No, the manufacturer makes it clear that it is only for sharpening knives (which it does superbly).

The blade would have to be very narrow analogous to a knife. Also, something as large as a machete would tax the machine. You need something more industrial for that application.

No. It is only for knives with reasonably thin blades--like kitchen knives.

Your problem is your cheapo ax. You are going to be forever sharpening it because its made cheap metal and won't hold and edge. You will save many hours of time if you go buy an old ax head made of good steel, sharpen that one, and rehandle it. As for your cheapo ax, sell it for 3$ and accept your 12$ lesson in life.

No, this would not be my first choice. The corse grit will not remove enough metal. For a $15 axe I'd use a file to get the edge to a reasonable shape.

Anything you can use a small knife for fishing camping since it is carbon steel you can use it to start a fire with flint or fire steel I wanted it to butcher chickens and rabbits with but was sent the wrong one and never reordered

This sharpener is for knives, would not really be feasible to use on an ax blade.

You could but it really isn't ideal. I imagine you'd burn through your blades pretty quick unless you were super careful to make sure they don't torque up against the wood and snap. I might suggest one of the other blades designed to cut wood.

yes you can but you will have to reverse the blade and you may want to get a longer blade so that it stays in the guide of the box.Good luck.

Yes you would. Better steel than a portable axe, will holk and edge for a long time.

Any knife can be sharpened by it. I sharpened all my knives, even serrated, really well and with not much effort.

If you are talking about the one in a kitchen to easily sharpen kitchen knives, no. But with all kinds of accessories, you will definitely be able to sharpen anything.

Could cut down various sized tree. It is sharp. Depends upon the amount of physical force applied and angle used. Not designed as an axe but if given a choice I would choose this tool due to the multiple uses.

I have not tried using one of those to sharpen it. But I have used every other standard sharpening tool and so far it hasnt received any damage at all.

I haven't tried to do that - but the construction of the cutter assemby is pretty flimsy so I would not plan to cut sandpaper with this machine - there are no provisions for sharpening a dulled curtting edge.

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.

You could put a metal cutting blade and use it that way, I think you could use this with wood cutting blade. The blades can be found at most home centers, there isn't specific part number, just have a 1" arbor.

Yes, but the handle is two pieces of wood riveted to the tang and there is gap the thickness of the tang. I really like the machete for sharpness and ease of sharpening

Isn't the blade the key to cutting anything? You can use this saw to cut darn near everything, including non-ferrous metals, IF you install the correct blade.
