same here, I get a hollow on the skew at the grinder, hone it on a diamond plate about that many times as well before I go back to the grinder for a touch up...some honings last longer than others...[8D]Originally posted by Rojo22
<br />A grinding wheel is bad? I am not sure I understand that. I use a grinding wheel, and a diamond stone. I regularly hone with the diamond stone, but after 50 or so hone cycles, new steel is needed to get the blade back into the sharpest form......

I dunno, the OP made the discovery that sharp tools cut well and posted that observation.There was no information as to what he did to facilitate that discovery.Originally posted by DCBluesman
<br />Why is it that we have to argue the "grind vs hone" stuff every single month? It's simple. Make sure your tools are sharp and your turning will be easier. Make them sharp in whatever fashion works for you. Sheesh![!]

<br />My gouge was cutting very nicely last night and I thought it would neat to get a picture of it in action. I did not say I discovered something new. It is a cool picture of me turning a pen. I didn't post this thread so we could pull each other down. Eagle, please lighten up.
I was on lunch break when I posted the thread.[8D]
