Platform sharpening (Read 1,800 times)

robo_hippy WR Addict Offline Posts: 3,638 Eugene, OR USA	Platform sharpening Jun 2^nd, 2017 at 6:28pm I finally updated my old platform sharpening video from some years back. I did this one once and didn't like it, so did it over. This one flows better. Multimedia File Viewing and Clickable Links are available for Registered Members only!!

I love my Robo rest, it's consistent with the angle I've set for my scrapers. One pass on the Grinder and I'm back to making shavings. 👍

I do like the 35 35 Grind to get of of tool marks. The 75 25 Grind is great to get rid of Excess wood. in a hurry will leave tear out who cares were only concerned with getting that excess wood out. After the scraper use a bowl gouge to get rid of tear out then a 35 35 negative scraper to rid of tool marks. Then sanding hate this part.........

Thanks Reed for the updated sharpening video. I've been using the Robo Rest now for a couple years and there is no way I could sharpening different tools, each at its particular angle, so quickly with jigs. I touch up the edge much more often because the Robo Rest makes it so fast.

One thing I do differently, Im always worrying about hitting the other wheel if sweeping bowl gouges, so I rotate and push up the wheel rather than rotate and sweep.

The RoboRest is a type of jig.
