Good budget sharpening system

This system is pretty good for the money, so far I've been able to sharpen all my tools. and the square tube that makes up the adjustable rod is very thin. When the cam was first locked, a dent remained on the bar. So be careful not to overtighten when adjusting. Then loosen the set screws holding the cam lock to the latch arms for the first two uses. I got tired of using the updated plastic guide bushings they sent in the package but they never worked properly, every time I engaged the bar the plastic bushing moved and the bar got stuck when unlocking. seems like a good idea, but not the best execution. An adjustable table with a sliding device is somewhat lacking, it's difficult to get the table to not move when tightened, and the sliding block is a pain. It is easier to use the table alone. Overall the kit is decent but I think I'd get a one way Wolverine system if you can afford it. It will get you started and will take a while, but it's a bit frustrating at times.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Minor issues
