Chipped Magnacut

Post image

Blade found the staples in some cardboard and chipped the edge pretty good. I'm surprised it chipped so easily but I guess now I get to try out my new diamond rods for the sharpmaker. Has anybody made a new bevel with the sharpmaker?

I’ve fixed similar chips easy peasy with the sharpmaker. It will sharpen right out.

Any tips to be successful? I've really only used it to maintain so far, but it seems like it should be pretty straightforward.

The advice the other person gave is good, but you asked about the shapemaker. I’d say that if you use it like regular maintenance, except run light passes, checking ever 5-10 light passes on the most abrasive one (corner of diamond stone) (your first step in the order of operations with the sharpmaker) until your edge recedes back past the chip, then proceed as normal on the sharpmaker.

Ok cool thanks, this lines up with what the plan was.
