using buffing wheel to sharpen planes and chisels
Charles
The kind of buffing wheel you use for this is called a "hard felt
buff" and it is very dense almost as hard as a piece of wood.
When you round the edge over you increase the force needed to use the
tool, not good.
With a hard felt buff and compound you can deburr,hone and microbevel
in one pass.
A good hard felt buff is $40 us or more for 6"
It does not matter how sharp the tool is if the cutting edge itself is
not the first part of the tool to contact the work.
