A while back I rebeveled my Delica to 12 degrees per side (dps) and then finished on the 15 dps slots on the Sharpmaker, creating a microbevel and removing the burr from the coarser bench stone used for rebeveling. Normally I’d go back to the coarse stone then the Sharpmaker.
Just once I tried just using the Sharpmaker to keep going without using the coarse stone first. I did 10 passes per side on the brown triangle corners followed by deburring on the brown flats. This worked like a charm. I’ve done it a few times since whenever my edge dulls a bit from cardboard or dinner or whatever.
I know the micro bevel will eventually just be the bevel, but I’m going to try and see how long this will work. I’ve even dropped down to 5 passes per side, then go to 10 if that isn’t enough. I’m up to 4 times now. Any bets on how long this will keep working before having to go back to the coarse stone?
