Shaprening tools

[Mike5753]

In my garage I found a complete set of cutting tools. I think they are about forty years old. A little rust but look okay. I decided instead of buying some new tools I might try shapening these first. I do have a grinder also from same era. I was looking for a video on how to do this in the IAP library but unable to locate any info. Any suggestions where I might look.

You Tube has a few. As for the grinder you will need a slow speed grinder.
1725 RPM

Since they are old tools they will not be HSS so you will need to be careful not to over heat them. You do not need a slow speed grinder. Many people use regular grinders. Just don't over heat. Grind a little and then dip in water to cool. If you blue the tip then you are damaging the steel.
