Grinding Wheel
Rotation
The tool rest can be attached in two positions,
allowing for grinding with or against the rotation
direction of the grinding wheel.
Working with the grinding wheel rotation yields
more precise results and removes less material.
Use this method for finer tools, such as knives or
carving tools.
Working against the grinding wheel rotation
removes large amounts of material quickly but
does not yield precise results. Use this method for
coarse tools such as axes.
