Today, I was sharpening some new chisels. Setting the primary bevel for the first time takes some time (they are carbon steel, so I didn't want to start with a high speed grinder). Even though I was often refreshing the stone with the SP-650 stone grader, it was taking a really, really long time.
So, I tried Ken's recommendation of using the TT-50 to freshen the stone. What a difference that made !! I was able to get done in time for dinner.
So, Ken, thank you for setting me straight.
Kind regards,
Rich
Thanks for the compliment, Rich. It sounds like you and I learn the same way.
Starting after a light truing cut, you can develop a feel for the sound and tactile feedback of good grinding. When you do not get this feedback, you will know your Tormek is not operating properly.
