I am in need of some advice for sharpening skews. My goal is to get to the "scary sharp" range. I have a Rikon slow speed grinder, a 350 grit CBN wheel, a Wolverine jig with skew attachment, and I work with a set of Benjamin Best tools, and a Doug Thompson skew. For the sake of this thread I'm only taking about sharpening the skews.
I color the bevel of the tool with a sharpie, then set the jig so the wheel is making contact with the whole bevel. I lightly touch the tool to the wheel for a few seconds then turn and repeat. This IS sharpening them but not getting them as sharp as I want.
What more should I be doing? Or what an I doing wrong?
