Alan Lacer Diamond Hone. Reshaping a skew chisel. Developed by Alan almost 10 years ago these slipstones two flat surfaces and two different radiused edges are made of steel and premium diamond for the honing of all woodturning tools.
Diamond hone and as an option power hone using power honing on a MDF wheel charged with buffing compound that cuts high speed steel. Inch diameter wheels 1 inch wide 60 or 80 and 46 grit friable aluminum oxide wheels usually white pink or blue OR a SG wheel in J or K hardness rock solid tool rests eye. Ive had it for nine or ten years and it is still as good as new.
Next I hone four faces of the skew.
FOR ORDERS OUTSIDE THE US. A flat diamond hone is the best accessory to use in honing. The more you hone the less youll bog down the machine the less youll need to sand and the less vibration will be transferred to your hands. Just a couple of strokes with a hone makes a big difference in how well the tool cuts.
