Description:

The WSKTS-KO Tool Grinding Attachment is designed for home shop tool sharpening and grinding tasks. This two pulley Tool Grinding Attachment is designed with cast metal components to hold up to the rigors of grinding and sharpening tasks like axes and hatchets, mower blades, garden tools and most any tool with a blade. It also makes a handheld belt sander / power file for a wide range of grinding tasks in metal, wood or plastics. It installs quickly thanks to the tool-less design, so changing attachments is quick and easy. The spring tensioner with sealed bearing has a lock out feature that makes belt changes fast and easy without the need for tools – simply push and turn the tensioner to install a belt in seconds. This attachment provides a larger diameter drive pulley to achieve the optimal belt speed (4500 SFM) for a wide range of grinding tasks. On tool belt tracking ensures that you can keep your belt centered while working, without using tools or losing momentum. Attachment allows for both flat platen and slack belt grinding depending on the task at hand without any set up time or parts to adjust. Includes premium Norton extra coarse P60 grit Zirconia Alumina 3/4" x 12” engineered abrasive belts that are designed and intended for heavy stock removal and long life. This attachment also accepts the standard WSKTS-KO belt mix for more light duty grinding or polishing tasks where a finer surface finish or less material take off is desired. Not intended for industrial or commercial applications.

    I loved this attachment! Extremely useful tool. Great for things like mower blades, axes and spitting mauls. Also nice for putting an edge on farming discs. Unfortunately, when I loaned out my Ken Onion sharpener, the person I loaned it to, somehow lost this attachment. He said he'd buy me a knew one, but now I find out it's been discontinued! I searched high and low hoping to find one in stock somewhere to no avail.

    I know this wasn't designed for commercial use, but it was great for light use on a lot of tools. Maybe you didn't sell a lot of these, but maybe you didn't market it well enough. I'm sick about not having mine!!

    I'd ask you to consider at least a limited run of these. I really hate it when a good brand discontinues something that worked well. It made your sharpening system an all around great system. Maybe there was some flaw that I never saw, but if so, then make an improved version and get this back on the market!!

    The tool grinding attachment is by far the most used sharpening tool I own. I sharpen mower blades, axes, hoes, shovels, and just about everything. Quick edge on knife, no problem. I have two Ken onions and the new blade grinding attachment. I use the blade grinding attachment the most, followed by the standard knife sharpener. I even use it to remove burrs off of everything. The tool grinding version is almost always plugged in and ready to use on my bench and the belts are hanging within easy reach. I also have one of the original sharpeners in my kitchen and bought them for my sons.

    Darex/Worksharp: What's not to like? As my Amazon review of Worksharp KO edition says (and my more than decade of routinely using Drill Doctor } Darex is still in the business of making tools that do what they say they will do and keeping its employees happy and proud and its customers satisfied (I've never talked to a Darex worker, but I'm guessing the quality of the work is a good indication the people who make these tools like where they work and what they do.)

    FOR THE COMPANY: I would appreciate a video demonstrating examples of using this attachment to sharpen a variety of different shop/garden tools - mower blades, brush cutters, chisels, machetes, etc. You have photo on your site showing a hatchet being sharpened, but that's about it.

    Also, you know that little chart, 'What Knife Are You Sharpening?' you include with the KO ed. giving the angle, grit schedule, speed and passes for different types of knives. You might also think of printing the same kind of chart on the back of it for some common types of shop and garden tools. Yes, I know angles for things like mower blades and other tools often depend on mfg. specs, but sometimes those are hard to come by and your recommendations would at least provide some guidence (Ryobi's Tri Arc blade specs. seem to be a big secret and don't appear in any online articles discussing sharpening them, even the ones that recommend they can be sharpened.)

    I am also a little confused about the difference between the what the KO…
