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.

There is a newsgroup, rec.crafts.woodturning, in which you will find a great
deal of expertise on the specific topic of sharpening woodturning tools.
You might want to ask this there.
