In any sharpening (manual or automated), when the stone cuts the steel, it is cutting out the desired hollow and often this cut will leave behind steel that has &#x201C;folded over&#x201D; the sides of the blade. By using a deburring stone, you can easily remove this folded over steel and ensure the two edges of your steel are clean.&#xA0;</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: calc(var(--font-body-line-height-scale) * 1.6); text-rendering: optimizelegibility; word-spacing: 0.001em; font-feature-settings: &quot;kern&quot;; font-kerning: normal; color: rgb(42, 42, 43); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 500; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="font-family: Inter; font-size: 16px;">When selecting which deburring stone to use &#x2013; here is a helpful guide:</span><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Inter; font-size: 16px;">&#xA0;<img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/qgaXzxaEq5dxvDWO/hc/8X1Bk7dLol7KgRm0/2024041720-1382c436-4de9-4143-b080-7d1354aff42b-screen%20shot%202024-04-17%20at%204.10.35%20pm.png" style="width: 345px;" class="fr-fic fr-fil fr-dii"><img src="https://attachments.gorgias.help/qgaXzxaEq5dxvDWO/hc/8X1Bk7dLol7KgRm0/2024041720-129dad41-e132-4b39-94bd-d21e337d4cf8-screen%20shot%202024-04-17%20at%204.10.53%20pm.png" style="width: 314px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib fr-fir"></span></span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px 0px 1.25rem; padding: 0px; font-size: 17px; line-height: calc(var(--font-body-line-height-scale) * 1.6); text-rendering: optimizelegibility; word-spacing: 0.001em; font-feature-settings: &quot;kern&quot;; font-kerning: normal; color: rgb(42, 42, 43); font-family: Montserrat, sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 500; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="box-sizing: border-box; font-family: Inter; font-size: 16px;">The rubberized stone in the Coated Steel Kit should be held at a 45 degree angle on the edge of the skate blade. &#xA0;The honing stone should be held flat along the side of the skate blade. </span></span></p>
