December 2024 - Sharpening

At our December 2024 meeting, Tim Harteau covered common sharpening issues, jigs and fixtures to improve your sharpening techniques. Sharpening your woodturning tools is crucial because a sharp edge allows for smooth, controlled cuts, producing better quality finishes with less effort, minimizing the risk of accidents, and preventing damage to your workpiece by enabling you to take finer shavings instead of tearing or splintering the wood when using a dull tool; essentially, a sharp tool cuts efficiently and precisely, making the woodturning process safer and more enjoyable.
