GRINDING/HONING A SMALL KNIFE BLADE
1. Loosen the two knurled screws on
the holder. Centre the tension
plate along the top edge of the
knife blade then firmly tighten the
two knurled screws to secure the
knife blade in position as in Fig 7.
2. Set the holder on the tool support
and adjust the tool support
downward so that the knife blade
lightly touches the grinding stone
or honing wheel, then temporarily
remove the holder from the tool support.
3. Turn on the grinder and grip the holder firmly. Place the holder on the tool
support and slowly move the holder back and forth along the tool support
to grind/hone the knife blade.
USING THE ANGLE GUIDE
1. The angle guide is used to
determine the cutting edge angle
of a tool. To do so, clamp the tool
into the support plate, then install
the support plate on the tool
support as shown in Fig 8.
2. Hold the angle guide with the
desired angle (as indicated on
the angle guide) at the tool tip.
3. Adjust the height of the tool
support so that the front end of the angle guide, touches the grinding
stone. Make sure the angle guide continues to touch the tool tip.
4. Once the desired angle is achieved, firmly lock the tool support in place
and remove the angle guide.
GRINDING TIPS
• After setting the angle, turn on the grinder and begin grinding
process.
• Press the tool evenly onto the grinding stone near the cutting edge,
and move the tool crosswise across the stone. Make sure that at
least half the width of the cutting edge comes into contact with the
grinding stone at any time, to avoid damage to the stone.
