Your right about that! Sorry Rolf don't run off now.Not a big fan of the chisel grind. But the guillotine is a chisel grind. Hard to argue with it's results. Can't be all bad. Just saying.
Apology accepted
Very good point and thanks for the diagram. Am I right in thinking the addition of a secondary bevel on the convex changes this? I realise it changes the conversation from being about the edge to being about the grind more generally. I've done a crappy diagram for my own reference but I clearly haven't had enough coffee today![]()
You win the thread. :thumbup:
Once more just to beat a dead horse. You are correct, for fixed stock thickness and blade height, a convex DOES have a thicker cross section.
And that is becuase it has a more obtuse edge angle than the vee. (buggered)
But for a fixed edge angle....flat has a thicker cross section. (And in fact...get ready...for a given edge angle....hollow has the largest cross section.)
