Pro Grind Sharpening System for 8 Inch Grinders to Sharpen Lathe Turning Tools, Chisels, Skews, Bowl Spindle Gouges • Includes Setup Blocks and Quad Jig for 8 inch Grinders

This is a great sharpening system. I have used it to reset the edges on my turning tools and now get consistent grinds each time. It also takes me seconds to touch up the edge of my current tool so I find I sharpen more frequently because of how easy and fast it is to do, which of course gives me a very clean cut and better performance. I used the low speed, Bucktools 8 inch grinder, though I had to raise it an inch off the bench to accommodate the sharpening system.

Wish I had used this system years ago! It allows me to sharpen my lathe tools consistently and in a much shorter time than it used to. Really really good!

Comes with everything you need to get setup sharpening all your gouges and skews. Able to also sharpen regular chisels as well and does all these things very well. All instructions were included and well written. Overall excellent product so far with no flaws.

Good product

I purchased this to sharpen my wood lathe tools. I am a retired machinist so I am very familiar with what it takes to fabricate things. The entire unit is extremely well constructed, and the workmanship was way above average especially for custom made items these days. It was packaged perfectly, even though it was not in an exterior box it arrived in perfect condition. There is quite a bit of assembly required, and it does require measuring and drilling holes to mount the components, but I am sure that anyone who is going to purchase such an item will have no problems at all. The feature that sold me on this unit versus others on the market was the fact that this can be set up to sharpen any of the tools that I have, gouges, skew, scraper, parting tool, etc. There is no additional components needed to sharpen any of these, and additionally my wood chisels as well. If I had to find any sort of feature that could use improvement it would be the angles that the Pro Grind is set up to achieve. The documentation does not specify the angle, just a type of tool. I would like to see something for example "set to position #1 for 55 degrees, Position #2 for 40 degrees" etc. This way I could grind the tool to what I chose. Other than that, I can not find fault with anything in this system. I mounted mine on a 14"x18"x3/4" piece of plywood, and had to attach a smaller piece of plywood for the grinder to sit on to raise it to the proper height. The base is large enough for me to drill holes to store the various setup gages and places for the various fixture pieces, as well as a small dish of water in case I need to do some aggressive grinding and need to keep the tool cool. All in all, I am very pleased with this addition to my shop equipment. Based on other systems I looked at, the Pro Grind is not only very cost effective, but will sharpen a wider variety of tools. Recommend highly.
