Set the edge angle by adjusting the Universal Support.
When replicating an existing angle, use the Marker Method.
When setting a new angle you can use the AngleMaster.
Grind the first side. Press with
your thumb close to the edge
for the best control. Lift the
tool and then move it sideways.
When a burr has developed
on the entire edge, turn the jig
around and grind the other side.

Grindstone Condition
Usually carving chisels only need ne sharpening. There-
fore you normally grade the grindstone to a ner grit with
the Stone Grader SP-650 (page 140). When you need to
shape the chisel, you use the normal fast grinding condition
of the grindstone.
Setting the edge angle
Keep the tool in the jig and move to the leather honing wheel. Set the Universal Support so that the
honing angle is the same as the grinding angle. Use the Marker Method. Hone away the burr and
polish the bevels to a mirror finish.
