- Check out my blog at www.Polthaus.com for additional information on sharpening, handtools and woodworking.
This is the first in a set of three videos concentrating on electrically powered sharpening methods. This video is an overview, review and instructional tutorial centered on the Worksharp 3000, an electronic sharpening tool produced by the Worksharp company. As a side note, I am not affiliated with this company in any way.
I hope you find this video useful, and as always, thanks for watching!
thanks , think i'll continue sharpening by hand
Thanks for the video. Can you sharpen knives and scissors with this system as well?
Can you do clipper blades on this ???
Must not be making content anymore (
I was pleased with the overview of the tool. It covered everything very well. Thank you very much.
If this system works for you, Great. But it doesn’t seem faster or as good as a stone. I spent over $2,000.00 on Swiss & German carving tools, so I’m not risking my tools. I need a polished edge for pushing tools. I’m not confident using this system on a cheap pocket knife, but thanks for a well done video! I was very curious about this system, & you were very informative, thanks, & good luck!
I've been debating between the Worksharp 3000 and the Tormex T8 for a while now. The fact that the worksharp requires quenching to cool the steel is only one reason a choose the Tormex. Another disadvantage of the worksharp is the space it will take up in my small shop; the storage and constant changing on grits and jigs just seems like to much. Top this all off with my lack of organization and i'd for sure make a mess with papers and jigs laying all over the place not to mention the quench oil I would for sure knock over. Anyway, to each there own; i'm sure this system does a great job, it's just not for me.
I looked for at least an hour and finally found this video showing how to freehand sharpen a lathe gouge without the expensive bracket. Thank you for posting this with such good explanations and demos. I liked the idea of coloring the gouge as a check for completion.
Best system ever, repeatable, fast, quiet, no water, no extra jigs to measure protrusion or dress a wheel. Excellent price. I love mine
Use a magnet to remove filings. I’ve never needed to quench due to over heating
Nice review, thanks for sharing it. I'm liking the looks of this machine a lot. I have a couple other WorkSharp products that have worked well for me.
Nice overview! i shall subscribe.
Thanks so much this sharpening video helps me make my final decision. Well done.

great video, very informative! answered all my questions...now to get one!
Just found your channel. Thank you so much. Very comprehensive. I had been considering the Tormek system, but that, like all Festool products, comes with an outrageous cost. This seems to be quite reasonable and I like how easy it is to sharpen my lathe tools. Kind regards. Craig
This was helpful, thanks!
I have a 3000 and I keep my finger on the tool so that I know when it gets hot. When it got hot, I measured the temp of the steel with a laser temp gauge and it was 110 degrees. For steel to turn blue and lose it temper, it must reach over 400 degrees. I love my 3000. A motor takes the labor out of the task just as a table saw takes the labor out of using a hand saw. I'm selling my Tormek, my glass stones and my Jjapanese stones.
Thanks kid. I'm a real klutz when it comes to sharpening my hand tools. Your review is great and helped me so much with my worksharp 3000.
Excellent video...you did a great job of introducing the tool, explaining the pros and cons...and I liked the humorous text comments. Thanks much...
Nice vid, thanks. I just bought one of these (partially based on your review), and I find it easier to lap the back with the unit OFF. Just use the wheel as a flat surface with it not spinning. It's slower, but I don't feel I risk rounding over the edge nearly as much. Try it!
Great video, I do have a 3000 and will now be able to use it much more efficiently.... Cheers....

Hi I do a lot of engraving on my musical instruments. Would you recommend the Worksharp 3000 for gravers? Gravers are rather small and have a few different angles that other cutting tools. They might take a little different fixture to get them sharp. Maybe some much finer sanding disks to. Regular power sharpeners for gravers are very expensive! and have special angled heads for gravers. Thanks for your advise in advance.
With some practice I think the worksharp would work for your needs. With some 3M adhesive spray you could attach any grit of sandpaper you want to the glass platen. The only issues I foresee are that it would be nice to have an adjustable speed on the unit to work on very small tools, additionally, as you've pointed out you'll likely need some custom jigs. You might want to check into a variable speed belt grinder as well (probably with a 1" or 2" width belt). They tend to be a bit more money but that might be another good option for sharpening gravers. They also make belt grinder attachments for bench grinders which are nice.
GR8 review. I have the WS 2000 model and have just recently bought the WS 3000. Thanks for the tip on the Goo Gone. I didn't know it would melt plastic if not completely cleaned off.
Awesome review, I am glad that you did such a thorough review. This is really helpful as I am looking around for systems that will help me keep my hand planes, marking knife and chisels sharp. Im debating on this or a Tormek or perhaps even the Grizzly version of the wet sharpening system. Liked, favorited, placed in playlist and subscribed!
another word for simple/simplicity - is elegant/elegance
