Edging Tool Modification?

Recommended Posts

Is it possible to modify a standard flat edge beveller to a curved one - could I attack it with a small round needle file or will I just end up killing it forever?

Heck go for it. Won't know if you don't try it. I buy the Tandy tools and try grinding curved sides straight so they will work in different places.

I did mine, . . . I took a flat board, . . . ran a small groove in it with a saw, . . . glued a small wooden dowel into the groove, . . . coated the dowel with valve grinding compound, . . . and commenced to back stroke that edger on the dowel until it became round.

About a half hour.

I love it now, . . . it started life as a # 4, . . . now it is a # 4 round. I keep it sharp with a rounded piece of leather stuck between two boards, . . . coated with jeweler's rouge.

May God bless,

Dwight
