Happy with the system and you can not beat the price. Have had only one problem and that is that my smallest chisel does not fit very well but I just did it with out the guide and it work great.

I studied the Workshop 3000 and the "Scary Sharp" method for a long time. When Rockler had this kit on sale, I took the plunge. After 3-4 tries, I got the chisel back and bevel shiny. after another 6-8 tries, I was able to get an edge sharp enough to square off dadoes in Baltic Birch plywood with minimal compression, it easily shaved off fibers left by the router with no effort. Free-hand sharpening! amazing! never thought I would have this level of skill. (I still need the blade holder when sharpening < 1/2" chisels). It helps to have a small spray bottle of distilled water handy.

I have a need to sharpen wood chisels. This was made easy by this sharpening system Determining the angle of each chisel to be sharpened is not easy. If the instructions had a firm number to measure for each degree of chisel angle to set the holding tool would be very helpful. Sticking the high quality sandpaper to glass is pure genius.
However there is a small problem with my tool that holds the chisel at angle. When I finally figured out my chisels did not use the provided examples, things got off to a good start. But after some time stroking a blade I noticed the sharpened area was not square to the tip of the chisel. The device is holding the chisel at a very slight out of square angle to the surface. It is a tolerance problem. Reversing the chisel tends to balance out the problem. But it does not fix the problem.

I've been able to get very good results using this set. I ordered the fine set because I can get the coarser grits of silicon carbide paper at the local hardware store. My first project was bringing an old Stanley low angle block plane back to life, and I have to say I'm really pleased.
My only complaint about the set is the honing guide. It works great for plane irons, but the bevel for the chisel guide assumes your chisels are tapered almost all the way to the sole. My chisels rock back and forth when I set them in the guide, so I have to sharpen them freehand.
I appreciate the opportunity to get into the sharpening game at a reasonable price!!

This is a great system for the money. I spent a small fortune on other items to sharpen my tools but was not happy with the results. This set up finally helped me get my tools in working order for less than half of what the other stuff cost me. Well worth the price.

Been using this sharpening system for some time. At first I had mixed impressions, but now when combined with a basic leather strop I can get a mirror finish, and scary sharp chisels. There maybe better methods out there, but for the bang for the buck you can’t go wrong.
