Have been looking for a machine to sharpen chisels for a while. Many options of slow rotating grinding wheels out there, but most are too expensive to justify. Sharpeing per hand to initially set up chisels on the other hand is VERY time consuming. The Work Sharp 3000 is in the perfect sweet spot between price, performance and efficiency and I am very happy with the results and sharpness of the chisels. Very easy to set the machine up, very good results and extremely fast and easy to re-sharpen a chisel once it has been base set up and ground.Three areas could be improved on:1) width of the front sharpening port; as it only allows for 2 inch width, one cannot sharpen plane blades that typically are wider than 2 inches;2) Very difficult to read the angle of the sharpening port, particularly if the machine is in use and there are shavings in the viewing window. Wish the numbers/angles would be better visible by coloring the raised numbers;3) previous models of this Sharpener had an accessory which was a platform one could snap onto the machine to use as a base to sharpen wider objects (see point 1). That is no longer availble for this version of the machine. That is a shame. One can build one, but then would have to modify some bolts and fasterners on the machine to put the platform in place. At time of writing (Aug 2024) this accessory is not availble.Other than that, a wonderful machine. Quick, easy and produces outstanding results and shart chisels. Absolutely recommend this product.
