When I work a stone on my grinder I find myself using a technique where, if I am not starting my point of contact at the edge of the stone, I touch the stone very gently to the grinding surface and slowly start to turn the stone and apply more pressure at the same time. If I can’t follow through with my motion all the way to the end of the cab then I lighten up pressure gradually before pulling away from the grinding surface. Sort of a feathering motion.
I’ve been at this for almost a year now so I am still a beginner. It’s only recently I became aware I was even doing this motion. Since I became aware of it I have used it consciously to good effect on my stones.
I hope this awareness may be of use to new cabbers, and I also hope you more experienced cabbers will advise me if there is a more advanced technique I haven’t blundered across yet in my usual way!
Thanx for considering this.
