Refer to
Appendix C: General Sharpening Procedures
(excerpted from
The Complete Guide To Sharpening
by
Leonard Lee, available from The Taunton Press) for an
explanation of sharpening principles. If you prefer to jump
right in and learn as you go, reading
Quick Start
should
enable you to do so. Otherwise, for a full explanation of
how the system works, proceed to
Tool Registration
.
Quick Start
•
Set up the tool to be sharpened as shown in
Figure 8
.
Extend the cutting edge of the tool using the registration
jig as shown to ensure it projects the correct amount
from the tool holder.
• Set the tool guide to the desired bevel angle,
anywhere from 15° to 45°. The included Veritas
®
Bevel Gauge (shown in
Figure 1
) will help you
to determine the initial bevel angle of any of your
tools, from 15° to 45° in 5° increments.
•
Place the thicker (4mm) platter on the turntable with
either the 80x or 100µ face up, secure it with the
platter retention thumbscrew, and turn the power on.
•
Engage the tool holder with the tool guide rod and
apply the bevel edge of the blade to the turntable at
the right of the center. Position the tool as shown
in
Figure 9
while moving the blade back and forth
and applying a consistent pressure downward on
the turntable. Check results often, stopping once
the primary bevel is established.
Note:
Make sure the blade does not contact
the platter retention thumbscrew while the
sharpening system is turned on.
•
Turn power off, switch to the thinner (3mm) platter
with the 9µ abrasive facing up and repeat the previous
step. It should take only about 1 to 3 seconds of
grinding to achieve a satisfactory micro-bevel.
• Remove the wire edge formed when grinding by
applying the back of the blade flat against the 9µ
abrasive while the turntable is rotating. Position the
blade to make a leading cut as shown in
Figure 10
. If
you feel uncomfortable doing this, turn the power off
and do so as if using a stone.
