    Default Saber 4 piece wetstone sharpening jig Kit

    Ok, Hare and Forbes are having their big sale and I persuaded the missus that the Record Power WG250 would make a great Christmas present.
    Now I need some jigs to make up for the unsteady hands.

    I found what looks to be a bargain at Total Tools.

    Does anyone have any experience with these?
    Are they good enough or can they be fettled to work?

    thanks

    Or save your play money and get a Tormek T4 + Hand tool kit and not have worry about fettling the flaming jigs.

    Yes I have the T7, payed up and don't regret it. Gouges take 20 seconds from dull to sharp. Plane Blades, a minute to set up, a minute on the machine to re grind the edge, then to the stones. Bench chisels the same. I am a woodwrecker not a tool grinder

    No matter what you pick, be it freehand or something mechanical, there's a learning curve to master the technique.
    You can't buy an edge, you have to learn it. Do not be the least bit concerned if you don't get it right the first few times.
    It's only a chunk of steel.
    I've long since lost track of the number of failures.
    I have learning that continual practice does have its merits.
    Success is so sweet.
