I use the tools straight off the grinder most times, on my skew chisel I hit it on the whetstone to knock the burr off. I can almost turn a plug that doesn't need sanding, but I sand them so the paint has something to grab. It's about how you turn, do you shear the wood off or scrape it off??? Scaping will dull a tool faster. It's hard to describe how to shear cut, but you touch the bevel of the tool on the stock first then you swing it in till the edge starts cutting. With a skew you actually hold the tool on the tool rest on the narrow edge, not on the flat.


I wish I had a low speed grinder beacuse the 3600 RPM one takes the temper outof the tool.
