"on the fly" Tormek use

[Ken S]

I enjoy sharpening chisels with the SG grinding wheel. I enjoy the sound and feel of the stone with the high carbon steel chisel. I enjoy the sensory differences when the stone is graded fine. I like to see the sharp edge evolve, just as I have always enjoyed photographic prints come to life in the developer tray. The whole process is very satisfying.

I have also given an edge a quick tune up, using just the leather honing wheel with whatever honing compound  remained. I have recently discovered that by leaving the  dry 180 grit CBN wheel in place, I can do a respectable quick sharpening job on a chisel "on the fly" (an English idiom meaning hurredly without stopping). A quick follow up with the leather honing wheel makes a surprising difference.

This does not render a proper Tormek edge, but is very close, and, as Alan Holtham might say, is "very quick".
