Sharpening Guide

• Bench Grinders: CBN wheels (180-320 grit) for the best edge. Norton SG Ceramic wheels also work well but wear faster.
• Belt Grinders: 3M Trizact, 3M Cubitron II, or Norton Norax belts produce quality edges.
• Wet Bench Grinders: Effective with supplied wheel; CBN wheels now available for superior results.
• Avoid low-quality aluminum oxide or silicon carbide wheels, which chip the carbides rather than abrading them to a fine edge.
• The laminated construction ensures easy sharpening on all recommended grinding methods.
