Summary: excellant buy
Comment: I have a friend who is a carpenter. He had a bunch of dull chisels and I offered to sharpen them for him. when I was done he told me " these are better then when they were bought ". I use it for keeping a sharp edge on the chisels that I use in making my Diamond Willow walking sticks and lamps.

Summary: Great investment - so says my husband
Comment: My husband saw the ad for this sharpener in a wood-working magazine, checked them out on their website and decided he had to have it. It has so far definitely lived up to the hype. We have a lawn maintenance business and he does a lot of lawn mower blade sharpening. Years ago he used a bench grinder to sharpen the blades until a friend recommended an angle grinder which he found much easier. He says this little machine beats them both by far. It's much easier to get a perfectly flat angled sharp edge with no curls or burs at the end to remove. He says you can get a sharp edge without removing as much material which means the blades will last longer. It's also much quieter and safer. Don't know yet how long the abrasive discs will last but it comes with replacements and extra replacement discs are quite reasonably priced.Work Sharp WSSA0002174 WS2000 Edge-Vision Abrasive KitWork Sharp WSSA0002005 Coarse Abrasive KitWork Sharp WSSA0002043 Fine Abrasive Kit All in all a very good deal.

Summary: Makes dull tools sharp
Comment: I've sharpened a variety of chisels on the worksharp with no hassles and good results. Flat blades go in the guide with a solid abrasive disk, while curved blades are done using the "see-through" slotted disk. Either way is straight forward and surprisingly quick. Compared to the old bench grinder or flat stone techniques this is a walk in the park. Unless you work directly under strong overhead light, I found that a bright head-lamp makes it easier to see when using the slotted disk to sharpen curved chisels. The initial sharpness is good enough for most wood turning projects, but to get a hair-shaving edge you have to follow up with regular honing methods.

Summary: Some problems
Comment: The device is rather convenient for sharpening the chisel-like tools. However, if you try to sharpen a mere knife, you'll discover that it is almost impossible. To be precise, one side is sharpened fine, but sharpening another side is a challenge.
Also, I failed to find the required 150 mm abrasive disks in hardware stores in my area (Mass.) The 6" disks I found don't have a central hole (not a big deal, of course) and are 2 mm wider. This is OK for the top side, however, to be used on the bottom side, the edge must be trimmed.
Summing up, to sharpen chisels and likes, the tool is fine. But it cannot substitute a classical grinder if you don't have one. Also, you are stuck with proprietor abrasive disks, especially for slotted ones.
