This Machine is a for sharpeners and edge fabricators
There are many preferences when producing an edge
Just like sharpening any cutting tool,
First, there is the environment (what is the situation)
New edge
Regrind
Pick up the angle
New angle
Edge Profile
Convex
Concave
Double bevel
Single Bevel
Micro Bevel
Hone
Profiled (serrated)
Machined square and flat platens with Foam-backed Teflon surfaces Make edge restoration a dream
no more trying to match angles
A well-braced supple flat belt area produces an accurate edge with a predictable shape with a tolerant range of movement
