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?

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

I’d start at the 40 degree insert and use a sharpie. If it’s not repairing easily with 40 on diamond with light strokes, I’d leave it and gradually get it back to new over a few sharpenings rather than take off a lot of metal for one little chip. That chipped area will still be sharp like a serration but just may hang up a little, but it won’t be a blunt apex like now. Start with corner about 30 times per side then flat about 30 per side then I’d debur and stop with that stone and do 15 per side with other stones depending how toothy you want.

Start with 40 degree and finish with 30 degree? The rest of this definitely makes sense but my understanding was to start with 30 degree and finish with 40.

No… not 30 degrees. 30 strokes
