ProEdge Zirconium belts designed for HSS Tool sharpening.
The ProEdge Zirconium belts are the ones to use if you have a range of high speed steel woodturning tools. These belts are specifically designed to sharpen HSS cutting tools.
Zirconium abrasive is stronger than the more commonly used aluminium oxide. Zirconium has a high resistance to dulling and can last up to 5 times longer when sharpening hard steel such as HSS.
The advantages of using the Zirconium belts for your HSS woodturning tools are that the belts will last longer and give a superior finish to the cutting edge. Use 60 grit for reshaping or repairing damaged cutting edges and 120 grit for maintaining a sharp cutting edge.
