I'm getting tired of spending 45 mins. to shape and sharpen a new graver blank. These new C-Max gravers are particularly tough! I usually use an 8 inch grinder and a course stone to do a bit of the gross reduction and then go to the Power Hone. I've been thinking of the Tom White high speed hone but am a bit afraid of the heat build-up using such speeds. Will this friction heat adversely affect the temper of the graver? What do you guys do to prepare a new blank?
