Sharpening the EdgeMax Bedknife
• No special stones required
• Dress the stone more frequently
– Before starting and at least once during grinding
• One pass to dress
– Multiple passes will cause the stone to back up
• When grinding, remove smaller amounts
of material (shallower cut)
• Expect a different spark pattern
Mild Steel: Many orange visible
streaks with few sparks
Tool Steel: Few visible streaks with
noticeable sparks
No special stones required.
Dress the stone more frequently. Before starting,
and at least once during grinding. One pass to
dress. Multiple passes will cause the stone to load
up.
When grinding, remove smaller amounts of material
(a shallower cut).
Expect a different spark pattern.
