Hi,
I have a question about sharpening gauges on the slow stone grinder. On the fingernail and bowl gauge the video says to use the gauge jig with the center pivot point. This cahnges the wing angle of the factory grind dramatically. i set the angle of the nose nut when I rock the gauge left and right it cnages the angle on the sides. I use a diferent jig for the rough gauge and I simply rotate it left and right not swing it.
I know the factory grinds are not ideal and by watching the video I would assume I want a different angle on the wings as apposed to the nose of the Fingernail / bowl gouge. but before I take a substantial amount of material off of my gauges I want to be sure. They are Sorby chisels 8pc set. you can see them at the following link, http://www.amazon.com/Robert-Sorby-H6542-Turning-Tool/dp/B00012X7LQ
If I need to I can post some pictures to explaine this better
