Makita 9820 Electric Sharpener - Restoration of waterstone sharpening machine

This is an overview of the various parts and pieces to the legendary Makita 9820-2 sharpening machine. It can be used to sharpen anything from jointer knives to plane irons to carving tools and more. In this video, I talk about the process I went through to take a beat up, old, rusty machine and turned it into a beat up, less old, less rusty machine :) Please follow me on twitter @WonderfulWoodLife for more!

Bought one for $50 five years ago. The owner had used it to sharpen electric clipper blades for his horses lol

Haha omg, having the running water through an electric motor is unbelieveable! This could have gone really wrong. Still, 50 bucks is a great price for these. I'd really love to get one, but they're around 300 + 120 for the grinding wheel new. The Shinko is half that, so I may have to contend with that.

This thing is retail at $600 after tax right now for a plastic case with a simple motor probably worth $30. What a crazy world we live in.
