Peachtree Woodworking SupplyPro Grind Sharpening System for 6 Inch Grinders to Sharpen Lathe Turning Tools, Chisels, Skews, Bowl Spindle Gouges •Includes Setup Blocks and Quad Jig for 6 inch Grinders

I read all the reviews. I like to start with the 1-star reviews and work my way up. I don't know if the manufacturer addressed all of the issues, but I didn't experience any of them. The material used is even heavier than I had hoped. The cams and arms slide smoothly and lock without issue. I really like all of the different setup jigs. They are made of plastic but they are heavy duty and I see no reason why they won't last a lifetime. They aren't used under pressure or with a spinning wheel. I can't see a reason why plastic isn't a great choice for these jigs. The brass tightening wheel is secure to the steel screw. I tried very hard (with only my hands) to break the two apart and could not. I'm very mechanically inclined and I found everything very easy to understand and install. Everything was packaged with professional care. Not a single scratch on any piece. The finish on the parts seems very durable. A few of the welds (for example on small nuts that allow for the thumb locks) seem a bit small. But there are four on each nut and they are all solid. They don't have to take a lot of pressure so I believe they will be more than ample. (I'm just one of those guys that thinks more weld is better than less. However on these smaller nuts, more weld would probably cause way more issues and like I said, I don't thing it is necessary.) I would not hesitate to recommend this product to anyone. I did see that some people ordered 8" when they really needed 6" grinder versions. But the manufacturer is very clear in their description and on the box which one you are ordering.May 22 Update - I've been using the jig for a couple of months now and I really like it. I get perfect grinds on my lathe chisels every time. Since my angles are always the same, sharpening takes very little time and removes very little metal. I sharpen before each project and run a project every-other-day. Very nice product!

This product works as advertised and is very well made. It makes sharpening tools a very easy task.

I never sharpened a tool before and I thought this would be straight forward. It needs better instructions. I can get a better grind free hand than I can with this system. If you are trying to get a arch for your bowl gaouge using this system will give you a straight cut at best. I found it removes the point and leaves the sides concave. I can fix it free hand but then why do I need the system?

I liked everything about it well made, instructions couldn't be easier to follow. And Mostly Razor Sharp Tools Consistently.

After setup, it was easy to use! Quickly sharpened all my tools!

Very difficult to setup. Directions are vague at best. The skew sharpening side is worthless because I can't get my skew close enough to touch the blade when attached to the miter platform. Also should be more clear that you need to have a grinder with a small base. My base extends under my grinding wheels. I've spent the last 4 hours trying to figure out how to mount this thing so that it works. Seems like I wasted $140+. Missed my return window, so now I have an expensive, ineffective paper weight.Also the directions show a Oneway gouge attachment with 5 settings but it came with a different one.I have other items purchased from Peachtree that have been trouble free. This is not one of them.

My husband buys many tools. I have never seen him as frustrated with new tools as he has been today. The directions for setting this up left out important details. I just hope it actually works now that it is mounted … after 4 tries and many hours of frustration.

Works well for sharpening my lathe tooling and wood chisels. The cam locks are a challenge to have everything stay where you want when locking into position.
