BB, you're Lyn-esque... :roll: D'you really use a honing guide for a scrub blade...? :shock: Oh, and talking of the Marples guide; I picked one up with the instructions - d'you want a copy?
Cheers, Alf

But, but... don't you ever freehand anything?! :?bugbear":3ifp9dds said:Of course. Maintaining a constant bevel angle is needed not for cosmetics, but to minimise the amount of metal removed at each sharpening. Same reason as for a stright blade.D'you really use a honing guide for a scrub blade...?
Can I pretend I'm not gloating 'cos I'm not gloating though? :roll: The day I indulge in a honing guide-related gloat you can expect sub zero temperatures in all the circles of Hades. :wink:bugbear":3ifp9dds said:<spits coffee all over screen> You can't pretend you're not gloating just by being nice about it!Oh, and talking of the Marples guide; I picked one up with the instructions - d'you want a copy?

I hate to say this Alf
Tool rest? Tool rest?! This marvel of British engineering doesn't need no stinkin' tool rest... [-( :roll: :lol: Of course the idea of using it au naturale on a great big grinding wheel soon makes you realise why they made it in malleable iron. "Whoops, there it goes again, Jack" "Not to worry, George, it's not broken and you didn't need your finger tips anyway, did you?"Rob Lee":3mz0iwh3 said:- but version 1 did have a ledge back of the wheel so it could be used on a grinder with a tool rest...not sure if it's still there though... :lol:

BB, if that al "Dante" bit was a deliberate pun it may be very hard to forgive...
