Using the Accessories
The relevant jigs fit into the slot of the tool platform. This allows the jig to slide from side to side
so that all of the sharpening belt can be utilised.
The accessories marked * are included in the
ProEdge
Plus.
Sharpening a Skew Chisel
The skew chisel needs to be extremely sharp to work correctly and safely,
using the skew jig* makes this achievable in seconds.
Tilt the belt assembly backwards as instructed on page 10.
Now set the angle setter (page 11) to the top hole (15 degrees) or the
desired angle and re-tighten using the locking lever.
The tool platform is now set to the desired angle and the
skew jig can be placed as shown.
Ensure there is nothing to obstruct the jig from sliding
sideways.
Switch on the
ProEdge
and ensure the belt is aligned
correctly. If it is not then refer to page 9 ‘Abrasive belt
alignment’.
If the belt is correctly aligned, place the skew onto the jig as shown and slowly push the skew chisel
forward so that it makes contact with the belt.
Hold the skew chisel against the jig to maintain the correct cutting angle and slowly slide the jig and
skew chisel side to side moving across the width of the belt.
When the first side has
been sharpened turn the
skew over and place it
against the other side of
the jig and continue as
before, until the tool is
razor sharp.
