Trick to Keep Down Water Spillage

[Kevin]

When cleaning up the tool sharpener, the water tray has to be emptied.  When the water tray is removed, the water that soaked into the stone drips on the table and creates a mess.

There is a trick to keep this water spillage to a minimum.

Stop the motor.  Lower the water tray.  Turn on the motor to spin the stone.  Remove the water tray.  Empty the water (not in the sink).  Place the tray under the stone.  Turn off the motor.

The water has a harder time dripping off the stone if the stone is spinning.
