The Ultimate Sharpening System
The ProEdge by Robert Sorby represents the ultimate system for sharpening your woodworking tools. Its unique design incorporates many years of experience in producing the keenest of edges accurately and efficiently.
The ProEdge is the latest innovative product to come from Robert Sorby. It takes all the guesswork and effort out of sharpening all your woodworking tools – bench, framing, carving and turning chisels, drill bits and plane irons – as well as knives and garden tools. The ProEdge requires no complex assembly – it can be plugged in and used straight from the box.
One of the great challenges facing any woodworker is keeping a consistent bevel angle on their tools. With the ProEdge nothing is left to chance. The patented angle setter ensures that the same angle is achieved time after time. It incorporates a pre-set of all the most popular bevel angles – 90º, 80º, 60º, 45º, 35º, 30º, 25º, 20º, 15º. This is a strong well engineered unit which can be located anywhere in the workshop.
As the ProEdge largely replicates the tool sharpening system in the Robert Sorby factory it is not only tried and tested over many decades, it is also highly efficient and safe.
Sharpening is carried out by means of a series of inexpensive abrasive belts - aluminium oxide for bench and carving chisels, knives and plane irons; zirconium for HSS turning tools, drill and router bits: ceramic for rapid heavy duty sharpening.
Any changing of belts is a simple, straightforward task. Because of the composition of each belt, sharpening is extremely rapid and yet there is a professional, high quality finish. As the sharpening operation is quick, there is no fear of over-heating and consequently damaging the tools.
To make sharpening even more accurate there is a series of accessories which can be fitted to the ProEdge:
- Skew Jig - to give the correct presentation angle of turners’ skew chisels
- Square Jig - for presenting square tools at 90 degrees to the sharpening belt
- Gouge Jig - in the format of a vee block to prevent pivoting when sharpening a turners’ gouge
- Fingernail Profiler - to create swept back wings on a turners’ gouge
- Cutter Holder - to accept those small tool tips
- Rubberised Honing Wheel - for the inside of gouges
- Pigtail mandrel, buffing mop and paste - add a highly polished finish to any tool
- Short Platform - enables easier access for miniature or worn tools
This makes the ProEdge the most efficient, accurate sharpening system around.
The ProEdge System (PE01) comes complete with two belts.
The ProEdge Plus (PED01) includes a skew jig, a gouge jig, fingernail profiler and three different belts.

"Good item that produces sharp chisels. "

By BrianSmith on 13th November 2023
"A very good product that does everything it claims. I'm very happy with the Sorby Pro-Edge Plus Deluxe. I've tried other systems but this is the one.
"

By IanClark on 17th October 2023
"A fantastic upgrade for my home workshop. Yes, it’s expensive but it does dramatically improve sharpness of all tools and makes the whole act of sharpening less of a chore. Really pleased I bought the package deal. "

By GeorgePollard on 27th August 2023
"I have always used a sharpening wheel, with bad results, this does what it says on the tin, consistently giving great results."

By DerekBullen on 18th May 2023
"Easy ordering very quickly delivered well packed pleased with purchase."

By OronJoffe on 13th October 2022
"So far, so good! I have read on the subject widely (and watched Youtube videos!) before settling on The Sorby ProEdge. I needed something compact to sharpen both my wood-turning tools and other woodworking tools. This seems to be the ticket. So far, everything has been just as described. It's a very unobtrusive piece of kit, not too noisy (in sharp contrast with my previous 6" grinder) and, when you add up all the bits and pieces, relatively affordable (say, in comparison with a Tormek). It works very well and both convenient and easy to use.
Is it perfect? Probably not. There are a few small niggles with the design which could be improved, but they do not affect the quality of the work and I can see myself using it for as long as I'm capable of working in the workshop."

By SteveGrayson on 1st August 2022
"This is a great package for anyone that wants to be sharpening bowl gouges. It has everything you need in the bundle and is ready to go as soon as you open the box. This is the best sharpening system that I have come across and it puts a great edge on your lathe chisels."

By GeorgeNewlands on 28th July 2022
"The Sorby ProEdge makes getting sharp tools easy for a novice turner like me. Very intuitive to use…no tricky setups and changing belts is quick and easy too.it is also great for re-grinding bench chisels, plane irons and even twist drill bits. Not cheap but probably comparable with a decent bench grinder and jig set up (definitely much cheaper than a Tormek)."

By Steve on 1st May 2022
"New to wood turning not keen on bench grinders brilliant bit of kit for sharpening"

By stevenbrattan on 28th April 2022
"Very well built, like stepping back in time to when companies had pride in their products. Is very effective and fast, much easier to resist blueing of blade than a bench grinder, a dust mask is a must as it really takes the metal off, I sorted lots of ebay chisel finds on it. Great for wood turners."

By AlanLowe on 24th April 2022
"Great piece of kit. Been used to high speed grinding machines for sharpening my tools. Turning chisels require lots of differing grinding angles, particularly when grinding gouges. Easy with the Proedge and the great thing is the ability to repeat the grinds. I can definitely recommend. "

By MikeO on 11th April 2022
"Wish I had bought this earlier. An excellent machine, there are some issues with clearance on some chisels but mostly very good. I also bought 60 and 120 ceramic belts."

By AlanSmith on 9th April 2022
"Really helpful bit of kit, just what I needed to get consistently sharp chisels"

By LENBREAKWELL on 5th April 2022
"First class product"

By PaulOatham on 1st December 2021
"As a new wood turner (1 year) I have bought various tools to aid the sharpening of my gouges. Whilst the whetstone and jigs did a good job, however, when sharpening different angles the change took so long. I also count get the same profile each time. The Robert Sorby changed all that forever! Its an absolutely amazing tool. Some say its expensive, its not a cheap item, however when you compare to the branded whetstones its well within budget! I can't recommend it enough"

By NeilTaylor on 27th November 2021
"Never sharpened wood turning chisels before. It is so easy to use and well made . Would recommend and Yandles are a pleasure to deal with."

"Had been looking for the ProEdge for a while and the deal from Yandles was perfect, very quick delivery and no issues at all. "

By AndrewShotton on 27th January 2021
"I recently bought the RobertSorby ProEdge Plus deluxe sharpening system. I am relatively new to wood turning and cannot underestimate the assistance this machine has given me. It is simplicity itself to set up and use for whatever angle you require. A brilliant tool. As they say you are only as good as your tools and this product certainly gives you the edge. Well done Mr Sorby you have made my hobby very enjoyable. "

By RobD on 15th January 2021
"It took a failure of my existing wet grinder for me to purchase the pro edge but very glad I did. The ability to easily reshape when needed as well as the quick retouch is a step up from the wet grind and the edge created is really very good. "

By PeteM on 12th January 2021
"Great machine, very easy to use with plenty of flexibility. Also grinds flat not concave unlike a Tormek or similar. Would definitely recommend."

By MarkWise on 7th December 2020
"Im over the moon with this product. It's the best investment I've made in a long time. i wish i had brought this a long time ago. "
By PaulBell on 14th November 2020
"Now retired, I am taken up turning after a long break. I came across the Robert Sorby tool sharpening system which was generally very well received. I therefore purchased the Deluxe System from Yandles. This was delivered in good time and was well packaged. The tool is heavy and solid and included all of the jigs that I needed to begin sharpening, which I then did and spent several hours sharpening my all my tools. The system allows repeatable and quick sharpening and I am very pleased with my purchase and of the service provided by Yandles."

By Jeremy on 9th September 2020

By AdrianProcter on 24th August 2020

The system is really easy to use, especially if one takes advantage of the tutorials on the Sorby website and the many YouTube videos that are out there. Some of my woodturning tools have never been better sharpened."

By Paulus on 19th August 2020

"Great piece of kit, works straight out of the box with minimal set up. I would recommend that the Robert Sorby Hints and Tips video is viewed on You Tube before using it. There is no getting away from the fact that it is not cheap, but well worth the money."

It took me 30 minutes to set it up and with the help of the Robert Sorby video, I had my chisels all sharp and ready to go in no time. It is so simple to use and I get continually repeat the bevel required.
I would also like to thank Yandles for the service and quick response provided. I placed my order on 30th March and it arrived on the 1st April and this was during lockdown. A great company who I will certainly use again."

When I visited you in March one of your staff was very helpful and showed me this product, explaining that it gives consistent results. I left it for a while considering the cost. I decided to purchase by phone on Thursday 2nd May and it was delivered well packaged and in perfect condition on Saturday 4th May thankyou for your excellent service. Being ex engineering I am impressed by the quality , and all my chisels are now perfectly sharpened. With the accessories included the whole range of chisels can be consistently sharpened .Money well spent ! "

By Bob on 18th March 2019
"This is the best sharpening tool I have ever used. As it is a belt sharpener it is very easy to get an even finish unlike you get from a bench grinder as the angle is constant. Changing belts is a simple process as is adjusting the angle. My woodturning has greatly improved now I have finally sharpened my gouges properly, along with kitchen knives, chisels and plane blades. It's worth watching the youTube videos as they help you through your first sharpening process. Service from Yandles was first class as usual."

By PhillipBates on 13th March 2019

"I am disappointed that my ProEdge was not finished to a better standard. Neither gig slid easily along tool platform, but the skew gig in particular was very rough. "

By ANDREDOYENWEBER on 29th December 2018
"Very satisfied with my purchase, great products arrived quickly Thank you "

By DeanCannon on 26th December 2018
"I ordered several items , Yandles staff unpacked the pro edge , added the extra sanding belts to the box and dispatched through their delivery courier, unfortunately because the extra packaging had been removed , the pro edge was damaged , I emailed Yandles , to which they did not reply, apparently their system was having problems
So , I phoned and spoke to staff, I was asked to deal with Robert Sorry direct, which I did, Robert Sorry were fantastic , analysed the problem and told me to contact Yandles , informing them of their packing error, and that Yandles should replace the pro edge, after several failed attempts , I left a phone message.
Yandles did not reply , so a few days later, I phoned again , I was told the pro edge was being exchanged that day, as I was at work , 30 miles away, I had to phone around relatives, to be at my address , to enable the exchange
No communication or apology from Yandles until a month later, asking for a review, so here it is!
The exchanged pro edge is fantastic, the repeatability of setting angles makes sharpening a doddle, the belts are quick and easy to change, the only faff is minor, taking the guard on and off, could be easier.
That said , I would highly recommend the pro edge
"

By PerLarsen on 23rd December 2018
"By far the easiest way to sharpen and re-profile turning turning tools. The machine is also well built.
Yandles also had fast delivery and great service."

By Alun on 2nd December 2018
"ProEdge is great, I have been using a wet grinding machine and got fed up with changing the setting every time I sharpened a different tool, lots of money but so worth it."

By roy waterfall on 16th September 2018
"first class product , saves a lot of time excellent sharping every time , better turning with the ease of touching tools up, I now have a very sharp worship . should of had something like this when I Wass I business"

By Michael stokes on 22nd June 2018
"Awesome piece of kit, easy to use and get the same angle everytime with no problems"

By David Conway on 3rd June 2018
"So glad to have purchased this piece of kit, it makes my sharpening life so much easier. Handles service was great as per usual!"

By Clive Tanner on 5th May 2018
"Really good deal as good a price anywhere but with an extra sanding belt. Excellent delivery, and cracking good machine, schew chisel grinding needs a bit of practice."

By Steve B on 28th March 2018
"Almost brilliant. all the good things that other reviewers have said are true. However, that flipping great box of electrical trickery on top of the motor is in the way. When trying to get an even grind on low angle tools such as skew chisels, that box fouls the tool handle. surely, Sorby, you could have put it round the back of the motor. The flat grind is the reason I bought the Pro Edge and it's great, but difficult to achieve with some tools. Would I recommend? For that reason alone, no.
"

By RON WALLWORK on 19th March 2018
"The Robert Sorby ProEdge Plus Deluxe Special Edition Package Deal is the best purchase I have made. British quality, accurate, can simply sharpen all the woodturning tools to the correct profiles with simple instructions. Given a set of woodturning tools in poor condition, once sharpened I was able to advance quickly and confidently due to the ProEdge. The problem with all decent sharpening systems is that you need to buy additional jigs which makes it expensive, this deal was really good value. Yandles were excellent as usual a great professional Company."

By Max Coates on 13th March 2018
"The Pro Edge has transformed my turning.The only danger is that with really sharp gouges I have a tendency to keep turning just enjoying the shavings whistle out of the gouge. It is brilliant so easy to replicate angles."

By Brian Duncan on 2nd March 2018
"Good item, happy with it"

By Martin on 28th February 2018
