RE: Stropping State-of-the-Art - bandit571 - 12-17-2021 About the use of the blue jeans...really quite safe...as long as you remember to PULL the chisel with the edge pointing away from you..just like on a normal strop.. 3 pulls back on the bevel, 1 pull on the back, 2 pulls on the bevel, one final pull on the back...check for any burrs. Pulls can either be up the pants leg, or across....I'm sitting down anyway....so I guess that could count as set-up time for the "strop"? ps: I usually only go to 2500 grit, then either the old leather work belt strop, or the Unicorn Wheel....then back to work. Don't really want to use the 6" grinder. I usually use the 6" disc sander to produce a flat bevel..then oil stones (2) then the 1000, 1500, 2000, and then the 2500 grits....A small blob of 3in1 oil to help out...so, where do I set the paper at...why right on top of the last oilstone...floating the paper on a thin layer of oil... Stone is, after all, flat enough to work, makes a nice flat surface to sit the wet-or-dry paper on...the oil tends to keep the paper in place..no need to clamp it, Jed. Hmmm. ....have yet to try the 3000 grit.....YMMV ( I have work to do..) |
