To use the ROCKLER Carbide Cutter Sharpening System, follow these steps:
1. Use the wrench that came with your Rockler’s Carbide Turning Tool to carefully remove the carbide cutter from the tool. Make sure not to misplace the retaining xxxx .
2. Place the diamond honing plate on a clean and stable surface, with the non-slip foam backing facing down.
3. Carefully place the carbide cutter into the recess on the appropriate side of the magnetic grip, making sure that the cutting edge is facing out. The hole in the cutter will fit onto the nib of the grip, and the magnet will hold the cutter in place.
4. Hold the diamond honing plate in place on the surface with one hand. Then, holding the magnetic grip with your fingertips, place the flat face of the cutter on the honing plate.
5. Apply slight, even downward pressure on the magnetic grip and cutter. Slowly move the grip back and forth along the diamond honing plate, trying not to rock the grip. Make a couple of passes and then inspect the cutter to ensure it is being honed evenly. Continue the process, maintaining even downward pressure and trying not to rock the magnetic grip. Only a few passes should be required to hone the cutter.
Please note that the Carbide Cutter Sharpening System is designed for touch-up honing only. If the carbide cutter is chipped or damaged, it should be replaced rather than attempting to sharpen it with this system.
