USING THE STONE GRADER
Use the Stone Grader (14) to dress the surface of the

grindstone for fine or coarse grinding:
For coarse grinding, to remove a large amount of material

quickly (for example, to shape a blade):
• Apply the coarse side of the stone grader to the

grindstone to roughen the grinding surface

For fine grinding, to sharpen the blade:
• Apply the smooth side of the stone grader to the

grindstone to provide a finer grit surface, approx. 1000

grit, ideal for sharpening the blade in preparation final

polishing of the cutting edge on the leather honing

wheel

USING THE SqUARE EDGE jIG
For use with the

Support Arm (11) and

Angle Guide (17) to set

the blade at exactly

the correct angle for

sharpening

1. Loosen the knobs on

the Square Edge Jig

(13)

2. Place the blade in the

jig so that one edge of the blade is positioned against

the end stops See Fig 1

3. Tighten the knobs to fasten the blade in position

USING THE SUPPORT ARM
• The Support Arm (11) can be attached for grinding with

or against the direction of rotation of the grindstone

• Honing should ONLY be carried out WITH the direction

of rotation

For grinding against the

direction of rotation:
1. Place the Support Arm

(11) in the Vertical

Mounts (2)

For grinding and honing

with the direction of

rotation:
1. Place the Support Arm

(11) in the Horizontal

Mounts (9)

• Working against the

direction of rotation

removes larger

amounts of material

more quickly than

working with the

direction of rotation.

• Working with the direction of rotation can be used for

very precise sharpening of a blade for finer tools and is

used for honing

• Take your time and practise the set up with various

types and sizes of blades so that you can achieve

the correct sharpening angle and ensure the blade

to be sharpened is square across the surface of the

grindstone

• In general, for sharpening, position the support arm in

the vertical mounts and sharpen against the direction

of rotation

• NEVER place the support arm in the vertical mounts

when using the leather honing wheel. Attempting to

hone the blade against the direction of rotation will

cause severe damage to the honing wheel

USING THE ANGLE GUIDE
• Use the Angle Guide (17) to set the blade at exactly the

correct angle for sharpening

1. Mount the blade in the

Square Edge Jig (13) and

place the support arm in

the mount

2. Use the gauge on the

outside of the angle

guide to measure the

bevel angle of the blade.

3. Loosen the locking

knob on the angle guide

and adjust the protractor so that the black arrows are

aligned with the correct

grindstone diameter

marking. See Fig 5

4. Then set the pointer to

the required bevel angle

on the blade

(as

measured in Step 2,

above) and

tighten the locking

collar to lock in

position. See Fig 5

5. Thread the square edge

jig onto the support arm

so that the blade rests

against the grindstone

6. Position the curved foot

of the angle guide on the

grindstone and the flat

section of the pointer on

the blade to be

sharpened. See Fig 6

7. Use the Support Arm Height Adjuster (12) to adjust the

height of the support arm until the flat section on the

angle guide pointer lies perfectly flat on the blade

8. The grinding angle will now be correct
