That is a grading stone not for cleaning the stone, the water does this. For quick removal grade the stone to 220, then grade to 1000, also, you need to keep the chisel or plane iron moving or your stone will not stay flat, as per yours. You do need to put a micro bevel on at 30 degrees, this extends the sharpened edge. Read the instructions!
Too slow for my taste. I bought a course pink, Norton wheel several years back for my 1750 rpm bench grinder. Runs cool enough where I rarely have to dip in water before I get a new edge.
I have one and it seems it is really underpowered, as if I put a bit of pressure on the tool being sharpened the wheel nearly comes to a halt. I've tried adjusting the friction wheel with no success. Is there any way I can check that its working at the correct power?
Yes absolutely, so you have to go easy and use a pot of water, and yes can be a bit rough, but for getting the grinding angle then using a bench stone will get very good results
