Powered by a quiet running 125W motor, this horizontal waterstone grinder represents excellent value for money. Unlike vertical grinders, the sharpening surface on this grinder is flat which eliminates the problem of concave bevels caused by the curve of a vertical sharpening wheel. This style of grinder also offers a larger grinding surface ideal for the accurate grinding of planer knives and other larger blades. The design of the grinder allows the sharpening surface to wear more evenly meaning the stone requires flattening and overall maintenance less frequently. Built to our own specifications, this grinder features a premium quality 7" diameter Japanese waterstone wheel. Waterstones are preferable for sharpening as they produce a finely honed, razor sharp edge, unlike grinders with coarser, harder wheels. This grinder has a top mounted water trough with adjustable water flow control to ensure the wheel is kept wet throughout the sharpening process. A foam rubber guard surrounds the wheel and prevents water splashing over the work bench and the dirty water is drained away from the stone into an easy to remove rear trough, making this the cleanest water cooled system we have ever used. Rotating at a speed of 350rpm, the 1000 grit wheel hones the blade to a fine, sharp edge without the risk of damage to the blade through over heating. The 7 1/2" long tool rest can be angled precisely so any angle of bevel can be placed flat on the sharpening stone. A replacement 1000 grit stone is available as well as a coarser 400 grit stone for initial sharpening.

Name: Barry Aust. Rating: 4/5
Simple to order and excellent fast delivery. Easy to do small amount of assembly. Good value for money but little to compare it with. Instruction booklet a disappointment. Badly translated and very little on how best to use the grinder. Possibly some errors. Response to email request for help was of very little value. Quite pleased with sharpening results but would have like guidance on sharpening carving gouges as I do not know if I am using it in the best way.
