T-W Designs - Diamond Power
Hone
Review by Steve Lindsay
I have been using this T-W Diamond Power Hone for some time. The speed in
which I can rough and finish a carbalt blank
is under two minutes with the machine. I use the machine to rough grind using
the Lindsay template fixture.
Once roughed I then rub the graver face on a Lindsay 2000 diamond bench diamond
stone with 10 to 15 strokes and then place on the heels with 3 to 7 strokes
per side depending on heel size needed. I use the machine at maximum speed
for this roughing. The motor has good torque and I can lean on the graver
somewhat that also helps. If grinding a High Speed Steel graver I take it
more easy and I don't lean on it as much so that the graver does not
get hot and lose its temper. Be careful with HSS graver and don't get them
so hot that they turn colors. I monitor the heat of HSS gravers with my fingers
while grinding for this reason.
