Sharpening tools
Posted: Fri May 23, 2014 4:21 pm
Well long story short... I'm finally looking into buying a wet/dry sharpening machine.... Now given I live in Germany so it has to be bought here.. 220v and the Hz must match.. But. Scheppach and tormek are the two main machines I'm looking at.. Huge price difference...
I've been using my slack belt sander to sharpen tools almost forever, I have Japanese sharpening stones but they take too much time... They hold an edge but I want them sharper.. And for longer than I currently get ... Seeing Chris' set up put the bug in me.. Super sharp in a few seconds and much truer angles than my manual methods... So what are your ideas...
I will be sharpening shaped hss blanks, turning tools and other cutting tools I've made... So return on investment is key, along with shaper tools
