I,ve been using Steve sharpening system for about 5 or 6 weeks and all i can say is Wow...I wasn,t sure how accurate it would be, but it,s right on the money every time i use it and so easy to use, even for a old hillbilly like me...It sure is nice to be able to take a graver in the rough and have it ready to use in just a few mins..I highly recommend this sharpener to new engravers as well as the old timers..

I'd like to second that. I've been sharpening various edge tools all my professional life and although Steve's system takes a novel approach to the matter, the system works extremely well.
The thought and designing that went into the production of this kit is commendable too; there's even a polyethylene board to place the whole kit on to reduce wear and to ensure the templates run smoothly. There's also a spare thumb screw should you ever require it. The quality of all the components is second to none. The whole kit packs flat into a zip-lock bag and is a heck of a lot more convenient and transportable than any power hone. Was that OK Steve?... ...joke! Just a satisfied customer. |

It is an amazing tool. I would recommend this as a first purchase for any new engraver.
The first tool I sharpened with this system actually improved my engraving right away. I would not have believed it would make that much difference until seeing it myself. It make touch ups so much quicker that I am not tempted to keep cutting when the tool need attention. This also results in better work. "Lindsay Engraving tools and fixtures...

From a beginners point of view I have to say it works great too, it's very easy to use.

The Lindsay sharpening system is the simplest, most elegant way yet devised to sharpen a graver that works properly every time-
and you can quote me . . . .

I managed to resharpen my one and only Lindsay point, and build a flat from scratch using the jigs. I'm very impressed, these tools are so simple to use and a complete necessity for me where I am with no space and little available tooling. I have all I need with the PC and the sharpening templates and the good advice from this site. I learned how to make the flat from a thread here and it worked the first time.
