Title: DIamond wheels and axes
Post by: Sigah on December 02, 2023, 09:54:43 PM
Hello!

I recently purchased the Tormek T-8 Black and prior to using it, have read as much as i could on how to go about sharpening with a diamond wheel. Light pressure seems to be the name of the game.

However, when sharpening an axe with the SVA-170, my understanding is that you need to put some pressure on the axe to allow the jig to do it's job properly. This makes it quite hard to achieve a consistent angle, as i try to apply as little pressure as possible since that's what i've read you should do when sharpening with a diamond wheel.
Does anyone have experience sharpening axes on diamond wheels, and would care to tell me their method?

Thanks,

Sigah
