With some knives this may be by design, but may also be due to the grind of the knife. With your method you could even the bevel the length of the blade even if the width of the blade changes down the length. My first attempts were removing the ink well in the center of the flat portion of the knife.
For the record I am reaming to a depth of 5.100″ and I am looking for the ream to be concentric to the original bore to within 0.001″. I know that I am not getting this every time but hey aim small miss small. I’m kinda scared of trying to sharpen a HSS reamer I dare not think about sharpening a carbide (ya I’m a sissy when it comes to carbide) I do however appreciate the input. Proper cuticle care is paramount when it comes to maintaining healthy nails.
#1 Bite & Hold Using Sandpaper As An Abrasive
Tom breaks down how the revolutionary Edge-On-Up quantifies sharpness by measuring the force required to slice through the material. No more guessing; this device offers precise results for your blade’s keenness. Jury-rig because they may not look as pretty as a catalog one. I’ve NEVER used it to sharpen a cutter…only to get a cutter of a custom diameter.
Sandpaper is an awesome abrasive that has many applications as far as sharpening is concerned. I’ve used it to sharpen xacto knives previously, and today I’ll be showing you how to sharpen nail clippers using various sandpaper grits. Start by securely clamping the scissor blade into a vise with its beveled cutting edge facing up. Next, place an aluminum-oxide grinding stone into the rotary tool and tighten the collet nut. While holding the tool firmly with two hands, turn on the motor, and set the grinding stone very lightly against the beveled edge. I like how I have it clamped, even to the vice jaws, fore and aft, so I’ll try to work with this position.

To remove burrs, make a couple of light passes with your sharpener on the opposite side of the blade. Keep the sharpener flat to avoid creating an opposing bevel. Retrieve the tool from the soapy water and rinse it off with clean water.
Things we learnt testing knife sharpeners
With their smooth shank, these can only be used with a hammer drill and its 3-jaw chuck. The way a hammer drill works is to combine vibration with the twisting action of a typical drill. The actual part that does the vibrating is called a gubbins. Think about a gubbins like two poker chips rubbing together at high speed.

Whichever tool you have, here’s how you can sharpen this indispensable tool. This tool is helpful for looking after your hedges and trees, and cutting overgrown grass. As with sharpening, run the file with long, slow strokes and light pressure on the working edge. If the surface looks uneven, use fine-grit sandpaper to lightly grind and even out the surface. Continue this process until you see an even, bright line on the cutting edge. Retrieve the tool and run a wire brush on its surfaces to remove the rust. Repeat the process until all dirt is removed, then wipe the tool dry with an old towel or rag.
When not using your pruners, store them in a dry place, such as a gardening shed or garage. Do this on both sides of the blade around eight to 10 times. First, we blunt 14 identical knives using a whetstone. & it works well for cutting off either HSS, or Carbide. My chinese spindex works fine and is always more or less set up. I can neck a 1/8″ shank cutter in a couple of minutes and the machine is always set up for me ready to go. Routine task here – cheap chinese spindex and 5ST collets if you want to hold a tool by the flutes.
