"Being new to wood turning, I had been sharpening my chisels on a grindstone. 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 ! "

"the Robert Sorby Deluxe became over the years "a standard" within the woodturners, with the special edition package deal my pupils get a complete machine for a very good price !"
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."

"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. "

"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 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

"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.

"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

"Yandles's website and ordering process was very user friendly and the item was delivered on time and safely packed. The proedge was easy to set up, does not take up too space in my small workshop and is a delight to use. It has made sharpening my turning tools incredibly simple. I highly recommend the company and the sharpener."

"The Robert Sorby ProEdge plus was something I was looking at for some time, having used my Grinding wheel for some time to sharpen my turning chisels ,I found the ProEdge a delite to use, I actually enjoy now taking the time to sharpen my tools, makes turning so much more enjoyable too, I cant recommend the ProEdge enough, if your thinking about buying, then buy with confidence that this will do what it says it will do, buy from Yandles was also a pleasure , they gave a competitive price that was hard to beat, fantastic after sales service too."
