Description of 🔪 Precision Grind Sharpening System - Ideal for Lathe Turning Tools, Chisels, Skews, Gouges & More! Includes Multi-Grind Jig, Slotted Platform, and Tool Rest

Sharpen chisels, gouges, bowl gouges, spindle gouges, carving tools, wood turning scrapers, parting tools, block plane irons and more with the PRO GRIND Sharpening System! With 3 primary methods of sharpening, you’ll be able to precisely hone each tool to your exacting specifications regardless of the tool you are sharpening. The PRO GRIND Sharpening System includes a vast collection of unique setup tools, jigs and accessories that most sharpening systems force you to purchase separately. The included and versatile Multi-Grind Jig will correctly shape the edge on bowl gouges, side grinds (aka Ellsworth grind, Liam O’Neil grind/Irish grind) or fingernail grinds for spindle work and detailing. Not only will it correctly shape your tools, you will also be able to repeat the process to produce consistent results every time. The Multi-Grind Jig is designed to be used with the included Multi-Grind arm on the PRO GRIND Sharpening System and will accept tools up to 1.125” in diameter. The PRO GRIND Tool Rest Bar attachment offers you the best possible way to achieve a precise edge to your bevels without taking of too much material off of your tool. After all, we need our tools to last a long time, so why would you want to take off to much at a time? The Tool Rest Bar is ideal for sharpening curved, even bevel edges that are typically used on spindle and roughing gouges. The large, 3” x 5” slotted platform is the ideal way to sharpen flat edged tools like wood turning skews, chisels and hand plane irons. The platform has a slot milled horizontally through it so it can accept the included tool holder. The tool holder is designed to keep your tools at the correct angle while being able to slide side to side during the sharpening process. The PRO GRIND Sharpening System also comes with a number of setup jigs and accessories to help in the setup process to sharpen your tools to the proper and repeatable angles. From the built-in projection gauge on the Multi-Grind arm to the Magnetic Micro Bevel setup block you’ll be able to achieve consistent repeatable angles and produce excellent results each and every time you use the PRO GRIND Sharpening Jig system.

Great complete system!

I'm quite handy I think. So any mention of the stand being overtightened seemed like an easy fix as this set was more affordable and complete than some of the others. I'm glad to see that they are currently releasing more details and added a page to resolve this issue and I didn't have to mess with it. It was easy to install and use, and it turned out great!

Pros
  • sea of positive emotions
Cons
  • repair

Surprising and disappointing

I've been a carpenter for 25 years now, I'm pretty good with tools. . My bowl has never been so sharp. The platform method which should be pretty easy doesn't work at all, I could never get the platform to stay in place. Even when I tightened the handle very hard, the slightest pressure on the platform moved.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Weight

really good and inexpensive sharpening system

Professional sharpening system that is worth the money. The fittings are high quality, made of comfortable metal, very nicely finished and all the details fit together perfectly. It comes with almost everything you need to sharpen most lathes or chisels. I really like the Multi-Bevel setting and it produces perfect bevels consistently. I had to use a 2x6 to set up my 8" bench grinder for the gap, but it worked great. The platform accessory comes with updated assembly instructions and 4 star…

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Expensive

Works great just what I needed

I tossed and turned between this system and the Wolverine attachment but finally won the prize. I got this complete system for less than it would have cost me to get comparable Wolverine system items. After watching the video, I made money very quickly. As someone who has primarily used carbide, I was very pleased to get more value out of my HSS tools. I was able to set up good bevels/sands and lightly touch up the edges along the way. I think the only "issue" I had are the extra guide blocks…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • There are new competitors

All you need are lathe parts and accessories

I bought this system a few years ago. I wasn't good at keeping my tools sharp and/or learning how to properly sharpen them. I bought several diamond sharpeners but ended up going with CBN wheels with a grinding system - something I should have done a long time ago! This system comes with a DVD showing the basics of using the system. I've watched it several times as I'm weak to improve my knowledge. This worked great for me and you can easily follow the instructions for consistency. I use…

Pros
  • All right!
Cons
  • Only available in black

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

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Minor issues

For everything that is included it is superb!

I chose this system over the Wolverine system because of the cost and the accessories that come with it. My concern was that the Wolverine base unit was expensive and then I couldn't sharpen a specific tool without ordering additional accessories. This system comes with EVERYTHING to sharpen ALL of my woodturning tools, chisels and planes. Additionally, parts that you think should be plastic are actually beautifully machined aluminum. This system is not without difficulties. The rail locking…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Fits

Very well built, can sharpen various tools

I bought this to sharpen my wood turning tools. well constructed and the finish was well above average, especially for bespoke items these days. It was packaged perfectly, although it wasn't in the outer box it arrived in perfect condition. It requires quite a bit of assembly work and there are holes to measure and drill to install the components, but I'm sure anyone who buys an item like this will have no problems. The feature that drew me to this unit compared to others on the market was that

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine

Works pretty well. on lathe parts and accessories

I bought this system instead of Wolverine etc because it seemed to include ALL the materials. Other systems appear to have many extra parts, some of which were necessary in addition to sharpening the basic lathe tools. Of course addons are good for things like a mount for a special knife, an ax or something similar. But an expensive turning tool system would be expected to handle ALL turning tools within reasonable limits. This system has 3 main uses. First, use a small tool stand, with or…

  • Free for educational purposes
