Ahhh! Third shift ate my brain. I mistyped, I was tired, sorry.
On stock that is just under 1 1/2" x 1/4" I started with the 5. This actually was perfect and I should have stopped. The edge was brought down to my scribed lines and the grind worked it's way up to the spine. I kept going onto the 3.5 and it cut into the spine.
Does 5 degrees seem correct? What degree do suggest for this size?
I followed your video on set up. Set the jig on the wedge setting on my platen. Put the bubble in the middle. Idiot proof, whats worse than an idiot? I hope not me?
I mark my edge line. Start with the 5 degree. If this gets the grind to the edge line and the spine, this is where I stop.
If not I move down in degrees, 4,3.5 etc. , until I get the grind to the spine. Do the same on the other side. duh
Then, when done I have the same angle on both sides. Correct?
My idea is that the thicker and narrower the stock the more of an angle is required. Correct?
Thanks Fred!:thumbup:
