Hi Ed,

Ed Huntress Inscribed thus:

Methinks running a blade in *that* kind of backwards might be useful
for sharpening a conventionally dull blade??

Uh....if you're the type who likes to use crankcase drippings for
cutting oil on a lathe, you might want to give it a try. g

In fact, if you still use steel blades on a table saw (most of my
blades are steel, and more than 30 years old), you may know that
setting a blade to run backwards and then raising it carefully into an
(old, worn-out, please) sharpening stone is a common way of jointing
the blade before sharpening it.

Please explain your terminology jointing ? its not a description
I've heard before.
Thanks:
