rktaylor Posted January 20, 2024 Report Posted January 20, 2024 Does anyone have instructions for sharpening rosette cutters? I have two punches from Weaver that are woefully dull. Thanks, Randy Quote

Moderator bruce johnson Posted January 20, 2024 Moderator Report Posted January 20, 2024 I sharpen the inside edges with a round diamond file. Once i have a bit of a bur all the way around I buff the out edges on a sisal wheel with black compound to take that bur off. I go back and do the inside with a hard felt or small leather wheel on a Foredom (Dremel works on lower speed) to take out grit marks near the edge, and buff the outside again to clean up any straggler burring.

rktaylor Posted January 23, 2024 Author Report Posted January 23, 2024 @bruce johnson, what grit do you have in the file? It looks like it's 1/4" diameter. Thanks, Randy Quote
