The Sears CRAFTSMAN Utility Sharpener is designed with numerous features to quickly
and safely sharpen various items around the house and shop. A fine grit grinding wheel
is used to produce a sharp and precise cutting edge. Two multi-position tool rests pro-
vide a firm work surface at a variety of angles. A water trough is used to keep the
grinding wheel and the workpiece cool during sharpening operations. The Utility
Sharpener additionally has been outfitted with an electrical power switch that permits
the grinding wheel to rotate in the Forward and Reverse directions.
The Utility Sharpener will put a sharp edge on knives, scissors, and fiat chisels with
a minimal amount of effort and skill needed by the user. Sharp tools cut more quickly,
safely and efficiently. A dull edge will require the user to apply more pressure to the
workpiece, possibly causing iniury to the user. Keeping the cutting tools sharp will pro-
vide many years of useful service. Periodic sharpening will prevent the tools from losing
the bevel that was put on by the manufacturer originally. The factory bevel is what you
should use when sharpening any tool.
