6 Overview These tools are designed to be used with a slow speed wet grinder (not included). Harbor Freight Tools 8 Wet Grinder item number is used in the photos as an example. The Standard Bracket Unit discussed on page 7 and shown in several photos is included with item These jigs will hold your wood, cloth or leather cutting tools in position while being sharpened on a grinder. Wood Cutting Tool or Scissor Sharpening Tips. Preserve the correct angle. The cutting angle is the angle of the cutting edge to the face of the tool. The best angle for each tool depends on the tool and the material being cut. In most cases, it is best to reproduce the angle originally supplied by the manufacturer on your tool. 2. Preserve the edge shape. Each cutting tool has a unique edge shape best suited for its purpose. It may be curved, straight, beveled or other. When sharpening, be careful to retain the edge shape of the tool. 3. Do not overheat. Use a wet, low speed grinder to sharpen tools. A high speed grinder will heat up the cutting edge of the tool, removing the hardness of the edge. A soft edge will not remain sharp for long and will not cut properly. 4. Burnish or hone the edge after grinding. Grinding produces an approximately correct cutting edge. Some burrs or scratches will always remain on the cutting edge after grinding. For best results, take the time to hone (using a sharpening stone) or burnish (using a hardened steel honing tool) the edge before beginning work. 5. Protect the edge from damage. The sharpened edge is extremely thin, sharp and subject to damage. Store your cutting tools with care to prevent damage to the edge from banging against other objects or from corrosion. 6. Touch up the edge periodically. Occasionally touch up the cutting edge of your tools with a honing stone or burnisher. This will keep your tools sharp and ready for use, and will result in less wear to the cutting tool than repeated grinding. 7. Grinding wheel direction. In most cases with chisels, knives and scissors, position the tool so the grinding wheel will turn from the base of the tool toward the edge of the tool. With axes and blunt tools, have the grinding wheel rotate from the cutting edge toward the base of the tool. 8. Inner curve gouges. In this manual, most instructions are given based on the beveled edge of the tool being on the outside. In some cases, the beveled edge of a gouge is on the inner or concave part of the cutting edge. With tools of this type, a special profiled grinding wheel is required for sharpening. SKU 95329, 9533, 95332, and Page 6
