Somewhere in this thread one of the authors talked about sharpening plane blades.  For an interesting technique look up Rob Cosman’s videos using Shapton glass stones to sharpen.  Finally, if there is any interest I will post a picture of Shapton stone holders that I had a local plastic fabricator make for me based on my understanding of WE stone geometry.

What I am not so sure about is how close to a certain angle setting does one have to get to sharpen nearly perfectly and how quickly can one sharpen a blade to near perfection.  Too bad there is variation in WE stone geometry.

After years of trying to sharpen tools and knives and reading about how to sharpen and trying out so many ideas and methods – I have discovered that I don’t know a lot.  That said the author of scienceofsharp.com says that WE can’t do a good job with S110V.  He is in the process of publishing a three-part article on his website about sharpening S110V.

As for 50/80 stones for reprofiling – I have an old Tormek that I inherited for reprofiling/nick removing chisels and plane blades – then I use WE to finish.  But that’s just me and I am spending my children’s inheritance because they are far more successful than me.
