Tools worthy of a mention.

I don't think you need a lot of power for sharpening, you won't be pushing it hard else the chisel heats up too much. I've just got a small Ryobi from Screwfix for bits and pieces, been fine.

The stone is the important bit - don't want it too coarse as they can overheat the steel and cause it to soften.  I used to use an Axminster grinder with a couple of white aluminium oxide wheels on it - one was wider than the other if I remember correctly (it got nicked).  This is their closest current offering, but looks a bit plasticky compared to the one I used to have:

They all look much of a muchness to be honest, I suppose I'll just take the plunge with what's in budget and available the quickest.

Never had a Titan grinder but their mains chainsaw is good, and their garden shredders are supposed to be...

I've got a cheapy grinder from Wickes if I remember right, and it's served me well for decades. I don't use it that much though.

Always found a belt sander is better for recovering the edge of a chisel, then onto some decently drenched wet&dry sandpaper for the final edge.

 

Or stones if you're really wanting that suicidal sharpness

Yep . A belt linsher is what I use .

I find those diamond sharpening blocks pretty damn good for chisels, planes and knives.

No argument from me, I always used stones for my knives back when I was cooking, nothing beats it. And I'm using a stone on these chisels whenever I can be arsed, but I need something quick and dirty (and efficient) for these or I'd spend as much time sharpening them as scraping the floor tiles. Which really isn't an option, seeing as we are 900 down, 5000 to go.

 

 

There we are... nearly 15m² of reclaimed teak floor, scrubbed and scraped and ready for action. Only another 80m² to go.

I was looking recently at the Axminster Ultimate Edge sharpening system, which appears to be basically a very fancy belt sander for £450.
