Any ideas?
I fancy having a bash at honing with the leather type discs, mostly out of curiosity, but don't buy or use leather.
At the minute i just dry grind, and if i fancy honing use a extra fine diamond file with a dab of water. I touch up with the diamond file a couple of times when i notice the tool dulling, before returning to the grinder after a bit.
Any point in me trying other alternatives?
Do people actually use the leather wheels on Tormeks etc, or are they more hassle than they're worth?
