Sharpen carving and turning tools, chisels, drill bits, plane irons and more with the speed and efficiency of abrasive belts—patented angle setter adapts to many edge profiles.
This single-speed, electric sharpening system uses abrasive belts to sharpen woodworking, woodturning and carving hand tools as well as knives, gardening tools and more. Its patented angle setter pivots and locks a tool platform to nine different repeatable angles, to satisfy a wide range of edge geometries. Sorby also offers many jigs and holders as accessories for ProEdge that adapt it for sharpening and honing specific tools and edge profiles.
