Hi All,
Very satisfied with my Pro Edge, easy to use and consistent results. The problem is that I'm a bit of a novice and I really need more in the way of instruction and guidance than is provided in the small handbook that comes with the Pro Edge.
I've seen the training video which is good as far as it goes but I still need more. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance...
JonF.

took the words right out my mouth Jeff :-)
Jonf.....please don't be shy, these forums if used properly are an extremely useful resource that not only tailor a response to your circumstances but often add several different perspectives from different approaches people have taken to solve the same problem. It will build into a massive knowledgebase of useful information. It all starts with you at your bench scratching your head and wondering "now how do I do that" :-)
Just fire away no matter how trivial you might think, its only easy when you know the answer.

I completely stink at sharpening. I purchased the PE, and I still stink at it. I blame myself entirely!! How do I get started and improve? I purchased some harbor freight turning tools just to practice. It made me too sad to practice on my "real" tools. Ok, guys, I am ready to learn.

Lets start with one tool. Choose a tool, read the manual from the Pro-edge and have a go. Then report back here with how you think it went. It will be easier for forum members to troubleshoot rather than just document the procedure by rote since that's more or less done in the manual. One tip before you start, if you search youtube for Sorby pro edge you'll find some very useful tips on the right method. They always look easier in the videos than they are in practice and there is a skill to all this. A lot of it is to do with sharp abrasives ie don't let the belt get too worn and a light touch that doesn't overgrind in any one spot.
