it's interesting that there is no honing step and you just keep the burr left from the filing. I have no doubt this works but I wonder if there are any issues with coarseness of the burr and/or durability. I will have to give it a try!

@@mellery451 It's the forming of the burr that creates the cutting edge, unlike a chisel or plane iron where the burr interferes with the cutting edge.

Great to see the slotted collars in use, very rarely seen here in Britain now. I still get a lot of use out of the old "Whitehill" and similar cutter blocks which are also outlawed for commercial use here, but their versatility is not matched by any of the tooling produced today so are still very useful and economical for running bespoke mouldings. A pair of ground steel cutters and limiters from a company like Whitehill costs in the region of about £80 now, where with producing your own the steel works out around £5 per set and then just a bit of time grinding them out, it's a good skill to have.
@DTJoinery16 күн бұрын
Totally, being able to run to the grinder and adjust or grind afresh with some tool steel is so simple and practical, and as you say, so cheap. They are widely used in Australia still, and many joiners I know still run them regularly.
