Can the X1 sharpen steel, bi-metal and carbide?
Yes, with the correct wheels. Choose a steel/bi-metal main module for those oscillating blades, or a diamond main module for carbide oscillating blades. The X1 holds one module at a time. Upgrade to the 7-piece side grinding wheel pack for $79 to add CBN and diamond side wheels for sharpening individual steel, bi-metal and carbide teeth.
How much practice does it take?
Most people pick up the basics of sharpening oscillating blades, reciprocating blades and hole saws within minutes. Drill bits and circular saw blades—including miter and table saw blades—can take a little more practice.
We include a link to in-depth, step-by-step videos showing how to sharpen each type, so you can watch the technique and follow along at your own pace.
Can every dull blade be saved?
No. Sharpening removes material. Blade condition, remaining cutting material and damage determine whether a blade is still suitable to sharpen and use. Bi-metal blades have a finite high-speed-steel tooth strip; carbide teeth must have enough sound material remaining.
Which battery adapter should I choose?
Choose the adapter for your battery brand from the purchase options at the top of this page. Check the listed battery voltage and compatibility before ordering.
Does this version sharpen chisels or straight edges?
