Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

All of their products are designed and manufactured in their ashland facility. You have a problem, they take care of you! It's an american company based in oregon.

Work sharp ws3000 wood tool sharpener. Comes with a great selection of sandpaper grades to get my tools razor sharp. The way the machine sets a consistent angle when sharpening is the highlight of the tool. This is the sharpness you see in youtube vid... Read More

All you need is a chisel and a sharpening port. Slide the chisel forward in the slot created on the sharpeningport by the fence. Then pull it back about one inch so that it can be off the abrasive for another couple of seconds.

Cons

Clearly there has been a packaging problem at the factory. Sadly i have to return it.

The only redeeming feature is the flat chisel sharpening port. The slotted disk (you sharpen our tool by holding your tool on the underside of the disk) is awkward to use and, think about it, you're using sandpaper to sharpen a high carbon tool.

Garbage, feels incredibly gimmicky. Pretty much junk know. From the way it is built you can tell, it is a piece of garbage.

This product was well packaged and came with all the accesories to use out of the box

Item arrived in box that would have been on the shelf in a 34big box34 store ie no extra packing

Advertised as 34used like new34ivery poorly packaged in the original box i was warned that the packaging might be damaged

Competitiveness

After comparing whats available the worksharp 3000 was the best bang for the buck

A wonderful value for the money compared to all the other overpriced tools out there

The one downside is that worksharp no longer sells the platform that allows you to use honing guides but i made one from a scra... Read More
