This lamination process makes 15V viable for woodturning by bonding it to a tough stainless body that absorbs the long overhang demands of tool rest use. The hardened stainless steel bolster is reusable indefinitely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSharpening Guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, sharpen freehand on a grinding platform. Recommended abrasives include CBN wheels (180–320 grit), Norton SG Ceramic wheels, and 3M Trizact or Cubitron II belts.
