Recommend me some sharpening stones

[CaseHardened]

Had to file my AKT-EL trigger to make it fit with the bolt carrier on my AKs so I'm familiar with the process.

Random note: There is a small frog that lives in the drain pipe from the gutters. Thing is loud as hell right now.

S U M M E R !!!

I told the missus the cat could stay out all night if he wants. It's been too long.

i just use a normal mill file .. or that little flat one in the small file pack .. in the dollar bin ..

just bare file .. clean it a every now n then so it dont clog up ..

had to do this in the Navy making a screw Gage plate on brass .. all the thread sizes and shit and have a nice flat piece of brass ..

Whoa! Very clever! Your idea? What is the epoxy (?) for near magwell?

Combined with the FLATTENING STONE that would likely be quite nice.

AFTER you cobble together a wooden base for that stone that you can clamp down.

A stone that moves is worthless.

(And a nice cover to prevent damage.)

Comes with case/cover/holder that works well. At least is used to come with that.

Use a flat surface (eg marble tile) and wet sandpaper works well to flatten the Norton.

There are many paths to TRUE SHARPNESS.

Well, all this Sharpening Talk (and eBay's recent offer of a free Google Mini for a $150 purchase), finally inspired me to buy more stuff.

Diamond Stones

8" X 3" Extra Fine - and extra Hard - Stone that can even sharpen Ceramic Knives.

8-in. DuoSharp® Bench Stone HC™ Extra-Fine / Fine with Base

DMT W6XP 6" X 2" Extra Coarse for reshaping

DMT W6EF 6" X 2" Extra Fine - for a WoodRiver Spokeshave that has a blade that cannot be sharpened by a stone much wider than 2". (The blade has posts built into it that cannot be removed, and make it impossible to lay down flat on a wide stone).

6" Diamond Whetstone™ Sharpener with Plastic Box

Should be fun.

There is always Tormek.

 

[cgrutt]

Not positive they are same but you can buy replacement blade for the Wood River with removable post

Replacement Blade for Spokeshave

BTW much cheaper than a Tormek lol

I wound up getting several things. Some diamond plate stones, as well as a translucent Arkansas. Will let you know the results.
