Discovered this little tool at Rockler yesterday while searching for a Wolverine system for my lathe tools. Already sharpened every knife in the drawer for my Mrs. and did the guides for my current build last night.

It makes quick work of guide preperation. To hold guides that are size 6 and smaller I use threaded Dremel shaft with the disc removed.

I use a Harbor Freight 1x30 belt sander to prep guides, works great! they are like $40 now. I use the Scotchbrite type discs to polish after I prep. Takes less than a minute per guide. Much easier and quicker than using files! A belt lasts a long time, too. I use the slack belt portion from the side so it rounds the edges nicely.

I use the same tool as Timothy, but I actually want to leave the perpendicular sanding marks left on the guide feet. These fine perpendicular grooves really aid in keeping the guide wraps in place and tight.

Also use the 1x30 sander for guide prep. But found micron belts for it, no need to polish. they come out perfect

Hi, Vaughn,
Any more info on micron belts?
Thanks

I use a variable speed dremel and I think it works fine. I can also use it for many other projects, so it's well worth the money.
