Grinding (Fig. 7)
Since the grindstone rotates only slowly, a movement
can be seen in the lateral direction. This is normal
and does not exert any negative influence on the
grinding result.
Expert tip: New tools still show traces of the produc-
tion process. You can substantially increase the life-
time of your tools if you grind them on both sides of
the cutting edge before the first application. You sim-
ply grind the back side in the freehanded mode on
the vertical of the grinding stone, and the front side
as follows.
After you have set the angle, insert the tool mounted
in the device on the universal support, turn on the
motor, and start the grinding process. Press the tool
evenly onto the grinding stone near the cutting edge,
and move it crosswise across the stone.
Please make sure that at least half the width of the
cutting edge comes into contact with the grinding
stone at any time to avoid damages of the stone.
To achieve finer grinding results, prepare the stone
using the Stone preparer. Thereby you increase the
graining from 250 to approximately 1000. The SP is
available as an accessory from your scheppach deal-
er.
The height of the Universal Support can be set exactly
with the knurled nut attached to the Universal Support.
Sharpening (Fig. 8)
Never sharpen against the direction of grinding! Oth-
erwise, the tool will cut into the leather!
Impregnate the leather disc using weak machine oil.
Then apply abrasive paste on the leather disc. Turn
on the device, and distribute the abrasive paste by
pressing the ground tool with circular movements on
the wheel.
These preparations are sufficient for five to ten tools.
Then, you start again with a new layer of machine oil,
followed by new abrasive paste. These measures in-
crease the lifetime of the leather and the quality of
your tools.
Expert tip: You can work in the freehanded mode for
the trimming itself. You achieve a more precise result
if you keep the tool in the device in the position in
which you ground the tool.
With the star grip screw on the rear side of the ma-
chine housing (see Figure 2), you can set the contact
pressure on the friction wheel. This is necessary if
when trying the honing wheel stops.
