Laser line guide for freehand sharpening

[Antz]

Thank you all for your words of encouragement. I'll continue to try and find logical solutions to everyday challenges and share my findings in hopes it can help others.

John, that's exactly the type of situation I think a laser could be useful. It could even be used when doing guided jig sharpening with a pivot collar and not necessarily just for freehand. Or like some YouTube vids I watched last night it can be used with a tool rest for just some added guidance.

Thanks
Antz

Once you have been sharpening for a while you will learn to do the same thing with the water going over the edge. I learned by keeping a straight line of water as my hand position changed. A laser guide would be accurate and easy to follow.
