Sharpening carbide

Dec 30, 2006 2 Replies

Hi All



I just purchased a Harbor Fright tool grinder. (Yeah, I wish I could afford better) I have it all set up and she seems to be running properly. I now have come to the realization that I have never actually sharpened any carbide tooling before. I didn't find much on the Web. Could someone please give me some pointers on sharpening carbide tooling? What about the coolant? Just use water? How much? The amount of pressure of tool to wheel to use? Etc.



Thanks in advance and a happy and prosperous 2007

If you use coolant, use flood coolant. Otherwise grind dry. Intermittant cooling will cause carbide to crack.
