Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus
Ultimate Sharpening System
The ProEdge Plus by Robert Sorby is a state-of-the-art system for sharpening edge tools. The Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus system was developed after engineers at Robert Sorby realized that the large machines used in the grinding of new chisels could be reduced in size and made available to smaller shops. The Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus is based on the large linishing machines used in Sheffield to grind new chisels. Made entirely in England, the Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus is a very high quality precision tool. I have spent almost a year working with a protoype system and I could not be more impressed. Unlike other dry grinding machines that we have used, the Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus seems to run very cool, and we have never had any problems with overheating an edge. The only time that I have even noticed a tool getting hot is when I was using a belt that was really worn out and no longer cutting effectively. I tend to do most of my sharpening freehand, and with the precisely adjustable tool rest, the Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus is the best system that I have ever used for free hand grinding. I can take a badly chipped blade on an antique plane and get it to first class condition in no time. The secret is taking maximum advantage of the various belts which are available. Using one of the coarse ceramic belts, you can remove material very quickly, but you will have a very coarse edge. Then switching to a finer belt, you can quickly clean up the edge. Changing belts on the Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus is very quick. I can now do it less than a minute.
