Treat yourself to a Tormek machine


OK for rough grinding, but they won't sharpen a chisel and their price
is ridiculous. If you really want a powered wet cylinder, look at the
much cheaper Record machines

If, when using a Tormek, you cannot get a chisel sharp enough to shave
with, then it is you that is doing something wrong.

The same really applies to any method of sharpening (or to any machine).
The difference is in the time taken and the skill required to achieve
the required sharpness.

Where the Tormek is very good is in the range of jigs available. These
jigs allow a wide range of blades to be sharpened with great accuracy
(particularly planer/thicknesser blades).
