In this video, Tormek’s sharpening expert demonstrates how to sharpen a cambered plane iron using the Tormek Sharpening System. You will learn a controlled and repeatable method for creating a slightly curved edge for optimal woodworking performance.

You will learn how to:
– Shape and sharpen a cambered edge profile with the SE-77 Square Edge Jig
– Set and adjust the bevel angle for your specific planing application
– Grind a smooth, even camber across the cutting edge
– Hone and polish the edge for a clean, durable finish

A cambered plane iron has a slightly curved cutting edge, which helps prevent track marks and allows for smoother material removal, especially when using jack or smoothing planes. The amount of camber can be adjusted depending on the task, from subtle for fine finishing to more pronounced for stock removal.

This guided sharpening method gives you full control over both shape and angle, ensuring symmetry and repeatability. By using Tormek’s water-cooled sharpening system, you avoid overheating the steel and preserve the edge properties while achieving a precise, consistent result.

The sharpening principle demonstrated in this video is the same for all machines in Tormek’s water-cooled sharpening system.
