This little brother to the famous WS3000 features a fixed tool port that grinds and hones your chisels and irons to a precise 25° angle every time. Air-cooled port prevents the tool from overheating, and the completely dry system eliminates the mess of water and oil. Sharpens edges up to 1-5/8" wide in the port, and as large as you want on the top of the wheel. Tool rest allows you to easily sharpen axes and other large tools. Includes two double-sided Edge-Vision slotted wheels, which allow you to see the cutting edge while you sharpen. This feature is perfect for tools with curved edges, like carving knives and gouges. Also makes a great low speed multi-purpose shop grinder. Uses common 150mm adhesive-backed abrasives in multiple grits. 1750 RPM wheel speed. 2 year warranty. 12 lbs. WS2000 Abrasive Kit includes a P80 solid disc, P80 slotted discs (2) and P220 slotted discs (4).
- Dry sharpening system means no need for oil and water, and no mess.
- Routed airflow and heat sink system keeps tools cool so the temper will be unaffected.
- Sharpening port lapping surface features “plunge-pull” sharpening technique.
- Sharpening port abrasive increases burr removal and speeds sharpening.
- Adjustable top tool rest makes freehand sharpening easier and more precise.
- With bench mounting tabs for easy installation to benchtop.

I just dabble a bit in wood working and had dulled my chisels. I had tried sharpening them on a stone and found out what a long job it was to do a good job. This sharpener had them like new in just a few minutes. Great for a serious wood worker or someone working only occasionally in wood. The instructional video was very helpful in seeing just how to use this tool.

I have had this god-send of a machine for almost 2 years now and for someone like me who does a LOT of wood turning this beats the heck out of stones, hones, and stropes for making my lathe tools ready for the next job (HAHA). A job that used to take me a couple of hours to complete now takes about half-an-hour to finish and that includes set-up and clean-up. Anything that gets me on the lathe and turning faster is top notch in my book. Also if you don't like the set angle just do as I have done with mine, and cut some 5 inch or so blocks out of scrap 2x4 and then cut them to the angle you want (or need) then boom you have another handy angle jig at your disposal. To make this easier I built a "table top" over the top of my WS2000 with a hole the size of the WS2000 top in it and flush to the top so i have a "bench" to place my angle blocks on and now I can grind to any angle I want with ease. All in all a GREAT buy for the buck. I would recommend anyone who spends any time sharpening their tools to make the purchase.

I was sharpening tools in just a few hours after receiving the 2000. I was pleased with the instructional DVD as well as the extra sanding pads. I recommend it.

I bought this to use as a personal tool onboard a ship I work on. Space is at a premium, and I don't have a permanent workbench to mount a grinder. This unit looked perfect, but I was apprehensive. I ordered the WS2000 instead of the WS3000 because couldn't justify the price difference and I wasn't sure it would satisfy my needs. I use it to sharpen chisels and gouges for my midi lathe, and it is a wonderful machine. I have used it to sharpen every knife on the ship. It is quick and easy to use, takes up very little space, is light enough to move around with ease, and does not require a permanent mount. It is exactly what I needed.

Exactly as advertised. Easy to use first time out. I now have sharp chisels with the proper angles for the first time in years. Very good buy for the money.

The system is great for sharpening chisels. I have also used the top for sharpening other things around the shop!
