Essential Sharpening Stations for Every Lathe Owner!
In this video, I dive deep into my two sharpening stations, including a detailed walkthrough of my stations, CBN wheels, and various jigs.
Apologies if I've missed anything or left out details.
Follow along for more!
Cheers,
Kez
Kezza! - this video couldn't have come at a better time. I've stopped woodturning now, cause i cant sharpen my tooling properly, and I've been looking into the Tormek "or similar" wet-stone systems. Your explanation of the jigs has significantly reduced my anxiety in doing this... Much Appreciated.
Happy to help mate. I'm really glad you got something out of it.
Cheers mate.

Excellent article. Enjoyed that. Going to do some research on whether the CBN technology helps do some of that honing for you. Absolutely see the need for honing those 60 and 80 grit wheels. I actually have a station for my scrapers and skews with a 600 grit wheel. That has worked out pretty well for me. Love all the different viewpoints and discussions on aspects of our craft. I don’t think it’s possible to run out of things to learn. Not in my lifetime. Funny story about one of the students. Shelly working on small shallow bowl and I was on the other side of the shop helping another one. Back to her and listening to her cut I said Shelly that was a perfect pass. She was amazed and doesn’t yet realize feel and sound are also important senses to be aware of
Good info Kerry. I wish the companies you mentioned would sell their equipment in complete sets instead of individual pieces. Also, the brands you use are the most pricey IMO and beginners will be hard pressed to afford them-I know I was. I love woodturning but it’s an expensive hobby. Cheers!
Thanks mate. Totally agree it’s expensive. Thanks for the feedback mate👌

Kez
Awesome as usual. I’m a big fan of the one way sharpening system , easy to set up and use.
Thanks mate, I have heard good things about that system. I'm a big believer that if the wheel ain't broken don't fix it🤙
Thanks for watching.
Cheers,
Kez
Nice one Kez, good info …. as usual 👍😁
Thanks for the feedback mate👌 cheers
You are awesome brother!
Thank you brother🤝
Awesome job big guy. To many turners don’t understand how much easier they can make it on their self by keeping tools sharp. Don’t exactly know where I stand on the honing flute to take burr off. Huge debate that haven’t been able to distinguish that much different. Probably grit dependent. My CBN wheels are 180 and 350. May just be smaller is less distinguishable. Cheers big guy. Rod
Thanks so much for the feedback, Rod. I hear what you're saying about the flute honing. I don't use hones a great deal, only with the scraper and the coring unit.
I found a very interesting article I think you would enjoy-a little light read about what they found with the effects of honing made to turning tools and they used microscopes to examine each edge
I'll attach it here for you, mate.

Great vid, very informative. When I first started turning, on a gumtree find used old lathe, I had no sharpening system for the first 6 months or so. Boy did it make a difference the first time I sharpened a tool lol
That's a cool story. I bet there was some smoke coming off your tools. This is one of the main reasons I wanted to make this video. Cheers, Hailey.

Great video. And you aren't kidding. This craft c
an actually become a Black Hole. When I got into it. I had no idea. Lol
For a sharpening system I use the Pro grind system. Its like the Wolverine system. But its less expensive. And it comes with everything needed to sharpen your tools. Whereas the Wolverine system you have to get some of the items seperately. But I only use it for my bowl gouges. Everything else I grind by hand and eye.
It really is like diving into a black hole, isn't it? 😅 The Pro grind system sounds like a solid choice. I've always believed in finding the best tools that work for you and your budget. Grinding by hand and eye for everything else shows real skill development for sure!
Cheers mate,

Hi Kerry, Nice videos your putting out, I enjoy them and appreciate the good information your giving.
I have a question; What CBN wheel grits are you using?
Thank you got the support 🤝 the one on the left is 180 grit and 360 on the right
That credit-card hone 14:45 puts sharp steel too close to soft flesh. I made a small paddle of 1/4-inch plywood and glued my coarse and fine cards to opposite sides with contact cement. Easier to handle than the card alone.
Sounds like a great option. Thanks for sharing mate. Really appreciate it.
