Will it sharpen silver and deming bits?

Most of the Silver ... bits are too big. They go from 9/16 to 1 1/2". This sharpener will go up to 3/4". I cant see why it would not sharpen these bits that are 3/4" or smaller. This is a great tool!

yes. i use it to sharpen axes and picks and it works fine. If you have a bunch blades to sharpen you will need extra battery.

No it will not. I have sharpened my chains several times with this sharpener with no problems. I have not worried about it at all.

Yes it will that sharpener with static angle.Its good as emergency sharpener.If you need to keep original angle you should invest money for more expensive stuff with multy stones.Sry for my bad English.

The answer is "Yes". But, it arrives dull: I sharpened ours immediately, mostly using a file. HTH, Robert

Right off the top, I would say no. But I have never tried it. I use mine to sharpen all my planner blades and it does a very good job. I keep my blades razor sharp. I have a small belt type sharpener that I use for my hedge blades.

It will sharpen any edge. Just use it as instructed. Use a smooth stroke for 5-6 times in one direction, then smooth stoke in the other direction. I have used it to sharpen shovels, blades, scissors,etc... It's been years since I've had a paper cutter. But if I remember correctly the blade is flat on the bottom and looses it's sharpness on that and the flat surface facing the board. Swipe the flat surface facing the cutting metal and the bottom surface, too. You will notice the difference immediately.

I don't think so. I was drilling into soft pine and the bits dulled quickly

Yes, the carbide sharpener and the diamond stone will put a sharp edge on a dull knife, then the ceramic rods will hone the edge and keep it sharp when used regularly. I leave it out on the counter top and touch up Kershaw folder almost daily. You can take it with you since it folds up nicely.

I have never used it to sharpen scalpels, etc but I do not see why not -- other than eventually wearing away the metal. The finishing triangular rods are very fine. The big advantage of the sharpener is that you gently pull the blade toward you with the blade straight up & down - so you don't have to try to guesstimate the proper degree angle. It's very effective and the mirror finish on the grind is obvious.

It has a suction cup base, you could mount it on your counter nearby and swipe it once or twice as needed, it definitely will sharpen them. It will shave a small amount of steel off each time.

I use Forstner drill bits all the time. You can repair a "nick" in the cutting edge with a round file, but it is very time consuming to sharpen the entire bit with a file. To avoid dulling the cutting edge, run the bit at low speed and use smaller bits to remove most of the material before finishing the cut with the larger 2" dia. bit.

Yes the sapphire hone does, the strop doesn't that much. The sapphire hone (I'm guessing based on past experiences) sharpens like it's a 1500-2000 grit stone, meaning you still remove metal. The strop just straightens out the microscopic burrs on your blade and aligns them with each other. (Just like bending the teeth of a saw)

Hello Kyrylo, In my limited experience there are two principal factors in blade's sharpening. One and the most important is the hardness of the abrasive material (this is the material that you will use to abrade) the abrasive material must be harder than the metal of the blade, so it can erode the blade, until the blade takes a good edge. The other matter is the grain size of the abrasive material, if the size is small, the edge will be thinner and sharpen but it will take much longer to erode the steel, larger grain size will leave a coarse finish but the erotion part is considerably faster. If you are wondering if the carbide stone may abrade any of those steels... my answer will be a resounding yes. This material is one of the most hardest materials ever made and is almost or equal as hard as a diamond, there is no steel made by man that can achieve such hardness. But don't trust me, go and investigate about hardness. I recomend you to search the hardness tables of scales like Rockwell or Vickers, the manofacturer of the steel can provide you the info. You just need to compare the hardness of the steel and the stone. Finally I have a really good experience with this sharpener, as you may read in the description of it, the carbide stone sets the edge of the blade, and the ceramic stone finish the work, this is beacuse the ceramic stone has a smaller grain size than the carbide. And this is a pocket sharpener, to make quick repairs on the edge of modest knifes (like a bowie style and smallers) it's not for heavy duty. I hope I have been helpful. Best regards.

Absolutely... oil or cutting fluid is a must or the bits will overheat and dull very quick.

Not really no, just keep it clean, and sharpen it when it's dull. Which isn't very often.

Ive seen people use this sharpener successfully on hatchets, so my guess would be yes.
