Thanks Richard! Yes, I do use Google and am aware of the Sorby Pro Edge, Veritas MKII and the linked Sawmill Creek linked thread. However, I never ran across the mentioned power sharpeners/honers...

I purchased a Tormek T8 Custom specifically for sharpening wood carving tools. I have other machines and devices to take care of my other sharpening needs. Are there alternatives to the Tormek for...

I will never borrow a tool but will lend one to a friend in need. My logic is a true friend is more important to me than the cost of the tool. The same sort of applies to borrowing.

I'm only going into the piece about 3" from the rest. It's a small globe shaped hollow form. I don't recall if the cutting edge is above or below center but will check tomorrow. Is there a better...

I'm new to hollowing and haven't figured out how to eliminate the chatter while using the Sorby B851001 Hollowing Tool and others like it. Any suggestions? Also, at what angle should the business...

I recently picked up a Festool OF-2000E/1 router at an auction and can't figure out what the fuss is all about with the Festool brand, at least with respect to this tool. The other routers I have...

I really enjoy working in my shop making things but have to admit that I also enjoy, with almost equal satisfaction, working on my shop. It seems there's always an improvement to be made. My barn...

I just purchased a Tormek T8 Custom and fitted it with 10" CBN and leather wheels. I already had a slow speed 10" grinder with 8" CBN wheels and a Oneway grinding system for sharpening woodturning...

I just realized having an Accu-Finish sharpener that was used to sharpen carbide machinist tools. A link below to the manufacturer will show what it looks like. It's a well built precision machine...

I have 80 and 180 grit CBNs on my Jet slow speed grinder and will be replacing the 80 grit with a 320 or 600 based on Ken Rizza's recommendation. Ed is correct, the 80 grit is very aggressive. I...

Payment sent. Thanks Richard!

If it's $200 for everything except the side scraper I'll take it. PM on the way.

Has the Sorby Pro Edge fallen out of favor to the crop of CBN grinders? It seems that way based on recent discounts for them by Rockler and others.

I just purchased and received a Jessem Mite-R-Excel with Micro Adjuster and found it quite a nice setup. It was pricey but perfectly fit my SawStop ICS without any adjustment. The only thing I had...

I have several tools, jigs, etc from Oak Ridge Enterprises LTD (Canada) that was purchases at auction. Some are still in original packaging. Anyone know about these? I haven't found anything...

Thanks Dave! I didn't think of the hollow grind that the Tormek would produce. I see now how that would be a problem even based on my very limited carving experience. I'll look at the alternatives...

I'm looking to add a new sharpening station now that I've embarked on woodcarving. The setup that I have now works well for my woodturning tools. However, since I will be woodcarving in another...

The Veritas Carver's Bench was delivered to me last week and I couldn't be more pleased. It now sits in the loft of my barn/shop ready to do some carving. I have a good start on the gouges needed...

The shop is around 2000 sq. ft. with about a 30 ft. high exposed ceiling at the peak. I would be happy to get the shop temp in the 50s or low 60s while it's below freezing outside. I'm in the high...
