Morticing Chisel Sharpening - HSS or Abrasive?
I'm looking for a Morticer bit sharpener and it seems they fall into two catergories,
HSS cutters (like carbatec- Mortise Chisel Sharpening Kit : CARBA-TEC )or Abrasive impregnated grinders (like this Diamond Cone Mortice Chisel Sharpener - Morticer Accessories - Drills & Morticers - Wood Working | Axminster Tools & Machinery)
.
Any preferences or not much in it?

I use the diamond cones and find them good but I think it is more important to get the outside of the chisel finely honed.
I use water stones for that. You need to get them honed initially then just touch up every now and again.

I think the bigger issue/problem is trying to sharpen the auger... well for me it is.

Lee Valley also have a pair of cones (scroll down):
Square Hole Punches - Lee Valley Tools
I'd bet pounds to pence that the Carbatec offering is Chinese HSS, and therein would lie the problem. Apparently the Chinese have interpreted HSS to mean Highly Suspicious Shight. I wouldn't go near them (at any price).

You wouldn't think that the English language was so difficult would you? Especially when it comes to describing steel.
