Thanks to all the replies on this topic, especially the ones pointing out
the type 27 grinding wheels, which of course were always designed for this
purpose (I feel stupid now). Thanks again.

Hello, I am a newbie here but not new to NG. I am trying to sharpen a
woodturning skew (looks like a chisel ground @ 45 degree angle or so. MFG.
says hollow grinding not suitable for this tool. I read on a new grinding
wheel I purchased that there is an exception for not grinding on the side
of the wheel in ansi code b7-1. I did a google, yahoo, you name it search
and just got the same reference and/or a website to purchase this code
book for $125. Hoping some of you guys might have a clue what they are
talking about. In the mean while I will hollow grind it to keep from
having a grinding wheel removed from my chest @ the hospital. :-) Thanks
in advance.
