TOOL SHARPENING

When using the Power Hone, hold the
tool relatively stationary while the rotary
motion of the wheel sharpens the tool.
Sweep the tool slowly across the working
surface of the wheel. This extends wheel
life by using the entire cutting face and
prevents grooving. The Power Hone is
designed mainly for fine tool sharpening
and finishing. Use a bench grinder to rough
shape tool points, then give them a fine
finish on the Power Hone. This will save
time and extend diamond wheel life.
Engraving & Jewelry Tools
The Power Hone was originally
designed to sharpen engraving and jewelry
tools. Sharpening fixtures to hold the
gravers to the precision angles required

sharpening fixtures that are available.
