more toothy thoughts

[Rupert Lucius]

Over thirty years of sharpening on belts I have never had a belt catch and or etc sharpening into the edge.

Masters like Mr. Jerry Hossom have warned me.

Only had one belt to separate at the glue joint - for a moment my heart stopped.  Replaced the belt and continued the sharpening session.

For some unknown reason I tell sharpeners that it is a no no (sharpening into the edge with a belt).

My opinion less burr to deal with. A better sight angle viewing the edge being sharpened.
