CFM Tim Schroeder Posted Saturday at 09:57 AM CFM Report Posted Saturday at 09:57 AM (edited) Just built a deck out of Ipet. Second or third hardest wood you can find. Figured some scrap pieces would make good strop boards. I would have run them thru the planer to thin them down but I was afraid it would tear up my planer. Just ordered a new set of edge bevelers so i built a new strop board for them. I had already sharpened my big Gomph French edgers to 3000 grit but just bought a pack of sandpaper from 1000 grit to 10000 grit and have been sharpening tools for the last week. Now I have a sharpening jig and strop that fit each of my French edgers perfectly. Also have the strop wheel on my wet stone grinder. Great for the swivel knife and anything else you can get on it.
