Work Sharp Review

Work Sharp, The Wood Tool Sharpener, is made by the same company that manufactures the Drill Doctor. This all-in-one sharpening system is promoted as an air-cooled woodworking tool sharpening system that grinds, sharpens and hones without cumbersome jigs - but is that how it really functions?  Ralph Bagnall used the Work Sharp in his shop and shares his results in this September 2007 article from Woodcraft Magazine.

Ralph puts the Work Sharp, The Wood Tool Sharpener from Professional Tool Manufacturing, through it's paces. Does it consistently grind, sharpen and hone as advertised? Find out what Ralph thinks in this article published in Woodcraft Magazine, September 2007.
