Veritas MKII Power Sharpening System
Frank Mutchler in Colorado Springs
>I just took delivery of this unit yesterday afternoon. I was not able to use the unit because the Tool Guide Bar was missing. Oh well, I had to at least turn it on and when I did the platter looked like it was wobbling (sp)...so I decided to check a few tolerances.
I set up a dial indicator to see how much run out the platter has and was really surprised to find a total of .002" in the center of the platter and only .004" at the outside edge. The perceived wobble was the result of the platter not being perfectly concentric with the aluminum mounting plate and has no influence on the sharpening process itself.
I thought I'd have every plane iron, chisel, kitchen knife, etc. in the whole neighborhood sharpened by now but such is life. One thing is for sure, the folks up in Canada are certainly paying attention to detail here.
