Edge Pro Sharpening Tips, Mistakes, and Lessons Learned

Yeah, I've used 1/2" wide stones on recurves. First, use a flattening stone to bevel/round the corners of your 1/2" stones.

Any chance you can elaborate on this ? Trying to figure out how I would do this. Don’t want to attempt on an expensive custom
 
I just rounded the corners off mine so they would sharpen in the middle of the stone instead of just the 2 edges
 
fwiw - Congress Tools sells stones used by machinists and die makers.

The Moldmaster stones are hard silicon carbide for very reasonable prices. They work well on the Edge Pro when diamonds are not necessary.

CT offers quite a few sizes including round shapes for a recurve.

I have the moldmaster 1×6 stones mounted to edgepro blanks works really well for badly damage edges or for a major reprofiling or thinning. The only downside is they do shed a lot. This keeps fresh cutting abrasive always at the ready. But if you have a lot of knives to do it will get a little messy. Still worth it when you need it
