Grinding

Grinding is done at lower grits to prepare or repair a plane iron or chisel before honing

Most often a grinding wheel is used because the process is faster 

The chisel or plane iron is placed upside down on a tool rest that is set to grind 25 degrees, the wheel produces a Hollow Grind

When grinding a 25degree bevel of a chisel or plane iron,

Be sure to grind the entire surface of the bevel.

it is apparent when the entire bevel is ground when only one reflection of light bounces back from the newly ground surface

 Only once this is archived may you proceed to the honing process

 In most cases if you are a true craftsman and take care of your chisels and hand planes, 

grinding need be only done once.
