Description of ๐Ÿ”ง Adaptable Replacement Sharpening Grinders Sanders

The Adjustable Replacement Tool Rest Sharpening Jig will allow you to locate all the basic sharpening positions with your bench grinder (grinder not included). The unique miter slide tool holder design allows the jig to be used more or less as a stone, which easily guides your blades, turning tools and chisels. Solid aluminum construction provides you with a smooth sliding, side to side action when sharpening. The sharpening jig works with most power or hand grinders that has or had a tool rest. It is the ideal replacement for the factory tool rest that comes with many bench grinders. The jig offers much more flexibility in terms of what you can get done than with the standard factory tool rest. The plate is offset for short chisels, such as Japanese or western butt chisels. The Sharpening jig can be used with 6" or 8" bench grinders and on many belt sanders/grinders. It quickly and easily mounts directly to the bench in front of the grinder with a track style base and can be readily folded out of the way for freehand grinding if so desired. It can also be completely removed by loosening the large wing knob and sliding the jig from the track base. Another great feature is that the jig can be adjusted forward and backward for just the right angle. Some aftermarket and expensive tool rests donโ€™t move and adjust in this fashion. This can be very limiting your ability to be accurate with your angles. The platform straddles wheels up to 1" wide. The Jig also now includes internal lock washer for even more stability!. The unique ratcheting handles lock the adjustable rest solidly in position and can be moved out of the way after locking to keep from accidentally bumping them. You can easily move the tool rest from one grinder wheel to another or quickly remove it from the bench when not needed for grinding. Some assembly required. The bench top wood mounting screws are included.

Absolute junk at Power & Hand Tools

The handpiece looks nice and is made from good bits of aluminum but the part that holds the blade of the chisel is actually pieces of metal bolted together at the top and bottom that can't do a chisel hold that I can reliably find. He can hold the plane iron better. It also won't work properly unless you're using a tool about 4 inches longer than the tool rest, since the hinge under the tool rest will hit the grinding wheel for any 3 or 4 inch long tool you want to grind on. 25ยฐ bevel. Theโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Impressive packaging
Cons
  • Drill

This is a must have upgrade for a chopper.

This particular model has been improved with the addition of internal lock washers. It actually snaps into place. Based on the negative reviews, I was concerned that the palm rest would slip under the weight of the chisel, but it doesn't. The manufacturer drew attention to the problem - and improved this model. Considering the tool holder slides over a square profile - at an angle it tends to slip out and requires manual adjustment as it tends to slip out of the channel. If it were a T-profileโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Heavy Duty
Cons
  • Damaged

High Quality Tool

This is a really well made tool. Please note that Peachtree have made an IMPROVED version with internal lock washers so it is now as strong as it gets. Also note that the best reviews are from 2018 and looked at an older version. I also have a Veritas grinder so here is a comparison. - The processing is about the same - higher and higher. Peachtree took a slightly different design approach, so note that it's customizable outside of the level. It's not a disadvantage, I really need it. The peach

Pros
  • Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Great Price
