5. Operating the Wet Grinder

5.1 Basic Sharpening Principles

• Always sharpen against the direction of rotation of the grinding stone. This creates a burr on the opposite side of the edge, which is then removed during honing.
• Handhaaf 'n konstante hoek dwarsdeur die slypproses.
• Apply light, even pressure. Excessive pressure can damage the tool or the grinding stone.

5.2 Using the Universal Grinding Jig (Device 70)

The universal grinding jig is essential for achieving precise and repeatable sharpening angles for various tools, such as chisels and plane irons.

1. Mount the tool securely in the jig.
2. Adjust the jig's position on the support bar to achieve the desired sharpening angle. Use the angle gauge for accuracy.
3. Turn on the grinder.
4. Gently bring the tool's edge into contact with the rotating whetstone, ensuring the water keeps the stone wet.
5. Move the tool smoothly from side to side across the stone to ensure even wear and a consistent edge.
6. Continue until a burr forms along the entire length of the edge.

5.3 Honing with the Leather Wheel

After grinding, the leather honing wheel removes the burr and polishes the edge to razor sharpness.

1. Apply a small amount of honing paste evenly to the leather wheel.
2. With the grinder running, gently press the burr side of the tool against the rotating leather wheel.
3. Move the tool across the wheel, applying light pressure, until the burr is completely removed and the edge is polished.
4. Repeat on the other side of the edge if necessary.
