Super fine (1200) deburring plate for the Trend Fast Track sharpening system, for quick removal of the burr on chisels and plane irons. Self-adhesive backed for easy fitting into the recess in the Fast Track base; retro-fits existing Fast Tracks. Pull the chisel or plane iron backwards when removing it from the Fast Track to deburr the cutting edge. The plate can also be stuck on a user-made backing board to hone other tools.
There are several good ways to sharpen chisels and plane irons: water stones, diamond stones, oil stones and sharpening machines such as Tormek. All give sharp edges, but they differ in speed, maintenance and price.
A honing guide makes it easier to keep the same angle every time. The most important thing is to find a method you enjoy and use often. The guide helps you choose.
Which water stone you need depends on how dull your edges are and how fine a finish you want. A common setup is a coarse stone around 1000 grit to shape the edge and a fine stone around 5000–8000 grit to polish it. For chipped edges you need a coarser stone too.
Water stones wear unevenly and need flattening regularly. The guide explains grits, brands and flattening.
