It's a triangular blade 4" wide, straight edge for the work edge, wood handle.
Square edge or angled.

I have a couple of old wallpaper scrapers I would like to sharpen.
Brown wood handles and a 3 and 4" wide blade to sharpen.
What's the best way or angles please?
I have the chisel and plane jig and can fit the scrapers in it by removing the black knobs and plate and sliding blade in. This would probable let me put a sharp edge but not sure what is required?
I did wonder if I could use the square rest and sharpen a square edge as shown for a cabinet scraper on the side of stone?
Thanks

Thankyou. I was hoping to use a jig but guess I don't need to?

General Tormek Questions / Leather wheel dressing

I did read the leather honing wheel needs an oil dressing first. It mentioned an oil I have not heard off, what would be a substitute please?

Thank for the reply. I have carefully tried the wheel and guess I need the grading stone to finish off. That's the next step.

Good morning
I have just bought a s/h 1200 supergrind with a few accessories.
Cleaned and pulling it back and ready to true the wheel.

A few questions.
I bought this as I was getting frustrated trying to sharper a few wood worth chisels and I hoped to be able to make and sharpen some tooling for my metal work lathe. I seem unable to sharpen and make tools without some sort of line/ angle / jig to follow.

I think it's fine for wood work tools but realised not really suitable for tooling? Any advice please?

I think I can manage to profile the wheel but do I have to use the stone grader as I need to get one?

There is a company in the uk called Rutlands who seem to do the stones at sensible prices. Would this do?

Still confused with the black metal strip that came with it?
Also the small jig on the left of picture?

Thanks.
