When searching for ways to flatten a hard arkansas most people recommend using loose grit on a plate of float glas.
But will the loose grit not just grind the Glas out of flat just as fast as it...
Its a vintage Berg 3/4" and I dont think its bend.
Does this mean that you chop with the bevel towards the waste side ? Then I guess prying is of no concern to the back.
Im chopping with the back towards my self and the waste side, so if I pry its...
That is the question :D
Im a rookie and usually overthink things. When I the other day chopped my first mortise I notised that there was quite a wear bevel on the back of the mortise chisel. It...
It's from Norway or Sweden I'm sure. Just under 1 mm between the growth rings.
I suspect sharpening is at least one issue. At the moment im caught between 3 sharpening regimes. Yours with spydercos and hollow grind, David W´s with oilstones and Rob cosmans. Im mixing everything...
Is it safe to conclude that using an A2 iron in an low angle plane is foolish if the goal is to plane end grain with a low angle of attack ?

Ok I think there is nothing to be "afraid of then"
On a Facebook group I'm a member of dedicated to chisels there is a guy who claims that using a CBN wheel on high carbon steel is a bad idea because it will gum up the wheel making it useless for...
Thanks, I will try to find it and read it.
Yes the chipbreaker is as close as I can get it.
To be honest, I bought the LN62 from a local guy in good used condition. The blade were sharp and I did not check the angle.
Im making a tray for our bathtub, for champagne and strawberry...have to keep the wife happy..
I began with 2x4 stock and began to prepare the edges for gluing. I had lots of tearout in the...

Derek, How important is it to grind at half speed ?
One would think that using a plate like that with loose grits is going to wear on the plate too ?
Can any waterstone be used to create the slurry on a Kanban? From 240 grit to 8000?
Whats that steel plate ? is it just mild steel ground flat ?
Thanks, I already found out that the coarse is not coarse enough.... I think somebody has tried to flatten some of the chisels before, because some of them has a corner thats very low, suggesting the...
