Cycles on and off, heats a big space in little time. One big caveat: it's too loud to use in the bedroom at night.

There's a song on "World in Motion" called "Anything Can Happen". In terms of melody, it was giant step for Jackson. The instrumental arrangements for which he had, up to that point, been known to labor over, sound awkward and don't hold up over time. The "song", however, soars and flourishes, in

My son loved this book. My son has ADHD and it is torture for me to get him to sit still and read or do homework. I purchased this book on a whim and hoped he would at least look at it. My son is 8 1/2 and blew through this book in 3 weeks, I bought the second one and he read that one in less than a

With a bit of practice - sharpen better than ever!
9/13/2008
Ok, so the Work Sharp 3000 doesn't do everything but it DOES do everything I expected it to - and more. I wish I had the cash back for all the sharpening tools and accessories I've purchased. Alas, even with all the toys, I'm still a mediocre sharpener at best.
One of the best things I like about the Work Sharp is how quickly I can get a great edge. I no longer have to drag out tons of items and know I've got a long session ahead of me in order to sharpen a tool. I do not use turning tools so I cannot speak to that specialty but for chisels, plane irons and garden tools you can't beat the Work Sharp. I haven't encountered a situation where the limits of 20-25-30-35 degrees has become a problem. I suppose I'll resort to my old methods if and when that occurs. The discs change in seconds so it's easy to progress from 220 grit through honing. (I AM making my own PSA sandpapers with spray adhesive. Theirs are a bit pricey for me. - I bought 2 extra glass discs and the leather honing disc so I could have the entire progression ready and waiting.)
Now the cons: The freehand tool guide needs work. It's much too short. I'll have to make a jig eventually to accommodate the wider blades of some of my planes. The other 'con' is actually a lack-of-practice item. On the narrower chisels I have trouble getting the backs flat. No matter how I hold them, I end up with nothing resembling 'flat'. WARNING: do NOT use your good chisels when starting out. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I looked at the back of my best 1/4" chisel -- of course, the first one I tried to sharpen when I brought this tool home.
Overall the problems are few and fixable while the favorable aspects of using the Work Sharp 3000 are huge savings over many other similar products while getting a beautiful, sharp edge with very little time spent! Oh, and I almost forgot to mention one of the best features -- NO WATER!

Work Sharp WS3000 Sharpener

This item is great for the novice at sharpening tools. The circular motion can cause some issues with larger width blades but again for the novice its a lot better than not having a sharp tool. The see through sharpening wheel is really great. You watch your blade sharpen before your very eyes.

Quick but customer service is horrible
7/29/2008
I tend to agree with all the reviews here. The big thing for me is that it is so handy that I keep my tools sharper. In the past I would wait until they were so dull I could not use them any more. I would haul out all my sharpening equipment and go to town on all my tools at once. It does not get my tools quite as sharp but now I can take a plane blade or chisel and sharpen it in less than a minute. I still use my waterstones to get everything really sharp before a projec but now I keep my tools sharper during the project. Is it worth it? It is for me. I know others who are purists or just like to sharpen by hand. For them this tool is almost an abomination. I never could sharpen well and need guides etc. If I were as good as they were sharpening (and had the shop space to have a dedicated space for sharpening) I would not get this either.

Since this review I have had need of customer service. I still like the tool a lot but the company is horrible for customer service. Emails go unanswered (for a couple of weeks now). I guess I have to call for a simple answer. I tend to pay more to work with good organizations. I would never work with this one if I found anything like it. Tool is great, company is a nightmare.

Excellent product. Within a couple hours I had all my chisels trimming hair off my arm (not really, but you get the idea).

Work Sharp 3000
6/9/2008
Don't argue! Just get it. It measured 35db in noise. Regular conversation is 60db! Sharpening is a breeze now. My blades have NEVER been this sharp. I can't imagine why I didn't get this before. I saw a demonstration at a local woodworking show. The demonstrator was able to cut the hairs of his arm with MY chisel. Two days later, I bought one.
