The unique design of this used Wen wet wheel incorporates the features most desired in a wet grinding and sharpening machine. A sharp tool makes any cutting job easier. Hollow grinding has been known for ages to produce a superior, keen cutting edge. The curvature of the wet wheel creates this hollow ground edge. Friction produced in the grinding process generates heat which could ruin the temper of the blade or tool being sharpened. The unique wiper keeps the grinding wheel and cutting edge cool. The grinding wheel is porous and will absorb the water like a sponge. Centrifugal force keeps the water on the wheel?s surface which gives the wheel a wet sheen. Capillary attraction pulls water from the reservoir through wiper which maintains an evenly wet grinding surface. The wiper also wipes the wheel clean of swarf, the gritty residue which grinding produces. Once wheel is soaked and reservoir is full of water, the machine will stay wet and cool for hours of use. The retaining leg, when extended and hooked over a table or bench edge, prevents the wet wheel machine from moving when doing heavy grinding. Leg folds up and out of the way when not required. The adjustable angle selector guide enables accurately positioned tool?s cutting edge to the grinding wheel at precisely the right angle for each job, and also maintains the proper clearance between the tool rest and grinding wheel. When sharpening knives, this wet wheel machine will set the sharpening angle at about 8-1/2°. The adjustable tool guide enables for a square or angled cutting edge for chisels, screwdrivers, putty knives, etc. Guide can be moved into 3 different positions.
