(1) Set Up Instructions:

3,4 |
1 Insert tapped end of bar into the tool bar knuckle and use a mallet to tap bar until it seats. Use provided fastener (5/32” hex key) to secure bar and create a 90° Tool Bar.
2 Secure Bracket onto the Work Sharp 3000:
AInsert the bracket fasteners (1/4” 20 Nuts) into provided T-Slots of the back of the WS3000 as shown.
BSlide bracket up and into the T-Slots from the bottom until bracket stops. Tighten the two fasteners to hold bracket in place with a 5/32” hex key.
3Insert Tool Bar into bracket as shown.
4Square the Tool Bar to the wheel. Move the micro adjust nut to the top of the rod and place the Tool Bar onto the wheel and tighten the Tool Bar knob. Loosen the two bracket fasteners and adjust the bracket until the bar is flat on the wheel. Then re-tighten the bracket.
Jack screw on the bottom of the bracket can be used to micro adjust the bracket position.
(2) Abrasives
This kit contains a premium coarse P80 ceramic oxide abrasive from Norton. This should be used to shape and sharpen tools. It is a very fast, yet cool, cutting abrasive and will shape or sharpen a tool very quickly. Once your tools are shaped to your desired geometry, your standard Work Sharp 3000 abrasive kit (P120, P400, P1000, 3600) will keep them sharp.
Abrasive Kit contains:
P120 Grit: Intended for roughing, shaping and sharpening.
P400 Grit: Intended for sharpening and edge refinement.
P1000 Grit: Intended for sharpening and edge refinement.
3600 Grit: Intended for honing and polishing.
(3) Tips and Techniques
Heat Control:
Be aware of your tool’s temperature to avoid burning the steel. Monitor the tool’s heat with your fingers. 150° is too hot to touch. Steel is not affected until 400°. If a tool becomes too hot, allow it to air cool or place it in a cup of water.
Changing the grinding point on the wheel can help control heat. The wheel speed at the outer edge is faster (hotter) than the center of the wheel (cooler).
Micro Adjust:
You can micro adjust your height setting to acheive nearly any specific angle you desire (One full revolution is equivalent to .080 inches or +/- 2.5° at bevel angle).
This makes it faster and easier to match the existing angle already sharpened onto your tool. This micro adjust nut will also hold the height (H) setting for you if you need to loosen the tool bar securing knob to swing the tool rest out of the way.
The Tool Bar has two primary positions (A and B) but is infinitely adjustable to meet your specific tool sharpening needs.
Reference the Cast Line in the vertical rod to set A or B position.

(4) Set Up Fixture
The Set Up Fixture helps set your Tool Stick Out (TSO) and bar Height
(H). These two settings determine the angle sharpened onto the tool.
Setting the Tool Stick Out (TSO)
There are two TSO settings (A and B). Reference the specific tool sharpening chart in this guide to determine which jig is needed, and which angle you desire. The chart will determine the TSO setting you will need to use.

There are three height (H) settings for sharpening your tools. When referencing the sharpening charts in this guide (Page 10, 15), the bar height is not limited to those heights and can be adjusted to any height needed. To create a standard, repeatable angle, reference the tool sharpening charts
Tip: Tool Bar Height can also be H1 set by placing the tool into the
appropriate jig and adjusting the tool bar height until the
tool bevel lays flat on the abrasive wheel.

(5) Freehand Topside
The tool bar can be placed at various positions and heights for topside freehand sharpening.
A Set the tool bar to desired height and orientation to the grinding wheel.
B Set the tool stick out on tool rest so the bevel angle matches that of your tool.
When holding the tool, your hand (fingers) can be used to create a tool stop against the tool bar while sharpening.
Tip: You can also scribe or mark a line onto your tool to identify the Tool Stick Out and record the Height setting for repeatable future sharpenings.
(6) Freehand Underside
The Tool Bar can be placed under the grinding wheel on the back side of the machine. This provides a stable tool rest for improved precision.
When sharpening curved tools, use the Edge-Vision® slotted wheel see through wheel and abrasives.
