Sharpening

Sharp tools are safer tools, and also yield far better results with less effort. 

2 X 72 Knife grinder

Use when an aggressive grind is needed to to establish new profiles and angles
when refurbishing old tools, or making new tools.  Use caution on your own blades, since a lot of material can be removed fast.  Use jigs and fixtures to ensure an appropriate angle and grind.  CVM chisels or plane blades are kept in a condition that the knife grinder is not needed.
