Imagine, if you can, sharpening your tools on a smooth spherical surface. This is precisely the surface produced on your grinding wheels when using our:
Tru N Dress Grand Slam and Crowning tool rest. Few people have experienced this, but I encourage you to try it. It is truly a unique experience.
To get an understanding of the resulting surface, I refer you to the drawing to the left. It is as if you took a 1" wide slice out of an 8" sphere
What are the benefits?
1) Significant heat is generated when grinding metals on aggregate based (stone) wheels. Heat can have an adverse effect, especially on tools, and some tool steels should not b quenched in water is not recommended for to cool some tool steels and they can become too hot to handle. When tools contact the flat surface of grinding wheel, a great amount of friction resulting in excessive heat. When a tool contacts a spherical surface the contact is very narrowly focused, minimizing the friction, thus minimizing the heat produced.
2) Many tools such as plane irons, chisels, woodturning Skews etc. have very straight sharpened edges. When refreshing the bevels on straight edges on a typical grinding wheel with a flat surface, if the position of the tool wavers even the slightest bit, the edge of the wheel will cut a groove in the edge of the tool. This requires reestablishing the edge, wasting valuable time and tool steel. The surface produced by the Grand Slam and Corwning tool rest results in about 1/64" high crown which allows for some variation in the position of tools, reducing the risk of damaging the tool, such as described above.
