This path breaking system has revolutionised the sharpening of carving tools.
It is supplied as a boxed kit with full instructions on how to convert an
inexpensive grinder to an efficient honing machine.

1. A rubberised grinding wheel 3/4 in wide by 4 in diameter and 1/2 in bore.
2. A stitched cloth dolly mop 3/4 in wide and 6 in diameter. This is set up for a pigtail thread but can easily be bored to suit your shaft.
3. Approximately 500 grams of our special green polish. This is melted onto the dolly by friction heat to provide the means for a fine finish your tools.
4. A dressing stone which is used to true and flatten the rubberised wheel.
