| Adam |  Crowned bladesNovember 21st, 2005 09:46 PM November 21, 2005 Crowned blades Not having $110 for a specialized diamond plate, still working up 100 plus dollar justification for a FLAT diamond plate to true my many honing stones, I use the differential pressure technique also. I've been using the glass-plate method to lap the backs of my irons and chisels flat. I don't have them up to mirror smooth yet, but most of them be flat. Even the review of the crowned blade diamond sharpener stressed that the main advantage of this high cost item is "consistent" curvature. For the users treating wood as a stable engineering material, this product is wonderful. The good news is once the crowned is established, with a relatively coarse grit product, almost any sharpening method can be used to refine the edge. I wonder if it's possible to economically get a piece of glass ground with a long concave trough? Man, I'm cheap! |
