TCT 3000g Diamond Sharping Disc

This 100mm diameter, 3000g sharpening disc is designed for sharpening carbide cutters. To use it, create a wooden flat 100mm faceplate with a 16mm tenon that fits the disc's hole. Secure it with a large washer and screw, and remember to seal the timber as it will be getting wet.
 
Alternatively, we can create one for you. We offer three thread options:

Instructions for use:
Set your faceplate and sharpening disc on the lathe at 300 rpm.
Mount the cutter in your battery-powered drill using the shaping dowel provided with the tool.
Spray a small amount of water on the disc.
Run the drill in the opposite direction of the lathe while touching the heel/bevel of the cutter's face to the wheel.
Move the drill towards the lathe's headstock until the cutting edge touches the disc.
It's helpful, especially when starting, to mark the entire cutting surface of the cutter with a permanent marker pen to see what you're sharpening clearly.
A useful tip is to run the cutting edge over your fingernail. If it shaves off a piece, it's still not sharp enough; it should dig in immediately.
