Thanks for showing and explaining how to sharpen your tools. I have struggled to sharpen my tools and this has helped.

One of the best short videos I’ve seen.

Parting is such sweet sorrow 🎉

Thanks!

What kind of grinding wheel is that?

[@kib2675]

Your wheel is spinning the wrong way. If you look at an edge in a microsope, you will see that the tip of the edge is burr. So you have to stretch the burr the right way, otherwise you are wrapping the edge around itself.

Lahey??

Wow❤😮🎉

[@ronh9384]

Good information as always Tim. I know the method you showed is a hollow grind. Do you have any opinion if a hollow grind vs flat grind makes a difference as far as turning or edge retention?
Thanks for your time.

I'm not a particularly good wood turner, but I am a knife maker and sharpener, so it should carry over pretty well.
Hollow grinds allow the tool to be 'sharper' (more accurately, thinner, which is part of sharpness, but not the whole story), it should allow you to get a better angle on the workpiece for thinner stock (because you have clearane), the only problem you have to watch out for is toughness, if the edge is too thin out there it will dull quickly because it doesn't have enough supporting material, but HSS should do alright in that regard.
In terms of edge retention, it should hold an edge better, but it's not so cut and dry.
The hollow grind makes the edge thinner, and because it's a zero grind (no microbevels) it will act like a more acute angle, meaning it will retain an edge longer.
However, like I said earlier about supporting material, if there isn't enough, the edge will just roll or chip.
The flatter grind is more obtuse, more supporting material, tougher, stronger, but won't retain an edge quite as well.
Honestly, the only way you'll know what's best for your tool is if you try it.
It's not hard to change back and forth between grinds, and unless you do A LOT of wood turning, you are likely going to have the chisels last a long time, so a quick modification back and forth is not going to significantly alter their tool life.
Stay safe, happy turning.

How many RPMes is your wheel turning and how did you get it to turn so slow ??

[@mattradtke2190]

This is all wrong but I guess if you don't have a table that would work

[@andrewdurfee2891]

What type of wheel are you using

[@woodturningwithtimyoder]

Good question. We shot that video 9 years ago 🙂. I now use CBN wheels that I buy from Woodturning Wonders.
