HI All:
I'm Gary from Massachusetts. USA
I have a question regarding a new GRS Power hone.
I just got a new 260 grit diamond wheel. I shaped and sharpened 2 Glensteel gravers a 120 and a 90. I went thru the grits 600, 1200 and cerimac lap then charged leather.. All using the GRS Dual Angle fixture.. The gravers look great and cut smooth and clean. I also sharpened a GRS Liner after roughing it to shape on a bench grinder.
Now my question is, I have only sharpened these 3 gravers and the area on the 260 grit GRS diamond wheel seems to be much smoother than the centre of the wheel which has not been used and it does not cut like it did at first.
Did I do something wrong?? I have Sam's graver sharpening video and I followed it..
Could I have a bad wheel or did I do something wrong.. Using steel on a diamond wheel ???
Or could it be that the diamond wheel just needed a break-in period, and now it will always cut like this???
I Figured I'd ask the PRO's..
Thank you for taking the time to read this..
