Worksharp

#1

Post by kmealy »

I got a Worksharp 3000 for Christmas a few years ago. It is my sharpening system of choice now. Basically a motorized "Scary Sharp" (using sandpapers on glass). A year or so later, I visited Hartville Hardware during their trade show and saw the Worksharp knife and scissors sharpener. It works well, too. Then I got a used Drill Doctor at auction. So I guess I'm in knee deep. I don't do any turning and just a little carving, so the "flat and square" suits me just find.

I have both,the WorkSharp and Drill Doctor. Both give me excellent results in a minimum of time.I bought a series of diamond disc for the WorkSharp and it gives a super sharp edge to chisels and plane blades, they were after market accessories. Even made a leather strop disk to give a mirror finish. Also for quick touch ups I have an lapidary wheel and a stiff buffing wheel that takes the diamond sticks and rotates in the reverse direction. That set up does a fast touch up,not for taking out nicks tho.

I have been very pleased with my Worksharp 3000 and have yet to pull the trigger on the scissor/knife accessory. Based on kmealy's comments I'll take another look.
