TY! I'm a single Mom who loves being able to fix things around the house on my own! I have always wondered that attachment was for! Now I can sharpen all my yard-working tools! Your presentation was visually awesome and easy to understand. : )

Thank you so much for the informative, easy instructions! Finally, I can sharpen my garden tools! Cheers!

Thanks! I have been meaning to look up this tool but have so many things I'm always looking up. Anyway, by your demo, I see I should easily be able to get a good, sharp edge on a couple of tools of mine that came to me dull. My Fiskars Machette Saw being one and my Big pizza rocking alleged knife. Haha. I knew there must be a way but never found time to look this up so my Dremel stuff that came in the blue toolbox has gone unused until now. You're a hero and an educator. Thanks! God bless you.

Wanted you to know the Dremal method worked prefect on my Loper Pruners, sharpened four pair I was going to throw away . I had this dremal attachment and didn't know what it was for, utube videos are a awesome help . Thanks again for you time and effort for giving this old man a helping hand and saving my doomed Loper Pruners .

On tools that are beveled on both sides (such as cold chisels, masonry chisels, axes, knives and so on) it is VERY important that the same number of passes must be taken on each side. This keeps the sharp edge (where the two bevels meet) centered on the blade.

Use a file to even up the surface. It will reduce wear on sharpening wheel

Very informative video helped me tremendously thank you

[MrMurdock]

Awesome video you've convinced me to buy this

You should always link the specific accesories you use and demonstrate in your videos... That simple addition in your description is helpful for viewers... Thanks.

I have used this every season and it works great

You need to file/grind the edge even, before using the jig, without the large chips missing, so you do no waste time, with the tool, with the tool, as in your video, dropping down into the gap left by the missing chip thus, keeping the blade from being it's best.


In the long run, you'll be saving your grinding stones some wear, especially if you use on a tool that you want to run a "fine, finer, finest" progression on, such as a good machete/chopper.

It will also likely save you time, a quick touch with a file or other tool, beforehand, when it comes to the prepping a straight mower blade, and if you do no chip the blades again, time after that.

Thanks for the video.

So that's how you use it. Thanks!

This was very helpful. If you're not a shop teacher you might want to consider it... whenever.

Great video. I had to change the chuck that came with my Dremel as it was too big and caused the cutting stone to rub against the guide.

[tencentchef]

I love that you shared your knowledge. I wish I could have seen what you were doing exactly: which attachment to use, how to put it on, what angle to put the blade in. In addition to the only angle you used, it would have been informative to also show the Dremel moving towards the camera since you stated there would be many passes over the blade. 🙂

Great review! As you say PPE (personal protective equipment) is required, such as googles, ear plugs, gloves etc.
