HONING TOOLS
SAFETY - The abrasive belt should be removed before using the honing wheel to reduce the
number of moving parts. Ensure the electric wall socket is switched off to ensure personal safety.
Ideal for honing the flutes of carving chisels and other gouges this rubberised abrasive wheel
can be shaped to suit the tool to be sharpened.
Fitting the arbour and wheel
Undo and remove the two t-bar screws and remove the side guard from the
belt assembly then remove the belt as described on page 12.
Place the arbour against the accessory hub and secure with the three screws.
Remove the nut, place the wheel over the arbour and replace the nut securing
the wheel up to the shoulder.
Using the Honing Wheel
The outside face and the outer diameter of the wheel can be used to achieve
the high polish that is required. As the wheel is manufactured in a rubber
compound it is easy to shape the edge using a sharp tool or abrasive paper
such as the belts from the
ProEdge
. This is ideal for honing the flutes of gouges.
When sharpening tools on the outside diameter ensure
that the cutting edge is facing away from the direction of
rotation so it is recommended that the tool is underneath
the wheel. When using the face of the wheel to flat hone the bevel of any tool
always use the bottom portion to avoid the tool cutting edge digging into the
wheel.
Polishing Tools and Wooden Projects
SAFETY - The abrasive belt should be removed (see page 12) before using the buffing mop to reduce
moving parts. Ensure the electric wall socket is switched off and the plug is removed to ensure
personal safety. Please remove the cotton buffing mop when using the abrasive belt due to the
potential fire risk from sparks.
Fitting the Pigtail Mandrel and Mop
Unscrew and remove the two t-bar screws and remove the side guard from the
belt assembly, then remove the belt as described on page 12. Place the mandrel
against the accessory hub and secure with the three screws. The mop has a
thick leather washer on one side and a fibre washer on the other holding the
loose leaves together.
Screw the leather washer side onto the mandrel to ensure a good tight fit.
