Excellent sharpener. I've used this to sharpen my lathe tools and my chisels. It runs at a consistent speed and the water well keeps the tool from overheating. the only thing that I have against it is that the plastic that the body of the tool is made of could have been a little more sturdy. But at the price point that this is at it is well worth the money.

Very good product for the money. The holders do need some work if you want to sharpen a lesser degree angle 12 to 15°. I used a piece of paper when I installed the stone to take up the extra shaft to Stone clearance. I was very impressed as to the stones run out great right out of the box. I made a couple of extra parts with my 3D printer will try to include pictures. The biggest modification is on the knife holders the thumb wheels are too tall and the whole closest to the blade needs to be recessed. I used a 3/4-in in Mill and recessed it approximately .200 thousands. As far as sharpening knives I mainly use this for my first initial roughing in and then finish up with two finer stones by hand. All in all I'm very happy with this and would buy it again.

Welcome, sharpening enthusiasts and budget-conscious woodworkers, to the review of the WEN BG4270T 10-Inch Two-Direction Water Cooled Wet/Dry Sharpening System - or as I like to call it, the "Tormek for the Rest of Us."Now, let's get one thing straight: if you're expecting me to say, "This is exactly like a Tormek but for pennies," I'm not going to do that. But what I will say is, this machine punches well above its weight class, especially when you consider the price tag.First off, this beast comes with a 10-inch 220 grit wet sharpening stone paired with an 8-inch leather stropping wheel. That's like getting the main course and dessert in one go! The slow speed of 115 RPM is just what the doctor ordered for precision sharpening without turning your beloved chisels into toast.The two-direction feature? Oh, it's like having a dance partner who can switch lead and follow. Flip a switch, and you can reverse the direction of the wheel to cater to the needs of both right and left-handed users or to tackle different sharpening tasks. It's like having two sharpeners in one, but without the extra cost or clutter.The water-cooled aspect of this system is a godsend for those of us who've seen too many tools go from sharp to scorched. It keeps things cool, ensuring your tools maintain their integrity and don't overheat. It’s like having a little spa treatment for your blades - all without the hefty price tag of a professional setup.Compatibility is another highlight. With a universal jig support, you're not locked into buying WEN-only accessories. This means you can expand your sharpening arsenal without breaking the bank or worrying about compatibility. Even Tormek jigs can get in on this action with a little adapter magic, which is like finding out your favorite shoes fit with all your outfits.Now, let's talk about the price versus performance. While the Tormek might be the golden standard, the WEN BG4270T offers a silver medal performance at a bronze medal price. You get a solid, reliable sharpening system that doesn't require selling your firstborn or taking a second mortgage.In conclusion, if you're looking to sharpen your tools without sharpening your expenses, the WEN BG4270T is your go-to. It's robust, versatile, and brings that high-quality sharpening experience into the realm of affordability. So, for those who want to keep their blades singing through wood without breaking the bank, this WEN system is not just a good choice - it's a sharp choice.

Arrived in great shape. only received it yesterday. No wabble with the wheels I checked all the screws one or two were a little loose. Accessory kit is on the way. Tool rest bar and stone seem to be square with each other.We have always preferred water stones to sharpening our knives and tools. Slow but get a fabulous edge.This machine should be great for changing sharpening angle, as in small wood carving knives. WEN makes alltypes of tools all that I have are well designed and work great. Tools made for TOMAK T 8 are said to fit this machine. I will write a follow up review after I use it for a while. I am Excited Great looking machine That I can afford. GOD BLESS AMERICA JOE

Compre esta máquina de segunda mano gestionado por Amazon, el cual ponía estado bueno, pues bien, la máquina llego con cortocircuitos con plástico quemados y derretidos, ni siquiera pruebe a ver si funcionaba, pues olía a motor quemado, la piedra con una fisura de consideración, un estado lamentable no acto para su venta. Luego tras hacer devolución no me ofrecen cambio por otro aunque sea nuevo, solo devolución cheque regalo para obtener dinero lo más pronto posible, cuál es mi sorpresa que casi después de una semana no recibo devolución, llamo y me dicen que espere 7 días que el sistema ha decidido otro método. Total me siento engañado y estafado por esta empresa Amazon. Tened cuidado y no fiarse de estos tipos de productos, ya que se ve que no lo revisan ni nada.

WEN BG4270T 10-Inch Two-Direction Water Cooled Wet/Dry Sharpening System is very commendable & cost effective unit. If you plan to sharpen your tools 1 - 3 Times a Month, then, this WEN Unit I believe would perfectly meet anyone's needs. Especially, when you compare that to the Premium Product, TORMEK T-8 System, which starts at a cost of $900 Plus & Up. If you're on a budget, the TORMEK is more suitable for those individuals who plan on doing a lot of tool & knife sharpening, such as a professional knife sharpen or woodworker. So, the WEN Unit would be a good choice if you're on a budget &/or you're not interested buying the best.Besides, FYI, all the TORMEK Accessories & Jigs do work & fit the WEN Product, including the Cotton Cover. However, there is one caveat, you'll need to purchase a "Threaded Adapter Sleeve Reducing Nut" for the 8" Leather Stroping Wheel, in order to fit accessories on that side of the WEN Unit.To Purchase the, "Threaded Adapter Sleeve Reducing Nut, 8mm Female (M8) to 12mm Male (M12) Screw Conversion Nut," CLICK ON, OR COPY & PASTE:https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MVR28NK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&th=1Also, if you wish to replace the existing mounting nut for the 10" Grinding Wheel with a "12mm (M12) Female x 50mm Screw on Clamping Nut Knob," then CLICK ON, OR COPY & PASTE:https://www.amazon.com/uxcell-Female-Thread-Round-Clamping/dp/B018500EKW?pd_rd_w=pX2C2&content-id=amzn1.sym.47078f0f-6136-43d7-a63f-08b5e29bec55&pf_rd_p=47078f0f-6136-43d7-a63f-08b5e29bec55&pf_rd_r=P9JTPJGGNHGTKQ4ARWX3&pd_rd_wg=8gY9I&pd_rd_r=1311c155-4538-4310-a3e3-45862c2dd42d&pd_rd_i=B018500EKW&psc=1&ref_=pd_bap_d_grid_rp_0_15_iSince purchasing the WEN BG4270T 10-Inch Two-Direction Water Cooled Wet/Dry Sharpening System, & all of the TORMEK ACCESSORIES & JIGS, I truly have enjoyed my time sharpening all of my tools & knives, without having any problems or malfunctions with the WEN Unit.FYI, I own other WEN Products, & from my experience they seem to produce good quality products, that are best in class for the money.HENCE, I'M A VERY HAPPY CUSTOMER, & HOPEFULLY YOU WILL BE TOO.
