Hi All
I've just purchased the T8 together with the SJ250 waterstone. I've just retired here in the UK and have taken up woodworking to occupy my newly found spare time. So, I will be using the T8 to sharpen my chisels and plane irons.
Before I get started I have a simple question that I'm sure this forum will be able to answer. Once I have used the T8 I guess it is good practice to empty out and clean the water tray. After I have done that and refilled it do you recommend I raise the tray so that the waterstone is back in the water or to leave the tray lowered? Also with regard to the SJ-250 waterstone, what is the best way to store this when it is not on the T8?
Any advice regarding using the waterstones much appreciated together with any other pearls of wisdom regarding using the T8 would also be gratefully received.
