I agree with you on one point Mr. Rupert; we have made sharpening way to difficult and complicated. Unless you are going for some super polished edge, sharpening is super simple and very quick.
Burr removal is more difficult, and in my mind, just as if not more important than the actual sharpening.
Of course, I could be laboring under a delusion, but I have not seen that a buffing wheel can completely remove burr. I've tested it a number of times with both sharpness testing and microscopy. It did not pan out. There was always burr remaining.
Concerning Scotch Brite duburring: As I mentioned before I've found it to dull an edge so I want to make sure I'm understanding you correctly. Are you saying that you use the Scotch Brite wheel to deburr the edge right after sharpening?
What do you mean by "use instead a 3M EXL 8 inch wheel to blend with" ? What do you mean by "blending"?
Sorry for being a bit slow!
