I dont use mine very often and over the years they have been sharpened rather badly. Used mainly for rough woodwork. Anyhow I have decided to spend some time and get all my planes and chisels sharpened and with the correct angles. Today using a honing guide it took me about 3 hours to get the primary bevel angle ground doing it by hand on 180 grit on a glass sheet. As I have a few blades to be done is there a way to speed up the intitial part of the sharpening before progressing to finer grits with the honing guide which I dont mind spending a bit of time on. Tools to hand would be: Angle grinder / belt sander / bench grinder
I suspect something between the belt sander and the bench grinder but how to get the correct angle as I dont have a jig for any of these.
