- How accurate is EdgeTune™ Pro?
Very accurate, assuming you start with a flat base and follow
the instructions. The ceramic grinding top surface should be
dressed square.
The bevel angle glide strips have a thickness tolerance of only
±3%, and the overall bevel angle tolerance is ±
1/10°. Even the pros could not detect such a slight variation!
- Will the grinding stone damage or remove too much edge material?
No. The EdgeTune™ Pro bracket precise adjustment screws
that guard against uneven or excessive edge grinds... all that is
required are smooth, gentle strokes of the tool along the edge
(ie, simply let the tool do the work). The ceramic stone is a
very fine #600 grit (like fine emery cloth) and removes only a
few thousandths of an inch per pass... significantly less
material removal than a sharp hand file. The ceramic stone also
has extremely low heat generation, preventing any edge steel
material tempering. Edge durability is enhanced through slight
work hardening, which is true of all grinders.
- How long do the ceramic stones last?
The new EdgeTune™ Pro design provides extremely long stone
life. The kit includes 3 stones which should last for years.
- How does EdgeTune™ Pro compare with Verdonak Racing's
SnowGlide and Wintersteiger's DiscMan?
Only EdgeTune Pro can grind a hollow radius edge! All 3 provide an excellent, smooth sharp edge superior to hand
filing. EdgeTune™ Pro has a finer grit, which provides less
striations (smoother surface finish) with less material removal
and less heat. This saves the edge material, and is ideal for
re-sharpening the edge without changing bevel angels
significantly.
- What rotary tools are compatible with EdgeTune™ Pro?
Black & Decker™ RTX and Dremel™ (Craftsman).
These are the popular models that have a US threaded bezel for
screw-on accessories like a flex shaft. European and Asian
rotary tools with metric threads (like Clarke, Yeyi and several
others) are not compatible at this time. EdgeTune Pro is
compatible with all international Dremels having a screw-on
accessory collar.
- I already have a Dremel. Is there a kit for me?
Yes. Dremels work great with EdgeTune™ Pro, especially the variable
speed corded models and the new Dremel Lithium Ion cordless
8000, 8200 series. Rotary power tools
should be rated 25,000 RPM or higher. Visit the Buy page
for more details on the "Order without Dremel" kit.
- Is EdgeTune affiliated with Black & Decker or Dremel?
No. EdgeTune, Inc. has no business affiliation with any rotary
tool manufacturer. We simply buy and re-sell their products untouched
in their original packaging. All rotary tool manufacturer warranty
and service needs must follow the guidelines included in their
instructions.
- Where can I buy this product?
All three kits (with corded Dremel, with cordless Dremel, and with no Dremel)
are available for purchase through this site.
- Where do I go if I’ve got a problem?
If the problem is with the rotary tool, follow the instructions
that came with the tool. For all other problems, please e-mail
us at service@edgetune.com
