Edge leading/ edge trailing style of sharpening has also important impact on burr formation and consequently on deburring.
Generally, burr formed by edge leading sharpening is smaller and easier to deburr than a burr formed by edge trailing sharpening.
I have now a good opportunity to compare both approaches. On Tormek I sharpen in the edge leading regime while on a belt grinder I sharpen in the edge trailing regime. The diameter of the grinding/contact wheel is the same in both cases.
