I saw this system demonstrated and, although somewhat time consuming and tedious, it works great.

I broke my previous glass(from Rockler). I don't have time or energy to go out and a flat piece of something for sharpening so I bought another. The 1st one was great but it has a weakness when it hits the concrete floor.

I have nice wood chisels that I would like to keep in top shape. Ordered this system to guide my hand in the sharpening process
Gary K on Nov 19, 2016
Switching to all non-power tools for woodwork. Restoring old planes for this. Needed to organise my sharpening. Like to do it by hand. This puts the entire system into one unit which works well and can be easily stored when not in use.

Margaret C on Feb 12, 2018
It says it comes with honing guide but when you put it in cart it says often bought together and shows honing guide. If it comes with one why would I need to buy another? Are they different?
Dayna on Oct 5, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The system did come with a honing guide.
Can you sharpen curved chisels with this system and how?
Rich Q on May 25, 2017
BEST ANSWER: I suppose so Rich, although I have never tried. I think I will give it try. Sorry I couldnt be more help.
do I use this wet or dry?
renamworks on Jan 19, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Either way. I use Windex as a honing liquid with this, but water works too. Just remember to let your film dry before storing it.
Has anyone tried sharpening barber clipper blades with this system?
George G on Oct 8, 2017
how thick is the glass and is it tempered ?
Ralph M on Sep 20, 2017

Holly H on Mar 17, 2016
BEST ANSWER: The honing guide will open up to just over 3 inches wide , about 3 1/16 inches.

Good Sharpening System
I'm very happy with this system. It's the first I've purchased for my woodworking tools since I am a relative newcomer to the hobby. I was able to sharpen my chisels and the two planes that I currently own. A sharp tool makes all the difference in the world.

Great part time woodworker Starter sharpening system
I thought it was as represented did a good job on flattening my old chisels as well as a new set I recently purchased.
I did have to make adjustments to the honing guide by filing
the sides. I believe as a starter sharpening kit it is worth the money for a part time woodworker however if a fulltime woodworker invest in a diamond plate system.

This system makes chisels so sharp that I use them more!
This system is the least expensive way to get a very sharp edge.l am sanding wet and it works great. It does take some time and if you are using chisels constantly this system may not be for you, For me it is a very good way and very economical for a one person shop.

Able to restore some old wood chisels and plane blades to razor sharp edges. This is an excellent product.

Great Inexpensive Sharpening System
This is a replacement for the one I had that was destroyed in a fire. This system is ideal for someone who wants razor edge plane irons and chisels and who is not a daily woodworker. It does a great job getting tools razor sharp but is slower than sharpening machines so would not be the best choice for a production shop.

great for sharpening plane irons
works well but you can accomplish the same thing (and cheaper) using standard wet sandpaper and double-stick tape
