“Using a Record Power Whetstone Grinder"
by Gary Pope
​
Refer as well, to the very informative summary of 'grinding' presented by Club Member Bruce James last July at knoxwoodies.org.au/2023-07
​
Enlightened by his discussion, the Club purchased a Record Power Whetstone Unit, and it is recommended that Members follow the tips in the following videos before attempting use. The unit is mounted in the middle of the Woodturning room at the Club.
​
The unit was supplied by local representative of Record Power: MMVIC. See details at:

​
​
The Club's Library computer has a set of 5 videos that well explain, in detail, all the features of the WG250 model purchased. But here are some more videos, that Members, and other interested Woodies, can watch at home.
