long, long time. No planned obsoles-
cence here.
The side close-ups on this page show
how the lower tool rest angles are estab-
lished by a tooth and notch formed into
the metal housings
(red arrow). Note how
the tooth locks on both
sides of the notch for
a positive repeat each
time you select that
angle.
As we discussed
earlier, this one fea-
ture alone makes the
Work Sharp machine
stand head and
shoulders above all
the other machines I
have used in the
past.
Once the bevel is well
formed, all you need
to do for normal daily
resharpening is just
hold the tool firmly down on the tool
rest and push it up against the same
finest abrasive you used to sharpen
the tool in the first place. Hold for a
second or two and pull back for a
second or two. Repeat that motion a
few times. It could not be easier, faster
or more ac-
curate. As
a result you
will do it
every time
you pick up
a tool such
as a chisel.
Now you
will always
be working
with the
sharpest
possible
hand cutting
tools.
