Fred,

After reading yours, and the other posts I think you have hit the nail on
the head, with the use of 2 bevels. The cutting bevel means that the tool
cutting edge has body behind it giving strength, and the second bevel,
which could be called a clearance bevel as it gives clearance from the
surface giving greater manoeuvrability. This to me makes most sense, so I
will be giving it a try shortly.


Watch your regrinds. A long bevel planes shallow, a short bevel turns
corners, and a secondary bevel may just provide another heel to bruise the
work. It can also complicate your entry poke.


Entry peel, George... Now that you've made me a "Peel don't poke" convert, don't
change religions on me.. ;~]
