Sharpening Class Today

heThe 1st Wood Working Tools Basic Sharpening class went well today.

  1. Wood Chisels and Plane Blanks some of them are now sharp. Be aware.

  2. The Sharpening Powered tools on the Sharpening Bench in the Assembly / Lathe Room are reserved for Woodworking Tools and hard tool type steel with a RHC of 50 or higher.

The metal shop has the capability to sharpen softer metals especially steel.

  1. Unless you know how to use the Jet Grinder and properly dress the wheels, please do not use it without taking the class or getting some one on one help. The new white wheel has been worn out and now needs to be replaced. It has been mis used over the last two years. To properly sharpen wood working tools, it must be square and even.

Thank you! Another shapening class will be scheduled soon.

@John.Nicholas and @Jesse Thanks to both of you guys for doing this class. It really does help a person understand how to properly use the sharpening equipment without damaging the grinding wheels and stones as well as how to properly sharpen tools.
