sharpening troubleshooting:
8.
If the tip of the bit is turning blue, it is
a.
overheating. Reduce the amount of
pressure and sharpening time. Cool bit
in water between sharpening.
If one edge is longer than the other,
b.
and the point is not centered, sharpen
the shorter side for a little less time. To
prevent this from happening, sharpen
both sides the same amount of time,
using the same amount of pressure.
If you are sharpening a broken (rather
c.
than a dull bit) and the time required to
get a sufficient edge is too long, rough
the bit into shape first using a bench
grinder.

adjusting the grinding Wheel
Turn the ADJUSTING KNOB (1) to the
1.
right to raise the wheel. This will give you
an aggressive cutting action. This is also
useful when you are working with short
bits.
Lower the wheel by turning the KNOB to
2.
the left. This is desirable when you wish
a finer ground edge, though it will take
longer and require more repetitions.
