Title: Work Sharp
Post by: Soonerlongbow on October 30, 2014, 10:24:00 AM
Anybody use the Work Sharp belt style shapener to work on their broad heads?

I've hit my Alaska Bowhunting Supply Maasai heads on there a couple times and they came out good.

That's all I use.  I have to hold a different angle for diff types of heads, but can get em to shave dry.

yep,my buddy bought me one as a gift a few yrs back.
 i take the guide off, tilt the belt flat like a belt sander and have at it. just touched up some bear razorheads.

I bought one, tried it on my BH's, then boxed it up and took it back!

Disclaimer: I am as sharpening challenged as they come! The reason it did not work for me is more that I cannot hold the same angle on both sides of the blade than it is that the WorkSharp is not a good piece of equipment. If I do not have something to hold my angle consistent (i.e. KME), I cannot get anything sharp!
