[stevie.c]

ive got a scheppach tiger wet stone.i was grinding some chipped chisels today and it seemed to take ages to take any steel off.ive probadly used to grinder to do about 30 sharpens.
can i buy a grader that makes to wheel courser or does the grader just "re-true" the wheel.

Steve yes you really need the stone grader - it dresses (unclogs) the stone. You have to be very firm (full weight pressure) and use it for up to 60s. Another advantage of the grader is it can also be used to make the stone a finer grit.
The grader won't true the stone - for that you need a truing tool. After truing the wheel you'll get an even more agressive cut (before using the grader).
