COMPLETE – Sharpening Package
The Side by Side (SBS) has been in development for over 4 years solid and is the most complete sharpening package available anywhere on the planet.
The process of properly sharpening a tool be it a ¼” bevel edge chisel or a plane iron involves a number of essential elements, all of which are cunningly stored in the SBS canvas carry/storage case.
CONTENTS:
A high tolerance machined single platform mounted with 3 grades of Diamond Stone – 300# – 600# and 1200#.
• 3 “On board” Click-on, Click-off, Magnetic Leather Strop Covers – 2 different Leathers Firm and Soft.
• 3 Uniquely formulated grades of Polishing Wax 1800# – 2500# and 5000#.
• 1 30ml Fully synthetic diamond lapping fluid.
• Diamond Stone Cleaning Block.
• All this SBS goodness arrives in a bespoke tough Canvas Storage Case.
EASIER TO USE – plain and simple
Compared to using a traditional double sided 8” diamond stone, where you set up to use one side/grade, mount it in the stone holder, use it, clean it off, re-set it to the other grade, place it back into the stone holder and start again. The SBS is on your bench ready to go.. instantly offering 3 grades of diamond to sharpen on.
The SBS is als2022o the first diamond stone that’s fitted with 3 leather topped magnetic protective covers with 2 different grades of leather – Firm and Soft.
So 3 grade sharpening is followed by 3 strop finishing. All without moving from the job.
The List of Firsts is Long
First 3 grade 8” Diamond Stone – 300# – 600# and 1200# with 3 grades of Polishing Wax 1800# – 2500# and 5000#.
First Diamond Stone with easily replaceable diamond surfaces.
First Diamond Stone to have an “On board” built in Leather Strop Cover. Well actually three.
First Diamond Stone with an inter connected nonlinear diamond recess pattern for excellent swarf removal.
First Diamond Stone with a base larger in size than the diamond surface for “improved stability”.
Stropping versus Waterstones
So much has been written and argued over preferred methods of sharpening.
However most agree that the majority of the process is best carried out on an 8” Diamond Stone.
The main divide comes with the finishing process, some favour fine grade waterstones, others favour stropping the blade.
We could find no discernible evidence indicating a superior finish with either process.
Given that our decision to offer the stropping option was made on the following:
Levels of convenience, cost, space taken up and mess created.
The regular maintenance of waterstones requires additional equipment in a lapping plate to regularly flatten the waterstone.
Waterstone storage require submersion in water with all the inherent mess associated.
There’s no definitive right or wrong however we’re firmly “stroppy rather than messy”.
Manufacturing Process
MPOWER has developed a unique process in manufacturing diamond stones.
6 years ago we pioneered the use of high tolerance aluminium extruded cores with 3M adhesive bonded electro plating diamond plates as the surface.
Resulting in the flattest diamond stones available with a tolerance of +/- 0.00175”
Made in the UK
Each Side by Side is made in our factory in Salisbury Wiltshire UK.
During manufacture every stone undergoes 11 different QA tests to ensure that each one meets the very highest standards possible.
There’s nothing unique about the long list of tools that can be sharpened using the SBS.
- Any size of bevel edged chisel.
- Carving tools.
- Plane blades or Irons.

Don Lewis –
Finally Everything I need o put a precise edge on tools is on one convenient platform that can be easily stowed away when not in use. The surfaces are large enough to be precise and accommodate jigs while sharpening. It is compact enough to fit on a busy bench when and while it is needed. Setting up to sharpen is no longer an exercise in gathering the right stones, truing them, and trying to keep them all together. I like this system.
David Lowery –
I just got mine Haven’t used it yet. But it looks like a nice setup. And very affordable!
Joe –
Sharpening system has been as advertised! I don’t have any complaints whatso ever. Sharpened my chisels and they came out super sharp.
Ty –
This is an extremely well built tool so far. The diamonds are aggressive in the beginning as expected so I am hoping with use this will even out and make a long lasting sharpening system. For planes and chisels this works better than my own whetstone jig – nothing to set up at all.
Please be aware of the following! Due to the closeness of the middle stone this is unusable to sharpen most all knives and router bits. I am “training” the stones to be used always on the right side (so flipped when working up grits) so the outer grits can still be used however. The stropping plates can be rearranged so this also is not an issue. I rarely need to go down to a 600# anyway and if I do I’ll get my single purpose whetstone out on that grade.
Overall fantastic, as long as you also understand it’s design limitation. For the money it can’t be beat!
Ed Wafford –

Very handy device to have in the shop – I use this silly thing all the time, especially for laying out evenly spaced screw holes. It has a number of other uses, as well.

M O. –
Well made – quality product. I will use this frequently
W.T.T –
Just what I was looking for. – Combined with thin metal rules of 18″, 36″, and 48″ I should be able to scribe arcs and circles of any size that I wish in metal or wood.
Eric T –
Awesome – Perfect never thought I’d find such a tool, then I stumbled upon this ingenious device.
Mike H –
Making the average joe a professional – great tool to get the correct line to make flush panels.
Tyler –
Awesome tool – I have an old house with walls that aren’t always the straightest. Fitting my kitchen would have been a nightmare without the Profile Scriber. Thanks Garrett Wade!
Michael W Garner –
PB Review – Essential Marker – I had to mark cuts on tiles to go around the bowl in our bathroom. I would hate to have had to attempt the job without this marker.
Jeff Philp –
SBS Review – A good quality product that delivers superb results and it’s really easy to use thanks to a very well thought out design, the whole package just works. Delighted with my purchase.
Bob Christenson –
SBS Review – This product is of excellent quality and workmanship that results in sharp tools. It is easy to use. The design is well thought out and the material selection keeps the product light but sturdy. Being able to put it away in a storage case with all of the accessories in the event that I need to carry it someplace is an added bonus.
Well done!
Steve Cottrell –
SBS Review – A beautiful setup. I’ve been sharpening everything in sight since I received it a few days ago. Really well made and the carrying bag was a nice surprise.
