After covering safety, wheel selection, and tool geometries, Kurt shows his technique for sharpening scrapers |
With identical wheels, the grinder has one rest set for scrapers and one rest set for gouges |
He demonstrates the use of a diamond wheel dresser to dress the grinding wheels |
Kurt expains his wheel selection and reasons for having fixed rests for the bulk of his tools |
|
|
|
|
|
With one side for all of his scrapers, the other side will sharpen almost all of his gouges |
The only real test for tools is how they cut |
For special grinds, i.e. fingernail, etc., Kurt uses the Oneway Wolverine System |
He demonstrates the technique for adjusting and checking the Oneway settings |
|
|
|
|
|
Another specialty grinding situation, the Ellsworth or Irish grind, requires a special holder along with the Oneway Wolverine |
With the tool in the jig, Kurt shows his method for adjusting the rest position |
The Ellsworth grind requires a long continuous sweep to each side |
Kurt demonstrates his method for putting the initial grind on a skew chisel |
|
|
|
|
|
After the initial hollow grinding, the skew can be sharpened for a long time using only a diamond hone |
Having shown the honing technique for ring tools, Kurt shows the proper use of this widely misunderstood tool |
After fielding questions, the demonstration comes to an end |
During the cleanup, Kurt answers a few last questions |
