Dear Al, (a testimonial for you) I purchased the AV-40 package with some hesitation because of the price (very cheap in comparison to other machines), however I could not have been more wrong. The AV-40 does exactly what you say it will and more. After I sharpened some of my own tools I now offer a first blade sharpening free service (only to large companies) and the reaction from my customers has all been the same. THESE BLADES ARE NOW SHARPER THAN WHEN THEY WERE NEW. I still carry out my full time job as a kitchen fitter and do the sharpening evenings and on weekends because the sharpening time is so quick. Since purchasing the machine I realize just how badly my own blades were being sharpened by other companies.
PS. The AV-40 is now called my retirement fund manager.
