I would put money on radio controlled plane Heli drone

Hi I am a retired Joiner, Been sharpening tools over 50 years. You will find its not just the grinder you look at nowadays there are jigs & tools to be add. I used a 6" grinder for the 25 Deg then an oil stone to at 30 Deg to sharpen. Was happy doing this. Today I have taken on a lathe & tools...

if you put a straight edge on the grind lathe chisel > Tip = Cutting edge edge, To the heel. or & on a flat chisel both ways from tip to heel & from left to right 1/2 way

Have you not got a bump in the middle of the grind mud

All now Phil. Flat chisels. Plane irons. Lathe tools.

guarantee Depends on what stone you have on & what Finnish you want. I have used a 6" dry grind for all my irons much faster but does heat the metal Evan a little bit of heat no matter how meticulous I took it. In my retirement I got a cheep wet stone FB Market Place just to give it a go...

I have had the Robert Sorby lasted with me few weeks, Then sold it. Very good idea but lots of work need to be Dunn before it comes up to match. Im wet grinding at the mo match better than the RS. But a bit slower. If you don't want to muck about get a Tormax T8 & there jigs & leather buffers...

The Back Plate needs adjusting as far back as you can.

Same here lofty. But just started lathing in my retirment & finding out about all this new sharpening ideas, Got me curios & went for a wet wheel cheep market place one, Must say I liked it especially with the jigs of today, No more hot metal/worm or at least bluing. Which led me to Robert...

I agree Tormek are a bit more expensive than all others. But I think you can do this when you are the best. I used my RS without the side plate "Not recommended" & yes if you leave the plate off will make changing faster. Have you ever put a straight edge on the grind From cutting edge to heal...

By the way if you don't use your Tomek are you selling it what model & price.

Water over flowing = Motor running to fast. or over filling. I take it you never had the drip tray?? as a safegard. To re profile change grits. I agree a couple of minutes @ least to change a belt on the RS then you may need to track the belt. Tormax Stone off 20 seconds. New stone on 25 seconds...

Yep I agree & That's what im doing right now. The answer of case is swop the stone to a more grit stone, It so easy. Def : lot easier than swopping a belt on a RS. No playing about trying to get the belt in the middle,

Hi My. Hope you haven't waisted your money on the RS nothing but pain in the ars. I got one because they state "FLAT GRIND" I could not get a flat grind, made a post on here & found many were the same & some said they do get a flat grind. Then came back to the post afterwords & said " Funny a...

I found to make the belt equal to the rollers, Then slightly tighten = just slightly tighten. found if you make it to tight belt moves
