Ok would like some advice.
I need to re-establish a primary bevel on one of my plane irons.
in the past I have managed this with 400 grit diamond stone but it is now very worn and would take too long.
So options as I see it are-
1. Replace the diamond stone with a new one.
2. Buy a course water stone but I fear this will wear very quickly. I have a 1000 & 6000 grit already.
3. Buy a cheap 6” bench grinder as I do not have enough use to warrant a wet grinders cost. I am also concerned that a bench grinders tool rests are generally very small as a reference point.
I would appreciate guidance on this one please.
