Hi. Perpetual newbie here. I have spokeshave blade that needs sharpening. I was thinking of using the SE-76, square edge jig to do so but the blade is carbon steel.
Can I sharpen carbon steel on the Tormek or do I need to use the slow grinder (dry)? I have the last set-up per Tormek's instructions to accept the jigs.
Also, not sure yet if the SE-76 will accept the short blade of the spokeshave. I'll check it out tomorrow.
Thank you.
Yes, the Tormek is perfect for carbon steel.
The handbook shows specific instructions for short tools in the SE-76.
Fabulous!!!!! Thank you!
Elizabeth, Ron Hock's book, The Perfect Edge, has a well written section on different steels and how they sharpen. It is also a solid foundation book on sharpening. Ron is a veteran blade maker.
