How to Grind--Ed Tools.

Edge tools are fitted up by grind
ing. The sharp grit of the grind
stone being hader than the iron or
steel, cuts very small channels in
the surface of the metal, and the
revolving disk carries away all the
minute particles that are detached
by the grit. If we were to examine
the surface of the tool that has lust
been removed from a grindstone
under the lens of a powerful micro
scope. it would appear, as it were,
like the rough surface of a field
which has recently been scalified
with some implement which formed
alternate ridges and burrows. Hence,
as these ridges and burrows run to
together from both sides at the cut
ting edge, the newly ground edge
seems to be formed of system of
minute teeth, rather than to consist
of smooth edge. For this reason,
tool is first ground on rough
stone, so as wear away the steel rap.
IDLY; then it is polished on a wheel
OF much finer grit; and finally, in
order to reduce the serrature as
much as possible, a milestone of tho
finest grit must be employed. This
gives a cutting edge having the
smallest possible serration. A ras or
for example, does not have cutting
edge, as one may perceive by view
ing it through microscope. Be-
ginners are sometimes instructed.
when grinding edge tools, to have
the stone revolve towards the cut
ting edge, and sometimes from it.
When the first grinding is being
done, il isA matter Of indifference
whether this is done or not; but
when the finishing touches are APP
piled near and at the very edge,
grinder can always complete his
task with more accuracy If The peri
phery of the griudstone rcyolves
toward the cutting edge, rs the steel
that Is worn away viii he removed
more easily; whereas wEeu a ,stohe
runs in the opposite alec.ioA, H.
grinder can not always TEL t,.qc,ly
when the side Of the tool is ground

ropy sediment will often be found and
