So far, I've been keeping the supplied 25 deg bevel angle on the
chisels with no micro-bevel. *I'm considering using a micro-bevel. *

I've built a jig to set micro-bevels at 26.5, 27.5, and 30 deg.

What di you guys/gals do on your bench chisels?

Thanks a heap,

Hi, I am an old cabinetmaker living in Sweden.
Being an apprentice long time back, the old man taught me how to grind
a chisel.
I stuck to what I learned from the the old man during all my life but
never met
other colleges grinding in the same way.
Only today I heard of micro-bevel. Now I can speak of my way to grind
a chisel as
micro-bevel as "mikro.egg" in my language.
Written on a sunny autumn day,
Thanks and have a nice day, Klas
