“Left belt is Surgi-sharp applied with Tormek PA-70. It killed the burr and honed the edge very well. I can get 50~70 BESS with my kitchen knife. But I think 2700 SFM is too fast for using it.”
I agree that 2700 SFM seems too fast. That is why I converted my Viel to variable speed, and switched to the smaller drive pulley.
If 50 to 70 BESS with your Viel, leather belt and PA70 is not sharp enough for you, you might try using some of Ken Schwarz' diamond compounds going down to .1 micron.
How many costomers are willing to pay for that level of sharpness?
