How to Sharpen a Chisel using Waterstones and a DMT Dia-Flat Lapping Plate
Morton provides a thorough run-through of one way to sharpen your chisels using a grinder, a set of Norton waterstones, and a DMT Dia-Flat lapping plate. This process gives a hollow-grind to the bevel of the chisel (on the grinder), making it easier to reference on the waterstones. The waterstones are kept dead-flat using the DMT Dia-Flat diamond lapping plate.
