  • Thanks for that plumbarb -

  • Yes it runs at a slow speed and is water cooled too. It's a Tormek and the idea is that it doesn't heat up the steel of the blade you are sharpening - heat changes the composition of the steel and makes the edge softer.

  • Seems Ok to me - it's the cheaper ones that are not too flat, or at least that's been my experience. Sorry for the delay in answering; I thought I had got back to you,

    Regards Allan

  • Is that a Clifton plane?

  • Thanks for this video Alan.

    Your voice is very much like your father's who taught me plumbing at Aberdeen Technical college in the 60's.

  • That grinder looks like it's not turning very fast. Is it a slow-speed grinder?

  • I heard that they are not always 100% flat

    Is yours flat?
