Wheel Dressing
Depending on the type of grinding you do,
the grinding wheel may require periodic
dressing.
A variety of dressing tools are available
(see Accessories, Page 17) and can be
used to restore the abrasive quality of the
wheel surface and bring the wheel edge
back to a square form.
Refer to the instructions that accompany
your dressing accessory for complete
details on how to properly dress a wheel.
Sharpening
The leather stropping wheel on the Model
T10010 and the included abrasive strop-
ping paste can be used to obtain a razor
sharp edge on many tools. Before use,
the stropping wheel must be properly
prepared.
To prepare the stropping wheel:
1. DISCONNECT GRINDER FROM
POWER.
2. Make sure the wet grinder is discon-
nected from power and that the strop-
ping wheel is not rotating.
3. Evenly apply a light machine oil to
the leather wheel. Use enough oil to
provide a thorough coating, but not so
much as to saturate the leather and
result in dripping.
4 Apply a thin coat of abrasive honing
paste to the leather wheel using a
wooden spreader or similar device.
Distribute the paste evenly by hand-
turning the wheel while spreading.
5. Turn the machine on and continue
to distribute the paste, still using the
wooden spreader. Move the spreader
lightly in a circular motion across the
wheel.
6. Once the paste is evenly distributed,
begin sharpening.
These preparations will be sufficient for
sharpening five to ten tools. If you notice
a drop in sharpening performance or have
sharpened more than ten tools, repeat
Steps 1-6
