I’ve been enjoying this thread, and find it very informative and interesting especially considering I sharpen with a Kally. The funny thing is that I agree with everybody! Is there heating? Yes. Is it manageable? Yes. Is it worth discussing and understanding? Yes.
I agree with Mr. Me2 when he states, “All these issues are avoidable with enough experience, information, and a way to examine the results.”, and with Mr. Livesey when he said, “I think the take away should be that improper technique or equipment can cause the edge to overheat when power sharpening. There are numerous ways to prevent this from happening.”
One thing about the physical world, and life in general I suppose, is that there is never a free lunch. It’s always a give and take, a balancing act. You cannot sharpen without generating heat. In this case however, I think, (pun intended), it is simply a matter of degree°.
The fun and interesting part is that we are exploring the issue.
