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.
Diamond Sharpening Set 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 also 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”.
Unique 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 Diamond Stone 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.

Barry Dodd –
I have used the Fastback MK2 chisel sharpener for several years. In fact, I wore it out so I purchased the SBS Triple Diamond Sharpening Set. I also purchased the Goingmake sharpening guide system to use with the SBS Triple. I must say the SBS Triple is a remarkable diamond sharpening system. After sharpening seven bench chisels and two hand plane irons several times over the past few days, I can say it sharpened them better than anything I have ever used. The diamond grits are just right and the lapping boards puts that extra clean sharp edge that’s so hard to achieve.
To make things even better and put an exclamation point on the company’s integrity, MPower totally replaced the Fastback MK2, I had worn out, for free. I wish other companies would stand behind there products as MPower. I could not be happier with their products and integrity.
With smiles,
Barry

Very solidly built, and easy to use. When sharpening isn’t convenient, it doesn’t always get done. This solves that problem with style.

As a passionate woodworker, I’m thrilled with MPOWER’s SBS. It has revolutionized my sharpening routine.
The SBS is incredibly durable, with easily replaceable diamond surfaces and a 10-year guarantee, giving me peace of mind. It comes with everything I need—three grades of diamond stones, leather strop covers, polishing wax, lapping fluid, and a cleaning block, all in a sturdy canvas case.
Using the SBS is effortless. It sits ready on my bench. No more constant setup and cleaning.
For anyone serious about sharpening, the SBS Diamond Stone is a game-changer. I couldn’t be happier with it!
Robert (PopPop) Walker –
Sharpened several chisels but have not done a plane blade yet. So far, very satisfied. I have always used water stones but the diamond stones seem to be much better.
Bottom line – I’m very happy with my SBS sharpening station.
Thanks, MPower

Jim Anderson –
I am a long time MPower user, so as soon as I saw these, I had to order them. I am so glad I did. Simple to use and they do a fantastic job at an unbeatable price. I have spent thousands of dollars on various stones and sharpening machines, but this will replace them all.
Jimmie Sodowsky –
Excellent set, just what I needed as am tired of messing with stones and the messes.; very complete; great people to work with..
Mark Johnson –
This is a terrific kit, encompassing everything I need to keep my chisels and plane irons sharp. No more searching around for pieces and parts, everything is together in the ballistic case. This system is worth every penny.

I have purchased a few tools from MPower the years and have been very satisfied with their quality, performance and value. So when I saw their new sharpening station I was intrigued. I know, as do all woodworkers, that sharp tools are required for quality work, but I’ve always been poor at sharpening my chisels and plane irons. As soon as I received my new MPower sharpening station I pulled out all my tools and began the sharpening process. I have never experienced such an easy sharpening process, and my chisels and planes have never performed as well as they are now. I have finally found a way to quickly sharpen my tools that doesn’t make me come up with excuses to put the process off to another day.

The Sharpening Station is a really good all-in-one product, at a reasonable price. The free shipping was quicker than I expected. I’ve already tossed out most of my other sharpening stones. And I’ll definitely be buying more products from MPOWER.
