Taytools 468433 Hollow Chisel Mortise 2-Piece Set of Diamond Sharpening Hones 200 and 600 Grit for Chisels Up To 1/2 Inch

Slight change in angle but puts a perfect finish and keen edge on the mortise chisel(s)

I am a woodturner and use the 600 grit cone to hone the inside edge of a ring tool. I wish it had a little better coat of diamond, but for the price it is a good value, For those who lost the diamonds one the surface, you are pushing too hard. Let the tool do its work. Put the bit in a drill and run it at low speed while LIGHTLY pressing into the chisel. A drop of honing oil will also improve results.

These make it easy to sharpen your hollow chisels.

Didn’t work with 1/2” bit like they said. Otherwise worked fine. Had to buy another set….

Perform as advertised

Meh. The fine one seemed to have only patchy abrasive on it. Course one works OK.

I read a few articles on sharpening mortise bits and they recommend using round files. This was way better. It was easier, quicker and for me more accurate. This is the way to go.

I never imagined it would be so difficult to find sharpeners for my hollow chisels but it has been. For some reason none of the chisel manufacturers list the angle of the chisels, and non of the cone sharpener manufacturers list the angle of the sharpening cones. This baffles me. I bought these to sharpen my powermatic premium chisels (Japanese). Research seems to say that most Japanese made chisels have a cone angle of 60 degrees. I got the taytools cones and they are 56 degrees, which you would not think is a big difference but it is huge. These cones do not work for most Japanese made chisels. I don't understand why all of this information isn't clearly provided.The lee valley cones are far superior and are at a perfect 60 degrees. They are also twice as big meaning you can sharpen 3/4" or even 1" chisels if you have them. The taytool set, and most of the others you find out there, will only sharpen up to 1/2"
