[pianotech] Of Chisels

[Gene Nelson]

For all of the time that we spend sharpening, at least one person on the forum sees an economic advantage to using their local sharpening service. Anyone else try this?
Thanks for the tip Isaac.

  The flat sides of the stone wheel. One side is a coarse grit and the other is a fine grit. After that the leather lap. Does a real good job.


  I fully realize there are less expensive ways to sharpen a chisel or whatever. But for those of us who for whatever reason do not have the natural skills to sharpen by hand, the Tormek unit really does provide a great avenue for keeping cutting tools very sharp.

    I’m curious about those who use the Tormek system, how do you go about flattening the back of the chisel?

    The question was whether the Tormek system had a procedure for flattening the back of the chisel since after the Tormek investment it would make sense to try and avoid having to invest in quality stones as well.
