moly I have no more excuse for dull chisels, which are all but the one I sharpened so I could use it! Oil stones are a chore!

Omg...that was painful to watch

You need a sharpness tester😅😅😅what!

Such a great idea.

This is great!

What I love is how all it takes is 80, 220, and stropping.

So why does the kit have so many different grits? How about just including more of those in the kit?

Officer! I've witnessed a crime!

How about for plane irons?

Nice set up. Any chance you can sell the jig too?

This is practically how I've been sharpening my chisels for a very long time.
Instead of the "Back and forth" so called traditional way that so many use. I go "side to side" and get fantastic results.

I found out the hard way on Christmas that a really sharp chisel gets real deep into your hand when you slip. Mistakes were definitely made.
