Considerably.

But it's way expensive and I don't think you can buy it without being a dental laboratory with an account with a supplier. Unfortunately.

So I finally got it completely honed last night. It was a bear to get the bevel set. I ended up using Martin's method more or less, except I used two layers of tape initially until the few tiny...

Hmmm, call dental labs in your area perhaps? They are awesome. You can control them by the unit or foot pedal, reverse the direction of spin, the handle twists to release the bit and lock it back....

The thing is really pretty awesome. I can use it to bulk grind porcelain or metal, then change bits and use it to delicately shape a .2mm porcelain margin without cracking or breaking it. Super...

It's the powered handpiece I use at work. Separate electric motor, variable speed controlled by a foot pedal. Extremely accurate from 0 rpm up through several thousand. I'll grab some pics in a...

Thanks! I didn't really have to do much at all except be careful polishing it. I didn't want it mirror smooth or I'd have sanded it first. It's old and I want it to have character!

Pics shortly. It's a...

I'll bear that in mind and not try to force it into any particular stroke or anything.

I'm dying to get it in and start to work on it!

Thanks for all the tips everybody.

Absolutely it is! I can't help but reflect on the history every time I take them out.

I'm not well versed enough to be able to tell honestly. I feel like it's cooler to rescue and use older tools like that though. Not sure what it is exactly. It's definitely deeper than my compulsion...

That's very much like the stamp on the tang. I wonder if this is an earlier or later one.

Pack a lunch eh..

I'm feeling good lately about my honing on my double hollows and half hollows, but I've never honed a wedge like this. The one pic of the point it looks really really wedgey. ...

Just got this guy on ebay. Looks good to me in the pics.

It'll be the only really wedgey blade that I have. Anybody have any...
