Depending on the type of grinding you do, the grinding wheel may require periodic dressing.
A variety of dressing tools are available (see Accessories, Page 17) and can be used to restore the abrasive quality of the wheel surface and bring the wheel edge back to a square form.
Refer to the instructions that accompany your dressing accessory for complete details on how to properly dress a wheel.
The leather stropping wheel on the Model T10010 and the included abrasive strop- ping paste can be used to obtain a razor sharp edge on many tools. Before use, the stropping wheel must be properly prepared.
To prepare the stropping wheel:
1.DISCONNECT GRINDER FROM POWER.
2.Make sure the wet grinder is discon- nected from power and that the strop- ping wheel is not rotating.
3.Evenly apply a light machine oil to the leather wheel. Use enough oil to provide a thorough coating, but not so much as to saturate the leather and result in dripping.
4Apply a thin coat of abrasive honing paste to the leather wheel using a wooden spreader or similar device. Distribute the paste evenly by hand- turning the wheel while spreading.
5.Turn the machine on and continue to distribute the paste, still using the wooden spreader. Move the spreader lightly in a circular motion across the wheel.
6.Once the paste is evenly distributed, begin sharpening.
These preparations will be sufficient for sharpening five to ten tools. If you notice a drop in sharpening performance or have sharpened more than ten tools, repeat Steps
