Introduction

The Veritas

®

Mk.II Power Sharpening System will efﬁ ciently sharpen any straight-edged chisel, plane blade or

carving tool to a degree of sharpness that cannot be surpassed by any other method. It is also an excellent general-

purpose system for a wide variety of tools with shaped edges, including gouges and V-tools.

The system features a turntable equipped with an 8" disc that rotates at 650 rpm. Above the turntable are a tool

holder and tool guide that make it possible to sharpen blades at speciﬁ c, repeatable bevel angles, ranging from 15°

to 45°.

The main components are shown in Figure 1 (below) to help you with the terminology used throughout this manual.

Exploded assemblies and parts list are shown in Appendix A.

WARNING: For your own safety, read the

instructions manual before operating the

Veritas

®

Mk.II Power Sharpening System.

Safety Rules

These safety instructions are provided to ensure safe use

of the Veritas

®

Mk.II Power Sharpening System. To ensure

your own safety, read these before you begin to use this

product and always follow these safety instructions.

1. Learn the tool’s applications and limitations as well

as the specific hazards related to the tool.

2. Use common sense. If an action appears to be

unsafe, it likely is. DON’T OVERREACH. Keep

proper footing and balance at all times.

3. Use correct power supply. Never use a power

source for which this tool was not designed. It

could cause serious injury. This tool is equipped

with a three-prong plug; it should be plugged into

a three-hole electric receptacle. An adapter should

be properly grounded (see Grounding Instructions,

page 3).

4. REDUCE THE RISK OF UNINTENTIONAL

STARTING. Make sure switch is in off position

before plugging in. USE PROPER EXTENSION

CORD. Make sure your extension cord is in good

condition. When using an extension cord, be sure

to use one heavy enough to carry the current your

product will draw. An undersized cord will cause a

drop in line voltage, resulting in loss of power and

overheating. Table 1 shows the correct size to use,

depending on cord length and nameplate ampere

rating. If in doubt, use the next heavier gauge. The

smaller the gauge number, the heavier the cord.

5. Wear proper eye protection. Everyday eyeglasses

have only impact-resistant lenses; they are not

safety glasses. Also use a face or dust mask if the

grinding operation is dusty. Visitors should wear

the same protection.

6. KEEP CHILDREN AWAY. All visitors should

be kept a safe distance from work area. MAKE

WORKSHOP KID PROOF with padlocks, master

switches, or by removing starter keys.

7. Wear proper apparel. Avoid wearing loose clothing,

gloves, ties, rings and bracelets, as these can get

caught in moving parts.

8. Long hair should be tied back and secured.

9. Do not work under the influence of drugs, alcohol, or

medication. Drugs, alcohol, medication and lack of

sleep cause impaired judgment and coordination and

should not be combined with power tool operation.

10. Use in an appropriate environment. Power tools

should be used only in dry, clean and well-lit

environments. Exposure to rain or use in the

presence of flammable liquids or gases could result

in damage or injury. Don’t use power tools in damp

or wet locations, or expose them to rain.

11. Keep power cord away from heat, oil and sharp edges.

12. Remove adjusting keys and wrenches before use.

Form habit of checking to see that keys and

adjusting wrenches are removed from tool before

turning it on.

13. Keep hands away from moving parts until they

have come to a complete stop and the power has

been disconnected.

14. Keep workplace clean. Cluttered work areas invite

accidents.

Introduction

15. Do not use the sharpening system if it is damaged.

A tool that does not operate correctly is a safety

hazard and should be fixed before further use. A

part that is damaged should be carefully checked to

determine that it will operate properly and perform

its intended function – check for alignment of

moving parts, binding of moving parts, breakage of

parts, mounting, and any other conditions that may

affect its operation.

16. Always disconnect the tool from the power source

when installing an accessory, adjusting the drive

belt or any other part. NEVER LEAVE TOOL

RUNNING UNATTENDED. TURN POWER OFF.

17. Refer to the Care and Maintenance section of this

manual for repairs and service details. Use only

identical replacement parts.

18. Do not alter or misuse the tool. Stop any operation

immediately if you notice anything abnormal.

19. Handle blades with care. This product will allow

the user to sharpen blades to a far greater degree

than is otherwise commonly possible.

20. Support workpiece with the tool guide and

sharpening system on the work surface. Never

lower the tool guide assembly so that it contacts

a rotating disc. Make sure the workpiece is not

in contact with the turntable before the power is

turned on. Wait until the sharpening system attains

full speed before proceeding.

21. Make sure the blade does not contact the platter

retention thumbscrew while the sharpening system

is turned on.

22. When the sharpening system is not in use, store it in

a dry area, elevated and out of the reach of children.

23. Do not yank the power cord to disconnect from

receptacle. Instead, use the molded plug to remove

the cord from receptacle.

24. The sharpening system should be used on a flat and

stable surface.

25. Do not operate in gaseous or explosive or other

environments with loose combustible substances

(e.g., wood dust). Sparks from sharpening may cause

fumes, dust or other materials to ignite. If you are

using a Shop-Vac

®

or other vacuum for abrasive dust

collection, remove any combustible material from it

(e.g., wood dust and chips) before sharpening.

26. Never attempt a leading cut with a buffing/honing

disc. Always use a trailing cut so that the disc

rotates away from the edge.

27. Never adjust the tool guide when the system is

running.

28. DON’T FORCE TOOL. It will do the job better

and safer at the rate for which it was designed.

29. USE RIGHT TOOL. Don’t force tool or attachment

to do a job for which it was not designed.

30. USE RECOMMENDED ACCESSORIES. Consult

the owner’s manual for recommended accessories.

The use of improper accessories may cause risk of

injury to persons.

31. Grinding creates heat. Do not touch the ground

portion of the workpiece until you are sure that the

workpiece has cooled.

32. Always pay attention to the position of a blade in

relation to all parts of your body. Orient the tool

in relation to the direction of the moving abrasive

so that its edge will not point toward you should

you ever lose your grip on it. Try to visualize (or

predict) where the workpiece will go if control is

lost, and keep out of the way.

Requirements

There are some basic requirements for the operation of

your Power Sharpening System:

• Power: the cord must be plugged into a 120-volt

grounded outlet on a 15 amp circuit.

Grounding Instructions

1. All grounded, cord-connected tools:

In the event of a malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance

for electric current to reduce the risk of electric

shock. This tool is equipped with an electric cord

having an equipment-grounding conductor and a

grounding plug. The plug must be plugged into

a matching outlet that is properly installed and

grounded in accordance with all local codes and

ordinances. Do not modify the plug provided

– if it will not fit the outlet, have the proper

outlet installed by a qualified electrician. Improper

connection of the equipment-grounding conductor

can result in a risk of electric shock. The conductor

with insulation having an outer surface that is green

4

Veritas

®

Mk.II Power Sharpening System

with or without yellow stripes is the equipment-

grounding conductor. If repair or replacement

of the electric cord or plug is necessary, do not

connect the equipment-grounding conductor to a

live terminal. Check with a qualified electrician

or service personnel if the grounding instructions

are not completely understood, or if in doubt as to

whether the tool is properly grounded. Use only

three-wire extension cords that have three-prong

grounding plugs and three-pole receptacles that

accept the tool’s plug. Repair or replace damaged

or worn cord immediately.

2. Grounded, cord-connected tools intended for

use on a supply circuit having a nominal rating

less than 150 volts:

This tool is intended for use on a circuit that has an

outlet that looks like the one illustrated in Sketch

A in Figure 2. The tool has a grounding plug

that looks like the plug illustrated in Sketch A in

Figure 2. A temporary adapter, which looks like

the adapter illustrated in Sketch B, may be used

to connect this plug to a two-pole receptacle as

shown in Sketch B if a properly grounded outlet

is not available. The temporary adapter should

be used only until a properly grounded outlet can

be installed by a qualified electrician. The green-

colored rigid ear, lug, and the like, extending from

the adapter must be connected to a permanent

ground such as a properly grounded outlet box.

• Work Surface: the system has been designed to be

comfortable to use when placed on a work surface

between 30" and 36" from the floor. This provides a

38" to 44" working height. The same work surface

should also have ample space around it so that tools

and accessories may be placed where they can be

kept close at hand.

• Light: good lighting is important when evaluating

the progress of sharpening.

Introduction

AVERTISSEMENT : Pour votre propre

sécurité, lisez le guide d’utilisation avant de

faire fonctionner le système d’affûtage électrique

Mk.II Veritas

®

.

Règles de sécurité

Les présentes consignes de sécurité visent à faire en sorte

que le système d’affûtage électrique Mk.II Veritas

®

soit

utilisé de façon sécuritaire. Pour votre propre sécurité,

veuillez les lire avant de commencer à utiliser le produit

et respectez-les en tout temps.

1. Apprendre les domaines d’utilisation et les limitations

de l’outil, de même que les dangers connexes.

2. Faire preuve de bon sens. Toute action qui semble

être dangereuse l’est probablement. NE PAS

TENDRE LE BRAS TROP LOIN. Toujours avoir

une bonne prise de pied et un bon équilibre.

3. Utiliser la bonne source d’alimentation. Ne jamais

utiliser une source pour laquelle l’outil n’a pas été

conçu. On pourrait alors se blesser sérieusement.

L’outil est muni d’une fiche à trois broches; celle-ci

doit être branchée dans une prise à trois trous. Tout

adaptateur doit être mis à la terre de façon appropriée

(voir Consignes de mise à la terre, à la page 7).

4. RÉDUIRE LE RISQUE DE MISE EN MARCHE

INVOLONTAIRE. S’assurer que l’interrupteur est

à la position d’arrêt avant de brancher l’appareil.

UTILISER UNE RALLONGE APPROPRIÉE.

S’assurer que la rallonge est en bon état. Lorsqu’on

utilise une rallonge, s’assurer que le calibre des

conducteurs permet d’acheminer le courant appelé

par le produit. Une rallonge sous dimensionnée fera

chuter la tension de secteur, ce qui entraînera une

perte de puissance et fera surchauffer le système.

Le tableau 1 illustre le bon calibre à utiliser, selon

la longueur de la rallonge et l’intensité nominale

indiquée sur la plaque signalétique. En cas de

doute, utiliser une rallonge du calibre supérieur.

Plus le numéro de jauge est petit, plus le calibre des

conducteurs est élevé.

5. Porter la protection des yeux appropriée. Les

lunettes qu’on porte tous les jours sont seulement

munies de verres résistants aux chocs; ce ne sont

pas des lunettes de sécurité. Utiliser également un

masque facial ou antipoussières lorsqu’on procède

à un affûtage qui dégage de la poussière. Les

visiteurs doivent porter la même protection.

6. TENIR LES ENFANTS À DISTANCE. Tous

les visiteurs doivent être gardés à une distance

sécuritaire de la zone de travail. RENDRE

L’ATELIER À L’ÉPREUVE DES ENFANTS en

posant des cadenas et des interrupteurs principaux

ou en retirant les clés des démarreurs.

7. Porter des vêtements appropriés. Éviter de porter

des vêtements amples, des gants, une cravate, des

bagues ou des bracelets, car ils peuvent se prendre

dans les pièces mobiles.

8. Les cheveux longs doivent être attachés derrière la

tête et fixés en place.

9. Ne pas travailler sous l’effet d’une drogue, de

l’alcool ou d’un médicament. La consommation de

ces produits et le manque de sommeil entraînent une

diminution du sens critique et de la coordination,

et sont incompatibles avec l’utilisation d’un outil

électrique.

10. Utiliser le système dans un environnement

approprié. Les outils électriques ne doivent être

utilisés que dans un environnement sec, propre et

bien éclairé. L’exposition à la pluie ou l’utilisation

en présence d’un liquide ou d’un gaz inflammable

risque de causer des dommages ou des blessures.

Éviter de se servir d’un outil électrique dans un

endroit humide ou de l’exposer à la pluie.

11. Garder le cordon d’alimentation loin de la chaleur,

de l’huile et des arêtes tranchantes.

12. Enlever les clés et les dispositifs de réglage avant

d’utiliser le système. Prendre l’habitude de vérifier

si les clés et les dispositifs de réglage ont été enlevés

de l’outil avant de mettre celui ci en marche.

13. Garder les mains loin des pièces mobiles jusqu’à ce

que celles-ci se soient complètement immobilisées

et que le cordon d’alimentation ait été débranché.

14. Garder le lieu de travail propre. Les zones de travail

encombrées sont souvent la cause d’accidents.

15. Ne pas utiliser un système d’affûtage endommagé.

Un outil qui ne fonctionne pas correctement constitue

un risque d’accident et il faut le réparer avant de

s’en servir. Il faut vérifier soigneusement toute pièce

endommagée et déterminer si elle fonctionnera

correctement et remplira la fonction prévue – vérifier

si les pièces mobiles sont bien alignées et si des

pièces sont coincées ou brisées; vérifier le montage

et toute autre condition susceptible d’avoir une

incidence sur le fonctionnement du système.

16. Toujours déconnecter l’outil de la source

d’alimentation lorsqu’on pose un accessoire ou

qu’on règle la courroie d’entraînement ou toute

autre pièce. NE JAMAIS LAISSER L’OUTIL EN

MARCHE SANS SURVEILLANCE. COUPER

L’ALIMENTATION.

17. Se reporter à la section Soin et entretien du présent

guide d’utilisation pour trouver des détails au sujet

de la réparation ou de l’entretien courant. Utiliser

uniquement des pièces de rechange identiques.

18. Ne pas modifier ou mal employer l’outil. Cesser

toute opération immédiatement lorsqu’on remarque

quelque chose d’anormal.

19. Manipuler les lames avec soin. Le produit permet

d’affûter des lames de manière à les rendre

beaucoup plus aiguisées qu’il ne serait possible de

le faire autrement.

20. Supporter la pièce à travailler avec le guide de

l’outil et le système d’affûtage sur la surface de

travail. Ne jamais abaisser l’ensemble de guidage

de l’outil de manière à ce qu’il entre en contact

avec un disque tournant. S’assurer que la pièce à

travailler n’est pas en contact avec le disque rotatif

avant de mettre l’appareil sous tension. Attendre

que le système d’affûtage ait atteint le plein régime

avant de poursuivre.

21. S’assurer que la lame n’entre pas en contact avec

la molette de retenue du plateau lorsqu’on met le

système d’affûtage en marche.

22. Lorsqu’il n’est pas utilisé, ranger le système

d’affûtage dans un endroit sec, élevé et hors de

portée des enfants.

23. Ne pas tirer sur le cordon d’alimentation pour

le débrancher de la prise. Utiliser plutôt la fiche

moulée pour débrancher le cordon.

24. Utiliser le système d’affûtage sur une surface plane

et stable.

25. Ne pas utiliser le système dans un environnement

gazeux ou explosif, ou dans tout autre environnement

qui contient des matières combustibles (de la

poussière de bois, par exemple) à l’état libre. Les

étincelles produites par l’affûtage risqueraient alors

de causer l’inflammation des vapeurs, de la poussière

ou d’autres matériaux. En cas d’utilisation d’un

aspirateur Shop-Vac

®

ou de tout autre aspirateur

pour la collecte de la poussière d’abrasif, enlever

les matières combustibles qu’il contient (poussière

et copeaux de bois, par exemple) avant l’affûtage.

26. Ne jamais essayer de faire une coupe en attaque

avec une meule à polir. Toujours utiliser une

coupe en fuite, de sorte que l’abrasif s’éloigne du

tranchant lorsque le disque tourne.

27. Ne jamais régler le guide de l’outil pendant que le

système est en marche.

28. NE PAS TROP EXIGER DE L’OUTIL. Il fera

un meilleur travail, de façon plus sécuritaire, s’il

fonctionne à la capacité pour laquelle il a été

conçu.

29. UTILISER LE BON OUTIL. Éviter de forcer

l’outil ou le dispositif additionnel à faire un travail

pour lequel il n’a pas été conçu.

30. UTILISER LES ACCESSOIRES

RECOMMANDÉS. Consulter le manuel

du propriétaire pour trouver les accessoires

recommandés. L’utilisation d’accessoires

inappropriés risque de causer des blessures.

31. L’affûtage dégage de la chaleur. Ne pas toucher à

la partie meulée de la pièce à travailler tant qu’on

n’est pas certain que cette dernière a refroidi.

32. Toujours faire attention à la position de la lame par

rapport à toutes les parties du corps. Orienter l’outil

par rapport à la direction de l’abrasif en mouvement

de manière à éviter que le tranchant pointe vers soi,

au cas où l’on perdrait la prise de l’outil. Essayer

de visualiser (ou de prévoir) l’endroit où la pièce à

travailler serait projetée en cas de perte de maîtrise,

et s’écarter.

Introduction

Exigences

L’utilisation du système d’affûtage électrique est régie

par les exigences fondamentales suivantes :

• Alimentation – Le cordon doit être branché dans

une prise à 120 volts mise à la terre et reliée à un

circuit de 15 ampères.

Consignes de mise à la terre

1. Tous les outils avec cordon d’alimentation et

mise à la terre :

En cas de défaut de fonctionnement ou de panne,

la mise à la terre offre au courant électrique un

chemin de moindre résistance qui réduit le risque

de choc électrique. Le présent outil est équipé

d’un cordon muni d’un conducteur de mise à la

terre du matériel et d’une fiche avec broche de

masse. La fiche doit être branchée dans une prise

correspondante qui a été posée et mise à la terre en

conformité avec toutes les ordonnances et tous les

codes locaux. Éviter de modifier la fiche fournie

– si elle n’est pas adaptée à la prise, faire poser la

prise appropriée par un électricien qualifié. Quand

le conducteur de mise à la terre du matériel est mal

connecté, il y a risque de choc électrique. Il s’agit

du conducteur isolé dont le revêtement de couleur

verte peut être muni de bandes jaunes. Si la fiche

ou le cordon doit être réparé ou remplacé, éviter

de raccorder le conducteur de mise à la terre du

matériel à une borne sous tension. Vérifier auprès

d’un électricien qualifié ou du personnel d’entretien

quand les consignes de mise à la terre ne sont pas

bien comprises ou en cas de doute quant à savoir si

l’outil est bien mis à la terre. Utiliser uniquement

une rallonge à trois conducteurs munis d’une fiche

à trois broches et une prise tripolaire dans laquelle

il est possible de brancher la fiche de l’outil.

Réparer ou remplacer immédiatement tout cordon

endommagé ou usé.

2. Outil avec cordon et mise à la terre, destiné à

être raccordé à un circuit d’alimentation dont la

tension nominale est inférieure à 150 volts :

Le présent outil est destiné à être utilisé sur un circuit

comportant une prise de courant qui ressemble à la

prise illustrée dans le croquis A de la figure 2.

L’outil est équipé d’une fiche bipolaire avec terre

qui ressemble à celle illustrée dans le croquis A de la

figure 2. Un adaptateur temporaire, qui ressemble à

celui illustré dans le croquis B, peut servir à brancher

la fiche dans une prise bipolaire de la façon illustrée

dans le croquis B, quand il n’y a aucune prise mise à

la terre de façon appropriée. L’adaptateur temporaire

ne doit être utilisé que jusqu’à ce qu’une prise mise

à la terre de façon appropriée puisse être posée par

un électricien qualifié. L’oreille ou l’œil de couleur

verte, ou tout dispositif semblable, qui dépasse de

l’adaptateur doit être raccordé à une mise à la terre

permanente, telle qu’une boîte à prises mise à la

terre de façon appropriée.

• Surface de travail – En raison de sa conception, on

doit placer le système sur une surface qui se trouve

Unpacking & Assembly

• Remove the main unit from the box.

• Refer to Appendix A: Exploded Assemblies & Master

Parts List to check that you have all the components.

• Remove all packing materials.

• Set the V-belt. Loosen the three motor mount

screws using the 4mm hex key. Pull the motor

pulley as shown in Figure 3 to tension the belt.

Tighten the motor mount screws. The V-belt

doesn’t need to be any tighter than you can

comfortably set by hand.

• Check that the pulleys are aligned horizontally.

Place a straight edge across the top surfaces of the

turntable and motor pulleys (see Figure 4). If they

are not aligned, loosen the set screw in the motor

pulley and align them.

• Install the turntable using the two

1

/4-20 ×

1

/2"

button-head cap screws. Ensure that the mating

surfaces are clean before mounting the turntable

(Figure 5).

• A clean environment is essential when applying

the abrasive. Wipe the platter first with a clean

rag dampened with methyl hydrate, methanol,

methylated spirits or isopropyl alcohol. (Mineral

spirits is not recommended as it can leave a slightly

oily residue.)

• Take note that the two platters are different

thicknesses. One is 3mm thick and the other is

4mm thick. Apply the 80x and 100µ (micron) on

opposite sides of the 4mm platter, 40µ and 9µ on

the 3mm platter. Peel the backing off the abrasive

disc. Handling it by the edges, align the center

holes and carefully press down from the center

outward. A rolling pin or sufficiently large dowel

helps. If any bubbles remain after rolling, pierce

them with a sharp point and press them down to

remove the air.

on the turntable; secure it with the platter retention

thumbscrew. To allow the tool guide assembly to

be adjusted, loosen the locking screw and push the

tool guide assembly all the way down so that the

tool guide yoke comes to rest on the base and only

the 15° mark is visible on the tool guide scale. With

one hand, keep the tool guide rod in contact with

the abrasive disc while tightening the screws. With

your hand off the tool guide rod, check by eye that

it remains absolutely parallel to the platter. If not,

repeat this alignment procedure.

General Principles – Straight-Edged Tools: Chisels and Planes

Any tool with a ﬂ at straight-edged cutting blade up to 2

1

/2"

wide and

1

/2" thick can be sharpened to any bevel angle

between 15° and 45° on the sharpening system’s turntable.

Refer to Appendix C: General Sharpening Procedures

(excerpted from The Complete Guide To Sharpening by

Leonard Lee, available from The Taunton Press) for an

explanation of sharpening principles. If you prefer to jump

right in and learn as you go, reading Quick Start should

enable you to do so. Otherwise, for a full explanation of

how the system works, proceed to Tool Registration.

Quick Start

• Set up the tool to be sharpened as shown in Figure 8.

Extend the cutting edge of the tool using the registration

jig as shown to ensure it projects the correct amount

from the tool holder.

• Set the tool guide to the desired bevel angle,

anywhere from 15° to 45°. The included Veritas

®

Bevel Gauge (shown in Figure 1) will help you

to determine the initial bevel angle of any of your

tools, from 15° to 45° in 5° increments.

• Place the thicker (4mm) platter on the turntable with

either the 80x or 100µ face up, secure it with the

platter retention thumbscrew, and turn the power on.

• Engage the tool holder with the tool guide rod and

apply the bevel edge of the blade to the turntable at

the right of the center. Position the tool as shown

in Figure 9 while moving the blade back and forth

and applying a consistent pressure downward on

the turntable. Check results often, stopping once

the primary bevel is established.

Note: Make sure the blade does not contact

the platter retention thumbscrew while the

sharpening system is turned on.

• Turn power off, switch to the thinner (3mm) platter

with the 9µ abrasive facing up and repeat the previous

step. It should take only about 1 to 3 seconds of

grinding to achieve a satisfactory micro-bevel.

• Remove the wire edge formed when grinding by

applying the back of the blade flat against the 9µ

abrasive while the turntable is rotating. Position the

blade to make a leading cut as shown in Figure 10. If

you feel uncomfortable doing this, turn the power off

and do so as if using a stone.

Mk.II Power Sharpening System

Tool Registration

The system relies on the tool holder to be used

with the tool registration jig and the tool guide to

grind and hone accurate, repeatable bevel angles.

As illustrated in Figure 8, the blade should always

project the same distance from the holder, with

the exception of especially short tools (see Short

Projection). Different bevel angles are achieved

solely by varying the height of the tool guide. The

tool guide post has a series of indents that engage a

ball plunger installed in the base. This creates seven

pre-determined settings for the tool guide height as

shown on the tool guide scale (from 15° to 45° in

5° increments). As the post is moved up and down,

it will register at each 5° setting with a small click.

The corresponding bevel angle is read according to

the lowest number that can be read from the scale

as shown in Figure 11. The guide may be set to

any height between the two extremes; however, if

the angle required is not one of the presets, you will

need to mark the position with a fine-tip marker on

the label, or with a scratch or other mark on the post

itself, for the setting to be repeatable. If unusual

bevel angles are required more often than the seven

presets, you can back off the ball plunger to eliminate

the standard presets by first removing the locking

screw (to access the ball plunger).

Abrasives

The types and grades of abrasives used with the system

have been carefully selected for fast material removal

and cool grinding temperatures. As with all sharpening

methods, the sharpening system uses a range of

abrasives from very coarse to very ﬁ ne. Each grade is

suitable for a speciﬁ c stage of the sharpening process.

Four different grades are included with each system for

use on the turntable. They are as follows:

• 80x (180µ) zirconia – applied to one side of the

thick (4mm) platter, and used for basic shaping of

the bevel and grinding out edge damage.

• 100µ (150x) aluminum oxide (1µ = 1 micron

=

1

/1,000,000 metre) – applied to other side of the

thick (4mm) platter. The micron grade refers to

the average particle size. This abrasive is the

first to be used if the blade was last sharpened on

the system at the same angle and no large nicks

or chips are to be removed from the edge. This

abrasive must also be used if a blade was started

with the 80x platter because, as with all abrasive

action, when progressing from coarse to fine, one

should not make too large a jump from one grade

to the next.

• 40µ (320x) aluminum oxide – applied to one side

of the thin (3mm) platter. This grade is used only

for lapping the face of a chisel or plane blade.

In normal sharpening (i.e., when working on the

bevel), this abrasive is not used.

• 9µ (1200x) aluminum oxide – applied to the

other side of the thin (3mm) platter. This abrasive

is used to create the micro-bevel with the final

cutting edge.

Micro-Bevels

As explained in Appendix C: General Sharpening

Procedures, concentrating one’s honing efforts on a

micro-bevel will save a great deal of time and abrasive.

When using this system, a very slight change of angle is

automatically created when the user switches from the

coarse abrasive discs mounted on the thick platter to the

ﬁ ne abrasive discs mounted on the thin platter. The user

needs to do nothing more than switch to the platter with

the ﬁ ne abrasive to achieve a micro-bevel of about 1°.

General Principles – Straight-Edged Tools: Chisels and Planes

Tool Holding

Standard Projection

Use of the tool holder at the standard projection is covered

in Chapter 4, Step 2: Create the Primary Bevel.

Short Projection

Some tools such as short butt chisels, spokeshaves and

small palm planes have blades that are too short to

register properly at standard projection. Blades as short

as 1

1

/2" may still be sharpened using the short setting

of the blade projection jig. As shown in Figure 12 and

on the label of the blade projection jig, when the short

projection is used, the angle as displayed on the tool

guide is no longer correct. The conversion can be made

using the table pictured on the jig label.

When working on wide, short tools, such as butt chisels

or spokeshave blades, it is often easier to ensure square

registration using the existing edge against the registration

jig rather than the side of the blade and the shoulder of the

tool holder. If the dull edge is out of square, the human

eye (aided with a small square) can usually correct to

obtain the set-up as square as it needs to be.

Be aware that it is not possible to use the 15° setting

on the tool guide when sharpening a chisel at the short

projection. To attempt this would cause the underside

of the tool holder to come into contact with the abrasive

platter. This is due to the thickness of the blade to

be sharpened and applies to chisels only. It is not a

restriction, as short chisels (butt or Japanese) cannot

normally withstand such a low bevel angle. Small

plane blades such as for spokeshaves and palm planes

are much thinner and may be sharpened at 15° with no

interference.

As noted on the Blade Projection Jig Label, when using

short projection do not set the tool guide to 40° or 45°.

Using such a combination of settings will create a bevel

angle of 52° or 59° which, aside from being unusable

cutting angles for woodworking, may cause the tool to

jam between the turntable and tool guide when taking

a leading cut. If for some reason such an obtuse angle

is necessary, it may be accomplished by using a trailing

cut as shown in Figure 21.

Skew Chisels

The tool holder is equipped with two registration

screws that are normally stored out of the way in tapped

holes on the top of the holder. These are for use with

skew chisels. When used as shown in Figure 13, they

will allow the user to hone a 60° point (30° skew) on

a

1

/2" wide chisel. If sharpening a

3

/4" wide, 30° skew

chisel, set up as shown in Figure 14. Use one screw if

sharpening a 1" wide skew as shown in Figure 15.
