Ted, The CD I got with my kit said; Turn on the wheel and lightly press the rouge up against the wheel.

I got suckered in to buying a grinding wheel 1/2 h.p. it had a paper wheel and a "sharpening abrasive" wheel to reset the edge. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/paperbag.gif" alt="" />

I had no training in this fine art other than watching the CD that came with it. I butchered three knives before I put it in the closet. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I do worlds better with The Sharpmaker. CPM-M4,CPM-S35VN,M390,CPM-S30-V,154CM,...you get the point. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Every steel I own I can handle with the rods. Hi-speed wheels just aren't for me. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />


Peace.
