Diamond sharpening has not been a mystery to me, but just not something I have ventured into ... probably because I was a bit unsure of what to do and what I could expect. Well ... that all changed when I received this Side by Side Diamond sharpening system from M Power Tools, it changed everything - sharpening for me.
I have know the "mechanics" of proper blade sharpening for decades, but I don't use hand planes and chisels all that often and do look after them so they don't get dull very often, and to be honest, the process I had been using was SO TEDIOUS, I would oftne put off sharpening intil a number of pieces needed sharpening then do them all at the same timee ... but that has changed ...

Safely using a table saw is one of the cornerstones of woodworking, but for some who want to be woodworkers, this tool can be super scary to use, but they are not the only people who can be intimidated by these loud, dusty and powerful machines and that is why we can embrace options like Auto Cut, the a table saw wood feeder mechanism.
But ... there is much more to this newly developed machine in terms of uses, it may not fit everyone's needs but it will be a welcome addition to many woodworking shops ...
