THE GRINDsToNE.-The periphery o
: every grindstone on which edge-tools ar
ground should run as true as the dresse
0 surface of milestone, as II Is impract
: cable to grind tool correctly on a ston
q that revolves with an uneven motion.
4 the periphery of a stone varies half a
8 inch In each revolution, the most e1
peditious way to put 1t in order Is to loose
n the wedges with which 1t is keyed to tn
:, journal, and rehdng it. Then secure tn
, bearings of the journal, so that they car
U not be easily lifted out of the boxes, an
: turn the periphery off true and smootl
D Let firm rest be fixed close to the per
phery before attempting to turn off tn
J, prominent portions. The rest must b
y solid with the surface close to the stone, 6
y that when the t ming instrument come
II in contact with the stone, 1t will remove
9 thin chip without springing away frol
5 the stone. Stone-turners always emplo
q for turning-tool the end of q bar of Ger
J soft iroa, drawn out to point, and turne
s up at the end for gouging. A piece (
, soft iron Is far more effective than STEEL
