12. SHARPENiNG STONE. . .is provided for frequent
sharpening of the Cutting Toot. REMEMBER THAT
WHEN THE TOOL IS SHARP, HALF OF THE JOB IS
DONE.
Apply a generous amount of light household oil (Do
not use motor oil) to the stone, and with a circular
motion hone the entire rounded edge of the tool while
holding it firmly.
Make sure the stone is always in contact with the entire
length of the rounded end. . .do not just hone the
point.
Honing will cause a burr to appear on the tip of the tool
which must be removed.
Hold the tool firmly while carefully sliding the stone
straight up and down in the groove on the top side until
the burr is removed. A slight burr may now appear on
the rounded end which must be removed.
Repeat honing the rounded end and the groove until
the burr disappears.
Always move the stone in a straight line. . .do not "rock
it." otherwise you will "round over" the cutting edge
and the tool will be dull.
13. CENTER SCREW. . .is a large pointed screw 1-1/4
inches long with a hexagon head that contains a
screwdriver slot. It is used for attaching the workpiece
to either the 4 or the 8 inch diameter faceplate which is
fitted with a "backing."
Make the backing out of one of the following:
a. 3/4 inch thick hardwood, or
b. 3/4 inch thick plywood, or
c. 2 pieces of 3/8 inch plywood glued together, or
d.
3 pieces of 1/4 inch plywood glued together. Cut
the wood approximately 1/2 inch larger in diameter
than the faceplate.
