DEBURRING

After every skate sharpening and before testing the edges, we recommend deburring both sides of the blade with a deburring stone, rubber stone or leather strop. In any sharpening (manual or automated), when the stone cuts the steel, it is cutting out the desired hollow and often this cut will leave behind steel that has “folded over” the sides of the blade. By using a deburring stone, you can easily remove this folded over steel and ensure the two edges of your steel are clean. When selecting which deburring stone to use – here is a helpful guide.
