Do any of you guys know an easy way to sharpen the cutters on a #71? 

lap/hone the bottom of the cutter..

Well, that's easy. Figured I'd have to hone the top too.

Thanks, Stick.

i have some old machinist stones (about 1"x3") which i use on the one I have.  You can then home the top and bottom of the cutter.   It's a pain to keep the angles; i know of no jigs at this point (haven't looked on the "tube" for any).

If just the bottom is honed, you'd just need to swipe the angles to remove the burr, right?
