Using Polishing Stones On Razor
Вставка

- I am using these polishing stones to sand a straight razor blade. These stones came from Falcon tool. They can also be found at Enco or MSC. I like the way they work on hardened steel. The polishing stones also make great sanding blocks.
Thanks to my cousin Andy for turning me on to these stones.

I was using the SE and PO polishing stones.
These look like they would be perfect for restoring blades with etchings. I'll have to give them a try. Thanks for sharing.
That might be a good application for the stones, I will have to try it.
I bought a bag of broken and assorted stones from Falcon. It is listed on one of their PDFs.
Some of the stones are aluminum oxide some are silicon carbide. They come in specific grits.
These are the stones that plastic injection molds are polished with. Mediocre for sharpening but great for getting out tool marks. Any machinist supply place will have them. Usually for cheap.
+xmaswitguns The polishing stones can be handy tools. They also make good sanding blocks for wet dry paper.
EDM stones rule!!! The trick for blade makers is to get the ones that are "softer" and more friable. The really hard ones don't work as well in this application. They are REALLY good for abrasion resistant steels like the CPM stuff and some cast carbon tool steels like Cru Forge V or 115W8.
Joe M Thanks for your advice, I totally agree with you.
Hello Lewis Razors, while I know this is an older video i'm currently employed at Falcon Tool and thank you for your business. If you ever need anything more we've done a LOT of updating since those "old" stones in the video. Check us out at www.Falcontool.com
Thanks for your post, you guys make quality, useful tools.
I see on their website they have a handful of different headings for polishing stones. Which ones are you using?
Lewis, I've got a little collection of vintage sheffield/solingen straights from antique shops. Can I use these to start with instead of sand paper? If so, do these remove metal faster? Anything to speed up the process would be great. Thanks, your videos are awesome.
+Darren Morris I like the stones better for removing metal and pits, they are good at keeping flat surfaces without rounded corners. Paper seems better for polishing especially at higher grits. I use both
Are these stones ceramic or aluminum oxide based.? Are there any grit sizes associated with the individual pieces?
