Possibly the only way to achieve this long grind! Use the table to produce a 15 degree ‘horseshoe’ then use the 35 degree measure on the Proset (this will equate to a 45 degree bevel once completed)
This video has just confirmed my sanity. I tried to get the extra long grind on exactly what you used and as RS don't tell what setting on the ProSet I tried 50° wasn't comfy with that so tried the 45° and it wouldn't cut better. Believing I was at fault as it looked more like a javelin than a bowl gouge, I ground back to the regular fingernail it's ok but I like the 55° sweptback. I was convinced I was doing it wrong as a new user of the ProEdge. Thank you.
It can be.. but that's a factory set angle that (preferably) needs to stay as a constant. Chances are that by altering that, all other jigs are effectively going to not work correctly?
Yes, that’s exactly what that is! I think it gave me a bevel that was almost unusable! To be fair, this grind I made on this video was pretty poor to use too - a bit catchy. I much preferred the fingernail grind I worked out on my other video - that’s what I always use now
Thanks Terry. I have watched both of your videos. I have the same problem with the tool holder fouling the machine. I will grind the edges as you have done. This appears to be a design fault by Robert Sorby.
No worries - glad it helps. I have found that I hardly use this gouge now that it’s profiled this way, I’m preferring the swept back grind I described on my other video - that has actually improved my turning no end 👍
Thank you for well done video. First demo I have seen for the sweepback grind on a Pro-edge. What is the length for the 35* step setting. I have been using 2” for 45*.
I'm about to attempt the extra long grind and am concerned by your comments about the tool holder fouling the left hand side of the grinder. Watching the RS film, he does actually grind both wings without hitting the holder. Am I missing something? It seems to work for them.
Have a go and see if you can do it.. I couldn’t, same as countless others. It may be possible if you use the longest setting on the Proset - but then the angle will be all wrong
@@Bigtel1970 You are absolutely correct. I tried it and there is no way of doing it as they show on their film. Now I am wondering how much to grind off the jig and still retain its integrity. I feel a call to Sorby coming up. Thank you for your original film and for replying.
Hello. I am trying to do the exact same grind. I've done everything you're doing. But on the 35 setting, jig in 3rd hole, my chisel misses the belt by a good 40mm. It just about hits the belt on the 45 setting. There is something fundamentally wrong with my set up. Can i ask what angle your jig arm is set at? It's the only variable left? ie the arm that holds the chisel. Thank you.
Thanks Dave, it’s worth mentioning that this grind is actually not a very usable shape - but this video was to illustrate how to do it. Personally, my previous video gives the grind I now use all the time.
