Plate Glass Sharpening System-Fine

This system is inexpensive, quick and capable of producing very sharp edges on chisels. Take your time setting up the honing guide so that it holds the chisel square and at the proper angle then you can quickly produce a sharp edge that will pare end grain easily. Be sure to flatten the back of the chisel first. Great sharpening system, like most things in woodworking setup is key. If you have never worked with truly sharp chisels, you will be amazed how enjoyable it is when your tools work as they should.

What first drew my attention was a sale on the honing guide. My old Sears 1" chisel was in need of a new edge. I tried to resharpen it, with out success, holding the correct 25 degree angle for me was impossible! I just purchased set of three chisels and after reading a few reviews was disappointing to find out my new chisels were not sharp enough. I wanted to take the burrs off with out screwing up a nice new blade. The Plate Glass system was a great idea so I bought the kit. This is a fantastic way to put a keen edge on the tools. The old Sears Chisel was resurrected and I plan to buy hand plane in the near future and this will be valuable for blade maintenance. I'm very satisfied to have these well thought out new ideas come along.
