Tools and Hardware Reviews of Jet 708015 JSSG-10 Slow Speed Wet Sharpener

Customer Review: Does what I want.
Summary: 4 Stars

Disclaimer: I have never owned a slow speed wet sharpener system before, nor have I ever used the Tormek. I have an assortment of Veritas jigs for sharpening, as well as several wet stones and plate glass/micro papers for sharpening. But I have never gotten good results, nor is any of the methods quick and easy. So......I bought the Jet system.

Since the patent ran out for Tormek, Jet apparently is the first out of the "box" with a copy of Tormek's design. I see Grizzly now is marketing their own version.
I am not a "Jet" person, but I was impressed with the fit & finish of this sharpener and the special deal I got moved me to purchase it.
I got the Jet with the extra storage base and a couple extra jigs.
I agree the plastic guides on the straight edge jig can slip off if you're not careful. Not a big deal, just make sure they both get onto the guide post.I'm sure I'll come up with a way to make them stay on, afterall we're woodworkers and we've all built or changed tools in order to fit our personal needs.
The grinding wheel seems to have the right balance between cut and longevity. The fragibility (I know it's not really a word) - or when the dull pieces on the wheel fracture and fall off, is a balancing act. If they stay on longer the wheel doesn't wear out as fast, but it cuts slower; if it fractures too soon, the wheel cuts fast but also wears out faster.I guess if you are used to the longer wearing but slower cutting Tormek wheel, you might have to adjust to the Jet wheel, but the Jet replacement wheel is about 1/2 the price of the Tormek.
The only negative I found was the "owners manual". There is no paper manual. They do provide you with a DVD that basically explains the machine and all the jigs, but they also need a paper manual. Sharpening is partially an art form, so most of us need more information than what Jet provides.
I've ordered the Tormek manual ($17) which I understand goes into the machine and the how to sharpen your tools in detail.
So for what I need; sharpening hand plane blades, and assorted shears and gardening clippers, the Jet has what I need.

Array of Powerful, Unique Features to Boost Productivity
Specially designed to offer a unique array of powerful, efficient features you simply can't find on other models, the JSSG-10 provides torque adjustment for consistent pressure to drive the shaft, variable dial speed control to maintain outer wheel speed regardless of the sharpening stone diameter (a real advantage when removing large amounts of material or honing on a leather wheel), and a unique reservoir design for improved water management that helps prevent spills and messes. All of these additions save you time to help boost productivity.

Diameter Scale and Built-In Storage Keep You Organized
The JSSG-10 also comes equipped with a diameter scale that provides a quick reference for the stone wheel diameter. And to help keep your tools organized and at your fingertips, Jet has equipped the JSSG-10 with a built-in storage tray--a convenient place for all your sharpening accessories.

Continuous Stream of Water Prevents Overheating
The lower portion of the stone operates in a bath of water. As the stone revolves, it carries the water continuously over the grinding surface, which cools it and thereby eliminates the risk and potential damage of overheating.

Variable Speed Switch for Greater Flexibility
The grindstone runs at 90 to 150 RPM and is driven by a quiet yet powerful motor controlled by the variable speed switch. When the grindstone diameter is 250 millimeters, the grinder can--and should--be set at the lower 90 RPM setting.

Over time and with frequent use, the grindstone will wear down, and then the speed can be increased to compensate for the diameter loss. This ability to increase and decrease the speed makes it a snap to maintain the desirable surface speed at all times, giving you a greater measure of flexibility.

Helpful Accessories for a Variety of Jobs
The JSSG-10 comes with a host of accessories including a dual surface stone grader that dresses the wheel for both fine and course sharpening; a straight edge jig to sharpen chisels, spokeshave blades, and planer blades; an angle measuring device to establish the angle of the tool being sharpened in relation to the stone; an existing angle measuring device to establish the angle of the tool's cutting edge; a support arm that mounts directly to the front or back of the sharpener and can be used with a wide assortment of Jet sharpening jibs; and a honing compound tube that gives your newly sharpened tools that final, polished edge.

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.
