What happens here
Before sharpening the chisel, the presenter marks the cutting edge with a blue marker. This visual aid helps to ensure that the entire bevel is being sharpened evenly. He then uses the sharpening system, powered by the Milwaukee impact driver and equipped with the sandpaper, to grind the chisel's edge. Sparks are observed, and the marker lines are removed, indicating that the tool is being sharpened effectively.
Goal: Sharpen the chisel to a fine, usable edge
