Proedge Sharpening System with woodworking kit

The Robert Sorby ProEdge tool sharpening system offers effortlessly repeatable sharpening every time.

Sharpens bench, framing, carving and turning chisels, drill bits, plane irons, knifes and garden tools.

The ProEdge comes with a 120 grit Aluminium Oxide Belt

The Woodworkers kit contains the following:

• Woodworkers Square Guide – Used in conjunction with the very fine abrasive sharpening belts, the Woodworkers Square Guide will give a perfect cutting edge on any woodworking chisel and plane blade
• Aluminium Oxide Belt 240 grit (x1)
• Trizact Belt 600 grit (x1)
• Trizact Belt 1200 grit (x1)
• Trizact Belt 3000 grit (x1)

Robert Sorby have selected these belts because they use an even cut rate and give a vastly prolonged belt life over standard abrasive belts. This produces knives and tools with consistent honed bevels and incredibly sharp cutting edges.

As with all abrasives, the belts should always be used in the order of grit from the coarsest to the finest. This is to maximise the efficiency of each belt and to achieve the best possible results.

Other genuine ProEdge sharpening belts are also available.

All the items included in this kit are also available to buy individually.
