Can this field kit also sharpen woodworking tools...chisels, plane irons and blades, lathe tools?

This kit can sharpen those items. In the end, anything can be sharpened freehand with this kit if it won't work with included guides. However Worksharp makes some upper end, more commercial sharpeners that are more geared for advanced type woodworking tools. Worth looking at although more costly. Do a search for videos and they will show the various things that can be sharpened, and how. I think the Worksharp website also has videos.

Work Sharp makes the WS3000 specifically to sharpen woodworking tools. It also has an optional belt sharpening attachment for knife and scissor sharpening, or can be used "unguided" for free-hand applications.

Hello, I really have not used it for wood working tools and other tools I think it will to some extent for small tools, but what I know for sure is its a dream come true for knives.There is two other models for woodworking and metalworking that are made specifically for these jobs, you might want to check the website http://www.worksharptools.com/ I hope this helped answer your question

I would think that depends on what you plan on sharpening? Knives, axes, hand held tools all good...just be sure to buy the kits for the different mounting/grinding angles. I love mine, use it for all knives and woodturning tools

Yes!!, but be careful not to hit rocks or anything that is too big for the teeth or it will nick them and then need to be filed and sharpened.

In my experience, the serrated stone on this kit is almost useless. Serrations aren't usually triangular anyway. I would suggest using the hand sharpener carefully on the serrations.

Looks like yes: http://www.timberlinesharpener.com/shop/timberline-chainsaw-sharpener

The chisel holder I use can sharpen a skew chisel if the metal shaft is long enough to accomodate the extra length needed to get the cutting edge down to the spinning stone. A regular chisel or plane knife is 90 degrees to the stone. A skew would have to match the angle of the skewed blade. since it's something less than 90 degrees, it takes more shaft to get the edge to the surface of the stone. I hope this helps.

I know you can sharpen scissors. I haven't tried yet but I have sharpened tin snips and axes. You can sharpen just about anything. All the guides come off or move to really work the tool.

I have not but I have sharpened my hatchet blade with it and I would think that it would work as well on a mower blade. Normally, I use a grinder for mower blades and hatchet. After grinding the rough edges off of the hatchet, I finished it off with the Work Sharp and got a good edge for making kindling.

I would think so. Im pretty sure I saw other websites selling this product for just that. Basically if its steel and not serated, you can use any sharpening stone for it

For a razor blade, yes. I've used it to sharpen the blades of my broadheads which are just like a razor blade.

You may be able to. Probably not with the tips included with the kit though, as thy are more for chiseling. I would say that it has the power to do so, it will be a challenge to hold it steady, as it does try to jump around when hitting against something sturdy.

as a compact field sharpener, yes but don't expect a high quality or razor edge. The PP1has its pros and cons, if you want the best edge you can get use a lansky or gatco

I use mine to sharpen chisels and plane irons ins the shop, but I see no reason why they wouldn't be great on knives also. I use a little water on the stone to keep it from clogging with iron filings, of course then I oil the tools well after sharpening to prevent rust. I've give mine hard daily use for 4 months and it shows no sign of ware. I have no idea how long it will last but it seems like a long time.

Razor sharpening is not my area....However I have been told my chisels and plane irons are razor sharp.

Hey Jorge, if you are looking for a small sharpener to carry in your pocket to sharpen anything on the fly with then this is it, I've sharpened Axe"s, Hatchets, Knives and also fishing blades with this little gem... to answer your question YES.. it will sharpen just about anything, I would recommend putting the Machetes between your knee's with the handle hitting your stomach, then sharpen with a forward motion away from you, use course side first then the fine ceramic side.. also look at Smith's 50447 4-Inch Diamond Sharpening Stone, it run's about $10.00, by using these two products together you will be able to just about sharpen anything to hold a good blade. Well I hope I was of some help with this product... :-)

No I don't believe so, remember you're using this on a (relatively) massive flat grinding stone, I'd think to sharpen brad point bits you're gonna need a small precision grinding wheel to get inside the bit.

The slots would probably be too narrow for axes , but machetes should work fine. I have found that although it scratched my knife blades the Furi Rachael Ray Ozitech Diamond Fingers Pro Knife Sharpener works great on axes. It should be fine for machetes too.
