Changing a Sharpening Belt
Firstly ensure the electric wall socket is switched off and remove the plug to ensure personal
safety.
Remove the two Robert Sorby t-bar screws from the belt assembly and remove the guard.
Lift the belt release lever and pull it towards the front of the system.
The belt is now free and can be removed by sliding it off the top and
bottom pulleys.
The new belt can now be fitted by sliding it over the two pulleys at
the same time, ensuring it is lined up in the centre of both pulleys.
Lift the release lever to apply the tension on the belt and return it to
its original position at the rear of the system. Replace the side guard
and secure in place with the two t-bar screws.
Return the electric plug into the wall socket and switch on. Now switch on the
ProEdge
and check
for the belt alignment. If it is not correct, adjust as described on page 9.
Choosing the Correct Sharpening Belt
Abrasive belts cut cleaner and more efficiently than a grinding wheel and will produce a much
cleaner cutting edge.
There are three options available to use with the ProEdge system.
1. Aluminium Oxide 60, 120* & 240* grit:
Ideal for sharpening woodworking
chisels, carving tools and pirons.
2. Zirconium 60* & 120 grit:
Designed for HSS tools,drill and router bits.
3. Ceramic 60 & 120 grit:
Very hard-wearing and long-lasting
suitable for heavy material removal.
4. Trizact 600, 1200, 3000 grit.
Enables knives to be sharpened to a
razor edge of 2 microns - equivalent to a disposable razor blade.
5. The diamond abrasive grain achieves outstanding results on
tungsten carbide, ceramic, glass and natural stone as well as
many other resistant materials.
