Description

PDF

Print as per the 3mf file

Text upwards and you should not need any supports

 

Take them off the print bed and remove any burrs

Then get a tealight candle and remove it from the tin and rub it over the bottom of the guide to make it slide easily, or use some other kind of wax

 

Set the platform to 80º

Engage the guide with the slot on the platform

Put your drill on in the V and line the cutting edge at 90º to the belt travel

Start the grinder and feed the drill slowly forwards while moving the guide backwards and forwards (you own a sorby you know what todo)

Work you way up the grits if you want

 

Now set the platform to 60º

And using a coarse belt grind the relief angle as per the picture and try not to take the cutting edge off
