I smiled when you said you were a "crazy perfectionist... I have slight problem, shall we say". It's Christmas day and I'm watching the entire sharpening series in preference to spending time with my family - but then the wife did say "go and do something you want to do". So we both might have a "slight problem". Cheers.

If you look carefully the Triton angle setting jig also lets you set the wheel diameter, it is the second scale above the first.

It's so odd seeing the tool used that way around :D I have only ever worked the machine from the side with the power button, therefore, the blade away from myself. Sure, that way you can't really see what's going on, but I didn't have a choice. The school's machines were bolted to the table. And we also veeery rarely used the guide, we had to learn to keep the angle by hand.. -T

Interesting series Ben. I have a Torkmek, also water stones, diamond stones, every conceivable honing guide, etc., etc., all part of my (and a million other woodworkers') quest for the perfect sharpening system! As you say, they all have different advantages and disadvantages, but my most recent discovery, the WorkSharp WS3000 is the best all rounder that I have found. May be worth a video at some point

+BobMcPike I had read so many raves about the Worksharp, and then got one. It was a disaster. Even with all the appropriate adjustments, added terrible skew the chisel edge. I ended up returning it. The build quality seemed pretty good so I'm hesitant to think I got a lemon, but I ruined two good chisels. Think I might be able to salvage one, but the other is toast. I had really hoped it would be the best all rounder for me.

riskmandel1 Hi. Sorry to hear you had such a bad experience with the Work Sharp. I suspect this is a salutary lesson of all of us - any such tool is only as good as its manufacture and setup. My own experience has been very good, but perhaps I was lucky

@@ozrenbalic6051 Dry. Always automatically the correct angle. Quick. The slope system is better than measuring protrusion and setting angles. Most of the time less than a minute followed by a quick strop. Half the price. No extras necessary. There is no going back.

Sorry but it looks like you are measuring the angle on the wrong spot. Unless it is meant (by the manufacturer) to measure close to the jig you should measure the angle on the flat side of the chisel barely touching the stone. At least, so is the right way to measure with the Tormek VM-200.

Your results were similar to my experiences. While I do like these types of machines, however I feel they try to do to much from the one stone and a honing wheel, so the results are so so. I feel it will give better results with a range of dedicated stones. Check out Pavol Sandor channel for microscopic investigation of the different stones available for these machines.

I find wetstones a pain in the arse - by the end of it everything and everywhere is soaked. lus they grind a concave curve into the chisel that makes them less precise and more fragile in use.

Really enjoyed the video, its helped me to decided on a sharpening system, as I have none at the moment and just getting into turning, trying to work out what is best to invest in. would you rate this over the record power version (would love a tormek, but out of my budget) or would you say a bench grinder and jig is the way forward?

So Western chisels used to have the thing that is now considered cool about Japanese chisels, i.e. extra-hard steel laminated to softer-but-tough steel, but they stopped making them like that while Japan continued? Are the Japanese toolmakers just plain better at doing it, or is it not such a useful feature after all?
