## Overview

The Taytools 279205 kit combines three dead-flat 5/16" float glass plates with seven sheets of premium 3M microfinishing film ranging from 0.3 to 40 microns. Designed for the Scary Sharp sharpening method, this system offers a durable, cost-effective alternative to traditional stones, delivering consistent, razor-sharp edges on knives and woodworking tools with minimal maintenance and easy film replacement.

## Description

This is a Scary Sharp Sharpening kit with three sheets 5/16 inch float glass and 7 sheets microfinishing film. The Scary Sharp Sharpening Method is an approach to sharpening edge tools that is fast, effective, consistent and very cost effective. Instead of using conventional, more expensive and messy oil, water or diamond stones, the Scary Sharp Method uses specialized microfinishing or lapping film that is adhered to hard, flat substrates. High quality Aluminum Oxide, Silicon Carbide or Diamond films can be procured for a reasonable cost per sheet. Float glass is considered the preferred substrate as it is “dead flat”. Pressure Sensitive Adhesive (PSA) sheets are recommended as they can be easily applied to glass or granite. Fresh lapping film will cut faster than most sharpening stones and is easily and quickly replaced when dull. Unlike traditional water or oil stones, no maintenance is required since the glass will not hollow from prolonged use. The Scary Sharp Method will quickly sharpen any knife or cutting tool with excellent and consistent results. This lapping film has a 3 mil high-strength polyester film backing which is less likely to tear than traditional wet or dry sandpaper. This lapping film also has pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) backing. The sheets are not marked so using their color is the only accurate way to identify them. Grading is as follows: 1) 0.3 micron (white) or 60.000 grit 2) 1 micron (light green) or 14,000 grit 3) 3 micron (pink) or 8,000 grit 4) 9 micron (light blue) or 1800 grit 5) 12 micron (yellow) or 1200 grit 6) 30 micron (green) or 600 grit and 7) 40 micron (blue) or 300 grit. In the finer grits, it can be difficult to differentiate the abrasive side from the backing. The abrasive side will always have a matte finish, where the film backing side will be glossy.

Review: Worked Well on HR-62 chisels - I normally use a combination of diamond (DMT Dia-Sharp) and ceramic (Shapton HR) stones to lap and sharpen chisels and plane blades, but decided to try these after reading some reviews and watching a demo. I was most interested in the white 0.3 micron (60,000 grit) and light green 1.0 micron (14,000 grit) to substitute for the ceramic stones (intend to continue using the diamond stones). I also used the pink 3.0 micron (8,000 grit) to compare to my diamond 8,000 grit. I used a plastic putty knife to squeegee the water / air out from under the films when mounting. I started with a new chisel that I lapped first with the diamond stones to 8,000 grit. Switched to these using the pink (8,000 grit). First observation is that these cut slower than the diamonds, as expected. Second observation is that the 8,000 grit film actually resulted in a smoother, shinier surface (went back to the 8,000 diamond to confirm). I may continue to use the 8,000 film after the 8,000 diamond to make the 14,000 film a little faster. Switched to 16,000 grit ceramic, then to the 14,000 grit film. Alternated for comparison. Again, the ceramic cut faster. With the naked eye, no appreciable difference in the finish, though the 16,000 ceramic probably produced a little more polished finish. Switched to the white (60,000 grit) film. Took a little time, wish they had a 30,000 grit between the 14,000 and 60,000. Definitely resulted in a much more polished, near-mirror, finish. Followed the same process on the beveled edge. Result is an extremely sharp chisel without stropping. After stropping, couldn't tell the difference in sharpness, but will continue to strop out of habit. I use a mix of water and Dawn dishwashing soap to lift the metal filings on all of the stones/films. The films stayed in place on the glass. Other observations. * Be patient when lapping, get it flat. The time and effort is usually a one-time investment that will pay dividends every time you sharpen the tool. * Like others have said, be nice if the set came with 4 glass plates so all 7 films could be mounted. * Don't lose the paper that comes with the set unless you can remember the grits. The films are not marked other than color. You could mark the glass. * The set came with 3 rubber no-slip mats to place under the glass plates. Useful for storage also. * I would prefer the film be the same size as the glass, particularly for knives. (for replacement film, you can get 8 1/2 x 11 sheets and cut to fit) * If you need to sharpen knives, mount the film to one edge of the glass, otherwise you can't sharpen the whole blade. * I did successfully pull a film off (very careful not to crease) and re-mount it to the edge of the glass. Don't recommend removal/remount. * The box that the items came in was marked "Glass, Handle with Care". Unfortunately, the box was put in a plastic envelope that was not marked "Handle with Care." Fortunately, the glass was wrapped nicely in foam sheets and survived the postal service. * These won't replace my coarser grit diamond stones because of the speed of cutting and durability of the diamond stones. If I didn't already own the diamond stones and was concerned about cost, would consider these instead. * As my other "good" chisels and plane blades need work on the stones, will use these to polish the backs and finish the edges. * Will lap my knock-around tools, but probably won't go to the effort on the bevels (not good enough steel to hold the edge long anyway). * Haven't used enough to comment on durability, but they are a lot cheaper than ceramic stones of 16,000 / 30,000 grit, and don't need periodic flattening.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dead Flat. Great Price. Works.
*by J***S on February 17, 2021*

Great product at a great price. I don’t know why people use sharpening stones. The glass is dead flat, the paper is super easy to apply, and it’s a fraction of the cost of a set of stones. I paired this with the Verona’s MKII honing guide and my chisels are wicked sharp. My only complaint is that the paper isn’t labeled with the grit. The instruction sheet that’s included contains that info, but it’s a bit of a nuisance.
