The Original FASTTRACK Chisel Sharpener
MPOWER launched the Original FASTTRACK Mk1 in 2004. In that time we’ve made and sold over 100’000 of them. Along the way we received great feedback from our customers and perfected the improvements now featured in the NEW FTS Mk2. Remaining at its heart, the ability to repeatedly create a super sharp, flat ground, square edge chisel and plane blade in a few minutes.
New BAR Recess Diamond Stones
The design of the Diamond Stone recess pattern has followed the rest of our sharpening range, starting with DMT Polka dots, progressing through to our own Diamond Cross recess. However, FASTTRACK’s requirements are different to the rest of our range.
The FASTTRACK sharpens laterally (side to side) with the stone operating at an almost inverted angle.
Recognising this led to an upgrade; a unique interrupted surface designed specifically for the FASTTRACK. The clearance or evacuation channels now run top to bottom when in position on the Carriage. Combine that with a lubricant and good old gravity and the sharpening swarf drains from the surface more quickly which in turn keeps the stone cleaner for longer maintaining abrasive rates. In short, it’s much better!
The FASTTRACK is so simple to use, chisel in, and sharpen… Plane blade in, and sharpen. There’s NO set-up time.. No complicated attachments and No experience needed. Just place the FASTTRACK down on a suitable surface and start sharpening.
The FASTTRACK’s just as ‘at home’ on-site as in your workshop. Whether you’re a total beginner or the most discerning of professionals MPOWER’s FASTTRACK Mk2 will deliver the perfect sharpening angle for an excellent edge again and again.
The Complete Sharpening Kit
Over the last 15 years we’ve added all sorts of accessories to the FASTTRACK, Developed our own brand of diamond stones, different grades of stones, 2.5 degree Angled Stones, Storage cases etc etc.
Now all the goodness has been combined into one complete bundled kit at an excellent price.

So what’s the problem?
Traditionally chisels and plane blades are sharpened using a combination of either an oilstone, waterstone or diamond stone with a jig that holds the tool to be sharpened at the correct honing angle, many sharpening systems require a second jig to accurately set the angle of the first jig. This represents a sufficient deterrent to prevent workshop based woodworkers taking 20 minutes out of their project time to get any kind of edge let alone a decent one on their chisels; and what of the professional “On site” carpenter, do they really have the space or inclination to carry that kind of sharpening system with them? A system that the average home renovator would struggle to even set up in the first place?
2. The simple sharpening solution
The FASTTRACK Precision Sharpening System is a unique solution that holds the blade to be sharpened stationary and its angle constant while a diamond stone is guided across the cutting edge (at a 90° angle to the tool’s normal cutting direction) at either 25°, 27.5°, 30° or 32.5°, depending on your application, making the bevel flat and the edge true, lasting, and requiring only minimal maintenance unless chipped or neglected. We’ve included Preparation and Finishing Diamond stones so you can start low to gain that super fine edge that makes a cutting tool a pleasure to use. The instructions provided will have you putting a razor edge on your chisels and plane irons within a few minutes of opening the package.
4 SHARPENING ANGLES
The newly re-designed solid Aluminium diamond stone holding carriage doubles the number of sharpening angles than the original. This in turn doubles the life of your chisels and plane blades by allowing over 20 chisel re-sharpens between primary re-grinds. The angles are coded 1,2,3 and 4 making it simple to move from one sharpening angle to the next.
CENTER IT CLIP – Get the blade in the middle
The most important development is the “Center It Clip that re-locates a chisel in the middle of the tool bed. This reduces the pressure needed to hold the chisel during sharpening; but it also prevents the carriage coming off the end of the base. So it increases the length of the sharpening stroke, making the sharpening process quicker.
ERGONOMIC CARRIAGE
The new carriage is much more comfortable to use with curved ergonomic handle ends to more naturally fit the hand. Especially noticeable after an ALL chisel honing session when you could be using the FASTTRACK for a 30 minute set.

Is it normal that my chisel ends up with a skew with the right side being higher?
No, slow your stroke speed down and ensure the carriage and base dovetails remain in contact for the entire stroke cycle. This will ensure the chisel tip squares up.
Can I use this on skew chisels?
No, they are not compatible with the Fasttrack.

fast track mk2 review
Quick and easy perfect for on site or home although I do like the option of hand or tool
sean2k1 –
Handy bit of kit
Perfect for site joiner want to quickly easily put sharp edge on chisel. But before take it on site I’d spend hour or to at home set the right angle on all your chisel. So when it comes to sharping on site it only takes min or 2

excellent aid.
An excellent aid. I never used to need one of these but with increased age my eyesight is not good enough for really high precision. This clever device compensates very well for my failing. Works well, good design, robust and well fit for the purpose.
Paulbry78 –
Well designed and very useful product.
I have never been that good at sharpening chisels and plane blades. This trend sharpener works really well. Very easy to set up, and with some work it produces very good results. It is not a magic solution, you still need to put in a fair amount of ‘elbow grease’ to get good results, but it is simple to use, and saved a chisel that I had managed to ruin with bad sharpening.

First I have to say that the shipping was phenomenal. That was some fast shipping to say the least. I have wanted one of these for a long time, and the opportunity came and it was for the new and improved MK2, so I took the chance and got one. Let me be clear that I watched a few YouTube videos on how to use this and it was worth the watch. Now then…I have only sharpened 2 of my worst dinged up chisels (ones that have been used like a screw driver) and let me tell you that they have NEVER been this sharp. It took me awhile (approx 1 1/2 hr per chisel) to get them where they are now, but the MK2 made it a pleasure to sharpen them. I would wholeheartedly recommend this to anyone. It was impressive and that takes a lot to impress me.

“This is by far the easiest and fast way to keep your tools sharp. I keep it handy, so when I reach for chisel I can give it a few swipes and I know it is sharp”
Gary – Via Amazon USA –
Definitely worth it! – I’m a new wood worker and just getting into sharpening my tools. It’s always been a little intimidating to sharpen on just a wet stone or other jigs but using the Fasttrack is a breeze. Very simple and quick. Their customer service is top notch too!
Piero P – Infinity Cutting Tools –
“Simple to use and a great necessity to solve a big problem: how to quickly sharpen tools while on the go. They can be sharpened and tuned finely later with more time, but if you need to get something sharp as you’re working on your projects, this is fantastic.”
Bill C – Infinity Cutting Tools –
“Works great”
