Jet 708015 JSSG-10 Slow Speed Wet Sharpener Review

Jet 708015 JSSG-10 Slow Speed Wet Sharpener gives woodworkers a wide array of features that other sharpening systems do not have. It is built with a variable speed control and comes with a large over-sized water tray plus a tool storage tray. It has a unique enclosed motor housing that keeps off water and debris from the
inside of the tool. The variable speed control keeps and maintains the outer wheel speed by a powerful and quiet motor, and it does not rely on the sharpening stone diameter by operating from 90 to 150 RPM. With frequent usage the grindstone will be worn down and you may increase the revolving speed to compensate for the loss of diameter. This in turn makes the equipment ideal in keeping the optimized surface speed every time. Consistent pressure is applied to the drive shaft with its torque adjustment. The large water tray serves as a convenient place for sharpening accessories.

The wet aspect of the machine is the continuous jet of water that prevents overheating, As the grinding stone revolves, water from the lower portion is carried and helps to cool the stone therefore reducing the risk of damage from overheating. It also comes with a range of helpful accessories including a dual surface grader that you can use for either fine or coarse sharpening, a spokeshave and planar blades and it has sharpen chisels with the straight edge jig. You can establish the angle of the cutting edge of the tool with the measuring device and a support arm mounts to the back or front of the sharpener that can be used with a variety of Jet sharpening jibs, lastly, there's a tube of honing compound to give your newly sharpened equipment a polished edge.
