| I've found my method |

| Well, I've tried all kinds of methods for sharpening my woodworking tools. I use hand tools exclusively in my shop and so I really, really need them sharp. I tried a bunch of different methods and I've found what works for me with the Work Sharp 3000. It took a while to figure out the best way to use it, but once I found my methods, it's a no-brainer to sharpen up just about everything I have. What has really changed the way I sharpen on the Work Sharp is getting the extension base for the top that allows you to sharpen wide blades. Because of that, I now almost never use the standard under base slot with heat sink. I mostly use this as a moving scary sharp system with the honing guide and free-hand sharpening on the top of the wheel. It works great. I have four wheels with every grade from 80-6000 and I've done everything from major re-grinding to mirror-smooth. If you use the Wide Blade Attachment like I do, remember you can also use the aluminum bed of the attachment as a heat sink as well. I'll cut some metal, press it against the aluminum, cut some more, etc... You have to find your own way, but I've already found mine. Make sure and get enough plates that switching grits is simple and quick. Make sure you place yours where it doesn't matter if it gets dirty because the iron filings will get out. (don't sharpen on your good workbench top unless you don't mind iron dust getting embedded into your workbench) I wrote a more extensive description of how I use it with hints and tips at my blog, the Incidental Woodworker. |

| It is so nice to work with razor sharp chisels. This machine is to good to be true. Well built, easy to use and man! what an edge it puts on your blades. Even sharpens my large slicks. Very nice and an excellent price for all that you get. Recommended. |

| This is the fastest sharpener I have ever used. I sharppened 15 chisels in four groups in less than 20 minutes. You can shave with these babies. I sharpened my 2 inch wide bar chisel so sharp I could literly plane paper. |
