SHARPENING
The cutters have been accurately ground to the correct 35°
bevel before leaving the factory. However, before the plane
can be used the Cutters must be sharpened and it is
recommended that this be done on the ground bevel, i.e. no
sharpening bevel as with bench planes The user will find
them much easier to maintain if this rule is followed.
Use a good quality flat oilstone lightly smeared with thin
machine oil. Sharpen the plough cutters by placing the
ground bevel firmly on the surface of the oilstone moving it
forward and back in a figure of 8 movement in order to
distribute the oil and wear the stone evenly. A rounded edge
must be avoided with the cutter angle kept constant and
this calls for some skill. However, by using a RECORD 161
EDGE TOOL HONER the job is simplified since the honer
maintains the cutter at the correct angle and, operating on a
ball movement, it also allows complete freedom to distribute
wear evenly over the entire oilstone surface
Whon a wire edge appears on the reverse side of the
cutter and extends along the full width of the cutting edge,
the cutter should be laid flat on the oilstone bevel side up
when a few strokes forward and back will remove it. Care
must be taken to ensure that the cutter lies flat on the stone
since any lift will round the back and render it useless. The
cutter will now be sharp and ready for use.
