Instructions
Use the cones in a drill press or your morticer if you have
a chuck adaptor (a handheld drill is neither suitable nor
safe). Clamp the bit vertically and securely, or drill a hole in
a block of wood the same diameter as the chisel’s shank.
The chisel must be held firmly and perpendicular.
Fasten the coarse cone in the chuck and align it with the
chisel so it centres exactly in the end of the chisel, do
this BEFORE switching on. Running at low speed (150 to
250rpm), gently lower the cone until it just makes contact
with the mortice bit. Carefully grind until you obtain a
clean surface around the entire bevel. Replace it with the
350-grit cone and repeat the process, lightly honing the
inside bevel. Use a fine flat stone lap the sides of the bit to
remove any burrs.
Maintenance

see fig 31 then very carefully adjust the two gib strip
screws (B), see fig 32.
NOTE: make small adjustments, turning the operating
wheel until the table slides smoothly across, but not too
much causing the table to tighten or jam.
When you feel the slide play has been eliminated, tighten
the two locking Hex bolts (A) to secure the setting.
