BEIT SANDE Sharpening a chisel or plane iron with a belt sander may seem a little unnerving. But prgect designer Kent 'Welsh swears by this technique as the fastest way to get a sharp edge. Before letting the sparks fly, though, there are a few things to be aware of. First, sparks can cause a fire if they land in a pile ofdust and chips, so remove the dust bag and set the sander on a clean suface like a concrete floor.And second, set the sander on its side so the belt is on the /cf and running away from you.This way, the chisel won tear the Start w belt sander Then, "find" the just as before, and asainst the belt.This is i as the sander sharpens so only have one chance to get Now keep the chisel (or plane locked tightly against the sanding and give the trigger a puLL (Fig. 1).A few seconds is usually all it takes. Then, remove the burr (Fig.2,below).

When speed is of the essence, these fr,vo tips will give you a sharp edge in just a few seconds. Micro-Bevel - A microbevel is simply a steeper angle ground onto the tip of the bevel where it meets the back of the chisel ( eft ). Less material is being removed, so the sharpening goes much more quickly (Photo,near right). Drill Bit - Another technique is to use the shank ofa high-speed steel rwist bit like a burnishing rod to "crisp up" the cutting edge of the chisel, as shown in the far right Photo. .1-n4..-,-.r -.---- m,tu-s.;,;a'n|ir*'rr# \ To creote o micro-bevel, first find the bevel os shown in Fig. 2 on poge 35.
