![]() The power of this device is awesome but a little too much for those fine cutting gardening tool edges.As a knife and scissor sharpener, this baby really excelled. This is the way Verlane sharpened hers.She would use a 1/2 disk cut from leather and bevel both edges, and attach it to one of the dremel shafts. The sharpened tool was super sharp (even in the flat spot), but I would not recommend it for pruners, loppers or any precision tool where two blades come together to cause a cutting action (I’d save that for the diamond tapered rods or ceramics noted above). It was also hard to reach into the tight spaces where the two blades came together.Additionally, it did not put the “factory” sharpened angle back on the blade but rather ground its own angle. ![]() I suggest that polishing and packing up after using each time. Strop by pulling the tool towards you on a fixed angle. 1\If the edge beveler is only a little blunt, we usually give it a fast polish, like the video told. Rub some polishing compound on your leather strop and a few drops of oil on the edge of your leather strop. ![]() When sharpening bypass pruning shears and loppers the recommended sharpening grit was too aggressive and left a flat spot in the blade (even though I kept the belt moving down the blade at a continuous rate).
