Geez man, you're a braver man than I doing that stuff by hand with diamond sharpening plates. I do it by hand but I use little Diamond paddles and never let anything get out of square because it would be a nightmare resetting it. In fact, as far as possible, I try only to let small blades need stropping, rather than honing.
I agree keeping the blade stropped is the best way. This blade however was an old blade i picked up and the blade wasn't in great shape. I also agree the diamond paddles work great and I've used them in the past. As usual i like to show ways that i find work well and could help someone out that might have a diamond stone and no paddles. Personally i find using the diamond plate for this not different from a file, the diamond stone i am using are atoma with an alloy base so they are nice and light (forgot to mention that in the video)
Great video. I needed this one. Thanks.
My pleasure
I just got myself a Stanley #71 router with 1/2” cutter and complete with depth stop attachment - but no fence or the other cutters originally issued, 1/4” and V. It was all seized up but after a good spray of Lanox all the screws loosened up. I have yet to try it out. This video is very timely!
Excellent, enjoy your router plane.
Good quality diamond files are the best for the task of sharpening the bevel, with ample care to retain factory bevel angle.
I agree diamond files work well and have used them in the past. I just wanted to show another way it could be done, for those that don't have diamond files. I'd love to know what diamond files you use.
Thanks for your input
@AussieWoodshed I use a Eze Lap fine diamond paddle from Bunnings and a Tamiya diamond file from Hobbyco. The Tamiya file is excellent for sharpening Forstner bits and plug cutters.
@@anthonyseiver7000 excellent, thanks for that. Eze lap are the same ones I've used
Informative... thanks
My pleasure
