Edge Retention/Rolling Test Stand

[Rupert Lucius]

I've been following along on this thread since the beginning Mr. Rick KR so maybe can offer my understanding. The edge rolling test is done like a slicing test in that the bearing rolls up against and then down the edge and tries to push it over. The edge tester then measures how much the edge rolled. It's not like cutting rope in that the test is not designed to tell how much the edge might have been worn away by cutting the rope. Maybe cutting rope is just another way to roll the edge.  Maybe rope has abrasive in it and actually grinds metal away, I don't know. I think that if someone wants to know how much their edge has been ground away from cutting something that that would be a different kind of test. If I have this test wrong then someone can correct me. Hope i have it right and this is helpful to you.

Thanks Bud
