Method:
• Place the fine grit slotted Edge-
Vision™ abrasive face down and

increased visibility.
• Look down through the spinning
wheel into the Edge-Vision™ port.
• Slowly bring tool to be sharpened
into the Edge-Vision™ port and
contact the heel of the cutting edge
to the abrasive surface.
• Determine location of area being
sharpened by watching where the
black marker is being removed from
the tool.
• Slowly move the tool to remove all
the black marker.
• Edge should now be sharp and have
an even surface finish.

Top Tips (cont.):
If your tool is not cutting well after
sharpening, check the following:
• The bevel angle may be too steep;
try sharpening a shallower angle.
• The bevel may not have been
sharpened all the way to the
cutting edge.
• There may be a burr on the inside
of the cutting edge.
