READ THIS CLARIFICATION: Don't use a ruler beneath the back of a chisel, only a plane iron. In the video I show it used on a chisel as a way to polish the end without flattening the whole back. I do this with chisels that are going to be used for chopping and trimming, holding the chisel at an angle to the surface of the wood. (Most power tool woodworkers only use their chisels for these simple tasks.) But a chisel sharpened that way can not be used for paring with the back flat on a surface, a technique used by more hand-tool savvy woodworkers. I point this out in the video, but I should have made that more clear so people aren't confused. And frankly, many woodworkers only have one set of chisels, so they have to pare and chop with the same ones. So flatten the entire back (at least an inch from the end) by placing it on top of the disc. Do not raise the back by placing a ruler beneath it, creating a back bevel as shown in the video. HOWEVER, you SHOULD use this ruler trick with plane irons. It will save you lots of time and will work perfectly fine.

too bad you got hurt recently, glad it wasn't worse and your alive. Maybe you could use your time not being able to work to make some review/comparisons? For instance, you use the worksharp and the tormek (and maybe others). Would be nice to see a comparison with pros and cons there. Which one would you recommend to someone who wants to get into buying one of them?

Still love my WS3000, even after I purchased a wet grinding system. I use it more often, because of its quick accuracy on chisels and plane blades. Thanks for the tips, already figured out the alignment of the chisel port. Soft pressure is the key to getting a good square edge. From one Stumpy to another, thanks!

Great video as always. There’s always something new to learn from you. The advantage of the Worksharp is that you don’t have to measure and clamp for projection, which is not easily repeatable.(Actually impossible, so I end up with multiple bevels, unless I work through the grits every time). You just stuff the blade in for a 2 second hone at the same angle every time. I am a great fan. You deal with the niggles.

I know my message is coming long after you made this video, but I need to thank you for your tips on the correct usage of the Worksharp 3000. I attempted to sharpen a blade for a Stanley 5 1/2 plane I picked up at an antique store. I did exactly what you said NOT to do (holding the blade so that the width of the blade was across the radius of the sandpaper rather than point towards the center) and the outcome was EXACTLY as you described (which caused me great anguish and annoyance). After watching your video, I sharpened the blade using your tips and the bevel of the blade has been restored, is perfectly sharp, and ready to use. Again, I know this praise is VERY late in coming, but thank you for your tips and advice.

James, I purchased some diamond lapping discs on Ebay that I mounted to 1/2" MDF discs using spray adhesive. They work great and were not that expensive. I bought 2 of each grit to mount on both sides of the MDF.

@DMM-cv5fh 5 жыл бұрын

A great tip on using a sharpie to mark which grit is on the disk. I was so excited to get sharpening that I neglected to do that, and now I forgot which grit is which. You might say, ‘well they are colored differently.’ Yes, but certain grits are virtually identical and even hard to tell by running your finger across the grits. This is of course talking about the Worksharp discs.

I made the jump to CBN grinding wheels to do the lions share of my sharpening. I got a CBN hone card and also got a diamond hone for carbide sharpening. The CBN wheels are steel and never need to be dressed, Cutter grinders have used CBN whels all day long for over a dozen years and they still cut like they did on day one. I have even removed the guards from my grinder as there is no need to worry about a wheel shattering or chipping ever. My clean up consists of a magnet to pick up the steel dust it leaves behind. The wheels are 100 grit for rough work and 180 grit for finer grinding with the hone at 300 grit on one side and 600 grit on the other which makes short work for touching a edge up. Costs more initially but saves money in the lng run. The wheels are 8" diameter and a full 1 1/2 wide.

Dear Sirs, I purchased the Worksharp 3000 extension table to aid/assist in wider blades eg Record No.8 jointer and Stanley No.5 1/2. However, I learnt a valuable lesson that their instruction pamphlet DOESN’T tell. Be aware about the different speeds that it was very quick in taking off way and above what I was expecting (being a novice) and subsequently through the ‘squareness’ completely off. It took ages to correct the hash-up! I don’t in anyway blame ‘Worksharp’ it was my own stupidity, but, it would be prudent to either warn or tell people what to look for. Beginning to save up for a Tormek, I don’t think there’s the same chance of knocking off the square edge. Brilliant videos as always. Yours truly, ross

Stumpy, I picked up a tip from George V at WWGOA for using a Deadman which makes doing the back of any blade a lot less of a PITA. No longer do I get the ugly ridges on the upper part of my chisels and plane blade. Plus, by having the Deadman and leaving the 800 on the bottom I can do a quick touch up without having to turn on the WS ... it's always on ... just hit it with my foot. ... Nice vid!

I'm really glad I stumbled upon this video you made. In addition to my various chisel honing jigs and stones, and my Tormek sharpening system with its various jigs and stone wheels, I am considering the purchase of the WS3000 when I want something that is faster than the traditional sharpening system many of us "learn" on and frequently use, but does not require as much time to set up as my Tormek, albeit the Tormek definitely sharpens quite a few more types of tools that the WS3000 was not designed to do. Anyway, I learned quite a bit from this video on what to expect/not expect from this system. And while the WS3000 could be said to be a little expensive, it is definitely much cheaper to purchase than the Tormek system that might require the purchase of a variety of stone wheel grits as opposed to sandpaper in order to accomplish what the WS3000 knocks out in minutes with it's relatively inexpensive costs and quick setup. TY for this demo and suggestions using this system.

Great video, I actually purchased the WS3000 due to your videos. Quick question: Did you prep the leather disk to accept the Tormec paste? I tried doing the same thing with AutoSol but it just flinged around and dried too fast for my liking. Couple things I noticed off your video that I do differently: 1. Chisel port: I keep my blades (both chisel and plane) to the right of the adjustment bar... there is no play due to the right edge being fixed. 2. Burr removing sandpaper (400 grit): The WS company actually has a finer grit (1500) patch that is sold with their Fine Abrasives Kit, or alone in a pack of 6. (400 = blue, 1500 = gray) 3. Grit Markings on the wheels: I write the grits near the center where the finger bolt is. Couple reasons: disk is never dedicated to any certain grit... and its easier to read than permanent marker on glass (especially when fitted) 4. Starting on the face: I tried tilting into the disk while it's running like you do and ended up with a grove where I contacted it on the edge of the disk. I ended up setting up a foot peddle activated ext. box, placing the blade on the disk then stepping on the peddle to activate.. no more grooves :) 5. Removing the self adhesive paper: Put the glass plate in the freezer for 30 minutes then just peel of the disk you want to change, leaves no residue and won't effect the other disk. Wait for it to return to room temp and dry off condensation if any before applying new disk.

I understand that you were explaining how to use the tool and therefore it took a lot longer than it would have if you were sharpening a chisel for yourself, but it seems like a lot of work. Personally, I use the Paul Sellers 3 grit diamond plate and strop method and it seems to work very satisfactorily. No changing discs or using a jig and instantly ready for use. I must add that I use cheaper plates than Paul (about $10 ea) so they won’t last as long but still, I get a great result. Horses for courses I guess.

Stumpy described it as Black Emery=800, Brown Tripoli=4000, White Diamond=2000, and Red Rouge=8000. From the packaging of the set of compounds I got, it suggests that the Whited Diamond is finer than Brown Tripoli, so I think it is the Brown Tripoli that is 2000 grit. Am I missing something?

Am I missing something on these compounds? I spoke to the guys who make those polishing compounds to double check what I was thinking. They confirmed that their compounds should be applied to a rotary tool spinning between 2,500 - 3,500 rpm so the compounds can melt 'consistently' and evenly for their intended purpose. My Worksharp tops out at 580 rpm. A buffing wheel and a drill press with large buffing attachment can reach these speeds. A rotary tool like a Dremel can handle very small sharpening like a pocket plane blade. If I'm wrong, which I hope I am for the sake of space, I'd love to know. Thank you, SN!
