1 out of 5 stars Not worth it   February 13, 2009

Do not waste your money on this product. The sharpening stone is extremely warped, and spending the time to flatten the stone would take days. The gauge is terribly cheap, and it is very difficult to keep your iron or chisel square.
There are better gauges out there for similar cost.

If you need a decent way to sharpen your $10 set of chisels and your $15 block plane, this is the kit for you. It's not real elegant, but so what. Do you really need perfectly square tips to clean up notches you made with a circular saw? This thing is good enough for your utility chisels and block planes(both of which work a lot better sharp, you will see). If you need something better than this you probably know it. If you just like having quality gear get a veritas.

I consider this a total waste of money for the very simple reason that it is imposible to clamp a chisel or plane blade squarely. There is no straight edge to register the edge of the blade on. Also, the wheels are remarkably cheap plastic. I am going to buy one of the standerd "vise" style guides.


3 out of 5 stars Easy to use but quality is iffy   March 21, 2008

I bought this mostly for the honing guide since I already have diamond sharpening stones. The honing guide works well but the quality is not there. It does work but your have to hold it carefully.
Just for kicks, I took a look at the stone and mine was totally flat so I didn't need to flatten the stone at all. I haven't used it yet but that was surprising since most cheap stones don't come completely flat.



5 out of 5 stars good place to buy   December 26, 2007

original shipping envelope allowed stone to be broken in shipment. Amazon immediately replaced item (no charge) only with my notification by e-mail. I am very happy with sharpener and with buying from Amazon.
