Adjustable Stainless Steel Planers for Effective Honing and Sharpening Review

I use it to sharpen chisels and flats. The product is heavy and serves its purpose. I wish the thread faces were a little cleaner as they are prone to seizing. I also wish the grip grooves had a different geometry - there are some tools that take longer to get a consistent fit.

This is just a terrible tool. I waited a while, used it a few times and tried to give it a fair shot. But: it is poorly made and sloppily assembled. It is difficult to clamp the chisel; The suggested settings (numbers for the side loft) are incorrect. After clamping the bit, the two sides remain misaligned. The steering wheel is not centered! It's impossible to keep the chisel flat on the stone - it swings left and right. I will buy better. I suggest you do the same.

I tried sharpening a couple of chisels and it worked great with the 1 1/2" and 1" chisels I have , but not very well on 1/2" and 1/4". The top clamp is good and strong, but if your chisel won't fit in the top clamp you will need to use the bottom clamp. The bottom clamp has a funny shape and actually pushes the chisel out when tightened. If not tightened enough, the chisel will still slip out. The material is of poor quality and a better clamp is needed for smaller chisels. Wouldn't recommend…
