Hi all, I am new here and to turning, so be kind at my ignorant question.
With regard to sharpening, do you prefer to turn with a burr or a keen edge.
I am entering this turning world from kitchen knife world where I can free hand sharpen a killer edge by almost anyone’s standards. I progress through several grits and remove the burr to a very keen edge.
I have a new grizzly wet grinder for the woodturning tools, 220 then a leather wheel with stropping compound. I know from my kitchen knife work, removing the burr gives a very keen, durable edge.
How do you deal with the burr on your turning tools?
Thank you,
Ben
