For edge grain butt joints, glue provides all the muscle necessary. Biscuits help in alignment, but not strength.

others. In most cases, you will need to at least hone the bevel and cutting edge because the tool was only roughly ground by the manufacturer. In this case, I'll assume that the profile of the cutting edge and the bevel angle are correct for your needs.

In the worst case, the entire cutting edge will need to be reground to change the profile, adjust the angle of the bevel and finely sharpen it. First, use a coarse-grit

grinding wheel to reshape the tool, then switch to a fine-grit wheel to smooth the bevel and cutting edge and/or hone the tool's bevel and edge with a wet stone.

Some inexpensive turning gouges also have milling marks left inside the flute. These fine lines reduce the sharpness of the tool's edge. Remove them with a curved stone (known as a slip). Take care to avoid rounding over the tool's cutting edge.
