Tools and Hardware Reviews of General Tools 809 Chisel/Plane Blade Sharpener
Customer Review: Better than nothing if your not too fussy.
Summary: 3 Stars
I picked this unit up locally yesterday because the options were next to nothing. My immediate need was based on the fact that I had 2 locksets waiting to be installed an my old chisels were in bad shape. I compared this purchase to the cost of some new chisels and that selection was also nothing to speak of so I decided to try to rehab my current tools. Now, mind you, I can be quite fussy when need be. But, I had previously sharpened these chisels with my belt sander. Real precicion there. Let me say that within 30 min. I had the 2 worst chisels back straight, square and sharp to the point I didn't think they would get to ever again.I was very pleased. Easy to set up and very easy to use. But, here's the down side. It's not a precision tool. I will get you a very sharp straight edge with somewhere near a required 30* bevel but not necessarily 100% so tool to tool. Also, you'll be hard pressed to create that extra 1* micro-bevel I've read about elsewhere due to the macro-graduated guidelines. Also, my older chisels are a bit thicker through their shanks and the holder barely accomodated them. Another 1/16" thicker and I would not have been able to use it. Newer chisels are more consistent throughout their length so I would guess that would not be a real issue.It seems sturdy enough but I would not think it's great for heavy duty/very regular use. I guess that would sum it up. It's the perfect occasional jig for the not-so-fussy carpenter. It works, quite well, just with not so much precicion. I may very well return it and spend the $35.00 for the Veritas. That piece is probably the best value for it's excellent overall quality. You get what you pay for with this one.
