Wood Turning Tools Sharpened

At the Sharpening Shack, we professionally sharpen all types of wood turning tools. For the beginning woodturner and unfortunately for many long time users of a wood turning lathe, sharpening is a necessary evil. Sharp tools make for great shavings creating better surfaces on your work, less sanding, and more fun. Turning wood with a dull tool is hard work and leaves a lot of work that requires lots and lots of sanding.

At the Sharpening Shack we use slow wet-grinding Tormek machines and hi-quality wet stones to sharpen most wood turning tools. We do not ever dry-grind on grinders as this does not lead to the desired edge quality. Dry grinding also tends to produce high-heat caused by dry grinding and can damage the steels temper.

Here's a list of some of the types of wood turning tools we sharpen:

• Roughing Gouge
• Gouge
• Oval Skew
• Skew
• Square Nose Scraper
• Round Nose Scraper
• Spindle Gouge

We match the current angles of your tools as best as possible. We can also reshape the edge to a new desired angle if needed.

We recommend sharpening your wood turning tools when you notice rough surfaces on your work and chips of wood instead of nice clean shavings. Once sharpened your tool can be honed 2 or 3 times before hitting it with a diamond stone or re-sharpening.

Pricing: Most wood turning tools can be sharpened for $6 unless you have large nicks and then we charge according to the cutting width of the tool.
