Sharpening tips with bench grinder--tips?
I put a green carborundum wheel on my bench grinder for sharpening my
roller ski tips, I have not been crazy about the results. I tru to sharpen then using the two different angles, but end up having mixed results and the tips seem to get dull fairly quickly. Any hinkts? I'm being careful to keep them from getting hot, but maybe I'm getting the angle wrong or something. |

Sharpening tips with bench grinder--tips?
When you say two different angles, I'm assuming you bevel them with two
equal edges. I started by using a single bevel to a point, which worked well. Then a shop put in a double bevel, insisting that was best, but the poles slipped constantly. So I asked them to use a single and they put in a long one with a very short one to the point and that's been much better. Good to have a diamond hand stone for in between grinds.

I'm being careful to keep them from getting hot, but maybe I'm getting the angle wrong or something. I'll try that and see how it works. |
