I have hesitated to ask on the theory that it is better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than to open it and remove all doubt" I got one of these HSS Tenon Tools from PSI for Christmas. It doesn't seem to have any "edge" on it as received from PSI (Amazon actually). Here's my dumb questions:
1. How does one sharpen it? The only angle apparent on it is from the "bottom" (or is it the top? - that's confusing to) to the other long surface.
2. How does one use it? If you consider that the longer surface is the cutting surface (top),then you'd have to have the tool rest set back quite a bit in order to support the tool on the bottom surface behind the bevel.
Sorry to be so obtuse but I had a teacher once upon a time who said the only dumb question is the one not asked.
Any help would be appreciated
