Review: versatile tool for sharpening woohworking tools - Used it to sharpen plan irons and chisels with the jig included with the machine. It is fast, precise, simple and did an outstanding job. No jig provided for sharpening knives, so I had to order one. It did a good job sharpening knives. it was not as easy sharpening knives as sharpening plane irons because you had to keep the blade parallel to the cutting edge of the stone which took some practice and required developing the skill. The result was a very sharp knife but the knife edge did not look pretty or uniform. All in all this is an amazing machine and worth buying.
Review: but it's a great tool. It does a remarkable job at sharpening ... - It is expensive, but it's a great tool. It does a remarkable job at sharpening kitchen knives--and they stay sharp. No more hiding the one good sharp knife (laboriously sharpened with a stone) that I need, and then my wife finds it and begins to use it and somehow dulls it. All the knives that I sharpened are still sharp! I have sharpened a few chisels, but no plane blades yet. Flattening the back of a chisel is easily done on the side of the wheel. I knew that I could change the apparent grit on the wheel from 220 to about 1000 by using the abrader block that comes with the tool, but I had not realized that I could use the honing wheel to polish the entire bevel to a fine finish. (Use the included angle setup tool on the smaller honing wheel to accomplish this step.) I think I prefer to use a fine water or diamond stone to remove the wire edge after the other sharpening steps are done. I have used the honing wheel for this purpose, as suggested by the manual, but it is a bit difficult to get the back of the chisel exactly tangential to the honing wheel at the contact point. I inadvertently put a small reverse bevel on the back of a few chisels before I realized my mistake. They would still shave, however. A diamond wheel truing tool is included. This permits the user to true the surface of the wheel to be exactly parallel to the bar that supports all the jigs that are used with the Tormek system. If you are willing to spend the money, it is a cleverly designed system which can sharpen a variety of tools.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this be used to sharpen lawn mower blades? Also, what jig would I need to buy to be able to do so?**
A: No, this is not the tool for lawnmower blades. I use my 2x72 belt grinder for this and I can sharpen a blade in a couple minutes!

**Q: How often we need to change new stone? We run commercial kitchen!**
A: The stone is 10" in diameter when new. When it reaches 7.5" in diameter it needs to be replaced. It takes a long time to get there, but it obviously depends on how and how much you use it, how often you true it, and whether you use it to shape your edge tools or just to sharpen and touch them up. Not one of our thousands of customers has ever complained about having to change the stone too often.

**Q: can I sharpen hair clipper blades with this**
A: If the blade is removable,  there should be no problem

**Q: Could I purchase them from amazon and ship all of them to Taiwan?**
A: I don't know of any prohibition to doing that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top quality wet wheel sharpener!
*by I***S on August 20, 2025*

Amazing sharpener, wish I had gotten it sooner. It's allot faster then the wicked edge and has the ability to get allot better angles. It would be nice to have variable speed in some cases and a finer adjustment on the water trough
