Ken, using a coarse grindingstone I'd imagine you produce a serious burr. Don't you wear away your leather honing that rough stuff?

Thank's a lot, Ken. I suspect that you are Swedish, and I am Norwegian, but for the sake of the international community we'll stick to English.

Yes I've got the user manual together with the complete T7 package. Burr, I'll remember that! In Norwerian: grad.

Best regards

Hi Ken,

Thanks for replying.

My English vocabulary in this field is not very great: When you sharpen a steel edge on the rotating sharpening stone you get this rough steel "fringe" or what you call it, on the other side of the edge. If you try to rid this fringe by honning away from the edge on the honning wheel, my experience is that the fringe just jumps over to the other side of the edge. This goes on and on, and you really never get rid of it. To get rid of it you need a honning stone and you need to hon towards the edge. Does this make any sense to you?

What is a good procedure for honning a HSS planer blade after sharpening with the Blackstone?
