Sharpen minture tools

[herrwood]

I do not turn pens at least not at this time.
I do some work with miniature tools.
I presently have a set of crown miniature tools and a wolverine system.
The tools are too small to use the wolverine system.
I do sharpen them manually but wondering if there is a better way to sharpen miniature tools.
Thanks for any help

I can sharpen the gouge on my sorby pro edge. The skew won't work on it because it's too small. I was hoping they'd come up with an attachment at some point.

Similar, but different: Sorby Minature Turning Set.

I use these probably 50% for all my turning when doing detailed segmenting. I sharpen on a modified wolverine and slow speed grinder, then hone frequently. I rarely resharpen, but hone 3-4x per pen blank. The latter is with a 3 set diamond files.

I have a set of miniture tools and sharpen by hand on grinder when needed. Just need to find correct angle and what I do is color the end with sharpie and this lets me know if I am correctly holding the tool. Many times just a hone will do also.

I have not been honing my turning tools, but it is a good idea and it would help extended the need to sharpen.
I like the sorby miniture set you are using , I will have to get a set.
