I know that only the fisrt 10 mm have to be flat, but this doesn’t solve the problem of plates that are not flat. When I got the plates I’ve checked them with a Starrett combination square and the have been flat.
Maybe I’m just the unlucky one who got plates that are not flat. We’ll see.7 July 2018 at 5:42 pm #549190Ther are EZ-Labs Diamond stones (like Paul Sellers suggests). These are Aldi chisels ( as Paul Sellers suggests)- I’ve also flattened one chisel on a thick and flat stone plate with 80 grid paper. Then I went on the coarse grid plate and I can see that it hits the whole face of the chisel. Perfect so fa. But then as I rotate the chisel 90 degrees (because the medium plate is in the middle of the holder) it does’nt hit the full face of the chisel. For my understanding this should proof the diamond plates are NOT flat. My big problem is that Mr Sellers says again and again that every single diamond plate he used has been perfectly flat. I’m a beginner and maybe I’m getting something wrong.
Next step will be to try going through all levels of sandpaper on the flat stone. If this works I guess there is something wrong with the diamond plates.31 May 2018 at 2:27 pm #548326Thank you very much!
I’ve watched the instructions on the DVD where Paul does it one the diamond plates and since this is what I’ve got and it looked really easy and fast on the DVD i did it like that. I will get a flat surface and some paper and will try that tomorrow. I do use glass cleaner and when sharpening chisels it’s really fast.
Sorry if my questions was answered somewhere else on the forum, still have to get to know the forum and search functions. -
