Now you have a line of light,
which is your guide as to where
to grind.
When cutting steep bowls using
a curved or a down bent gouge,
the edge plane angle can be
decreased. Here it is 0°.
Line of light
Mount the gouge in the jig
protruding approx. 100 mm (4").
The stop ring (4) must be locked
close to the sleeve (2).
Put the jig on the Universal
Support and swing it to one
side. Set the jig so that the
plane of the edge is approx.
parallel to the axis of the stone.
The edge angle will now be
equal across the edge. If the
thickness of the steel is even,
the bevel length will also be
equal along the edge.
Setting the jig
If the shank has a convex upper
side, you should grind it flat to
make sure that the tool does
not turn in the jig.
Set the edge angle by adjust-
ing the Universal Support. When
replicating an existing angle, use
the Marker Method. When setting
a new angle you can use the
AngleMaster.
