What..no edge grinder???


G I said, by hand... A lot of hobby shops don't have anything but
a bench grinder, and don't even _know_ about honing an edge. (some
do... I'm not casting everyone in the mold, Gunner).

I keep a piece of hard Arkansas stone right next to my bits . Amazing how
much difference a little polish on the edge can do . And Lloyd , I get what
you meant about edge radius . A controlled breaking of the edge makes a
smoother cut than the random breakage on a microscopic level you can get
when a perfectly sharp edge contacts the work .
