Oneway Wolverine Sharpening System
Maintaining the Wolverine Sharpening System
Additional Comments On Apr 07, 2019:I tried another sharpening system made by Nova but it just didn't help me in sharpening all of my turning tools as it was lacking in performance and was a joke setting up. The Wolverine system, used with my Rikon 8 inch Slow Speed Grinder, the Raptor set up tools and the diamond point wheel dresser by One Way, is every thing I need to successfully produce perfect cutting edges on my turning tools. And a noticeable improvement in my turning projects.

Comments On Apr 29, 2016:On my first trip to craft supplies when I asked how to keep my tools sharp, I was shown this system which I then purchased. I would be lost with out it as it is the simplest and most user friendly one I have ever used.

Comments On Apr 24, 2016:I had a Tormek T-4, a very expensive system especially after adding the jigs. It took far too long to sharpen my tools and forget about grinding a new edge, it takes forever. The Wolverine is easy to set up and when combined with a low speed grinder like the Rikon also sold by Craft Supplies, it's unbeatable. For just over half of what my Tormek setup cost with the equivalent jigs - skew and varigrind - I get perfectly sharpened tools FAST! My only complaint is that it doesn't come with the screws for the baseplates, but those were cheap enough to buy when I bought the nuts & bolts for mounting it to a stand. I'm very impressed with the Wolverine system and wish I would have gotten from the start instead of wasting so much time on the Tormek.

Comments On Dec 12, 2015:As everyone already knows this is a great product. However, if you plan on using the Rikon slow speed eight inch grinder like Woodcraft sales, be warned the lower parts of the grinder wheel guards will not allow the flat plate mount to come all the way to close the gap between the wheel and plate. I just took a hacksaw and cut them to clear. Just keep this in mind.

Comments On Apr 23, 2015:Set up took all of 15 minutes. Precise, accurate, polished grinds each and every time.
Use to be nervous when sharpening gouges, now I can sharpen like a pro. Good job!

Comments On Jan 05, 2015:The components are top quality and the system is well designed. They include a DVD showing how to use the system, there are videos that show how to sharpen each type of tool. You will need to mount your bench grinder to a piece of plywood so you can align the channels with your grinder. (Accessing the mounting holes on my grinder required a universal adapter for my socket wrench).

Comments On Dec 29, 2014:After taking my time to set it up on the grinder which required a base etc. I was able to sharpen my tools easily and with precision. It takes a while to set-up plus a trip to the hardware store for the proper screws and lag bolts, but it was all worth it!

Comments On Sep 12, 2012:Great addition to my shop. I've always had some difficulty repeating angle on skews and finger nail gouges. This system takes all of the mystery out of sharpening. I would like to see something for the micro tools – so far I haven’t found a repeatable way of doing tools with short shafts.
