As promised after my rather quick demo at the end of the AGM, I have included a few links to videos on the correct use of the Robert Sorby Pro Edge.
Remember, The Pro Edge system MUST be used for sharpening the club tools. If you have your own HSS tools, then you can use any of the 3 sharpening systems but you should not use the CBN wheels for carbon steel as this damages and clogs the wheels.
If you have any questions, just ask.

Brian lives in Oadby, Leicester and has been turning professionally for about 7 years, specialising in making tools and handles, often to renovate old and often abandoned tools. He very kindly made available a printed page describing his demonstration which saved me a great deal of note taking !
For this evening’s demonstration Brian made a handle for a brand new 3/8” spindle gouge. The equipment needed for the project was listed as :-
The way the handle is produced is the same for most types and sizes of handles, all that changes are the overall dimensions.
