How many of those dozen chisels do we really need.
How many chisels do we really need for hand cutting dovetails. For fine work, a chisel back should be flat and the part near the edge highly polished. This is easily achieved with a bench stone. Once you learn David Charlesworth's ruler trick, you will never again waste time flattening the entire back of a plane iron. We have been brainwashed with the "need" to have perfectly flat, polished backs on our bench planes and chisels. The problem is not the wheels the problem is carelessness. Ignoring these two usage requirements was what caused Woodturnerswonders to void the warranty if used wet. When used this way, I have had good success with both CBN and diamond wheels. Diamond wheels have the same anti oxidant and dry storage requirements. I attribute this misinformation to well meant high speed dry grinding backgrounds.īoth brands of CBN wheels work well wet with a Tormek, The keys to successful use are using an antioxidant solution and not leaving the wheel in water. I trust both of them, however, both of them inadvertently gave me inaccurate information regarding using their CBN wheels wet with the Tormek. When I started researching CBN wheels several years ago, I corresponded with Dave Sweitzer of D-Way and Ken Rizza of Woodturnerswonders. The Tormek market uses primarily the traditional Tormek grinding wheels. The CBN market is primarily woodturners using eight inch high speed dry grinders.
This is not intentional, however, using CBN wheels or diamond wheels with a Tormek is an after thought. Your question is complicated by a lack of good information.
