Presently I am working on a jig, pretty rough draft at this point, that will slide on the adjusting rail. Actually I am looking at having the blade run parallel to the stone and the jig to slide on the rail so I can use the entire surface and not groove. I looked at using the side of the stone but with no way of jigging or keeping the angle accurate I '86' that idea out of the box. By running parallel the stone will only contact with a small area of the blade at a time making it easier to control, and running against the rotation will speed material removal for reshaping, regrading the stone for a fine finish and moving with the direction of rotation should help finish out the blade. Thats about all I got right now, thanks for the input everyone.

General Tormek Questions / Paper cutter blades
April 18, 2014, 06:01:28 AM
I've added a Tormek to my sharpening business about a month and a half ago and still in the learning curve. My question is what would be the best way to sharpen long paper cutter blades? In the past I have used the belt to get a decent edge again but it doesn't do the bevel any good. Some that have bad nicks I would like to follow or restablish the bevel bringing it back to as close as original as possible. Any thoughts would be appreciated, I love the machine and I'm old school machinist so it's is a joy to use.
