Abrasives Stones and Diamonds...

[Cherryville Chuck]

I use a grinder occasionally to get rid of major edge damage or when I want to get a hollow grind back. I use a Lee Valley grinder jig and a Norton white wheel with very light pressure to keep from heating the edge up. I used to sharpen my lathe tools solely on the grinder but I've found that if I stroke the edges back to sharp using a fine grit diamond hone that they cut better.
