Last evening Scott Hackler was asking about the razor edge.......if it can come off the wheel of the CBN wheel. I told him that I had only honed skews with a diamond stone, but would try to put a skew to the CBN.
Did that this morning.......this is the large, Alan Lacer skew.....very heavy, and I always had difficulty with it because I thought the way I purchased it, the bevel was just way too fat.
With the CBN wheel, and just a few minutes [15] this morning, I completely changed the bevel to a wider bevel and a thinner edge............whoa boy, what an edge!!! I hope the pics show up well........my skills at close up are not that great, but let me say, I would not want to this thing to slip and hit my arm........stitches for sure!!! I failed to get the edge perfect, that was my fault..........I stopped so I could get the pics posted.....I should have gone another pass to make it perfect.
Now I do have on the edge a little spot discolored because I pressed too hard, but if one just lets the tool rest against the wheel, no discoloration occurs......take a look. By the way, even with this heavy grinding to reshape the bevel.....the wheel shows no wear whatsoever!!!
