    Default Robert Sorby Pro Edge Sharpening System

    Thought some of you might be interested in this.

    If you have a belt sander you can make your own.

    I am still messing about with my version but I am getting there.

    Default Sorby sharpening system.

    Is the problem the flat grind and therefore some bounce = catches?. Drillit.

    Hi Drillit.

    No the problem is not the flat grind, I prefer a flat grind as it happens.

    I sharpened a couple of gouges and got the best edge I have ever had on a gouge. Cut timber beautifully with an almost flawless finish off the tool on pine.

    My problem is that i had to make one part of the jig from wood and this gave me a bit of play that gives me a very slightly different shape on each side of the flute.

    Now that I have proved the concept I have acquired a piece of aluminium bar to make a better boss. I should then be flying.

    Will post pics when done.
