I just got my Vari-Grind jig from Oneway this morning and am very pleased with it.
I've used it on my 3/8" Spindle Gouge and sharpened it at about 30 degrees. Now I'd like to sharpen my 3/8" Bowl Gouge. I have yet to do any serious bowl turning but would like to get it ready. What degree of grind do you bowl turners suggest I sharpen it at? I'm sure it shouldn't be the same as the Spindle Gouge but have no idea what the proper angle should be.
Is there a consensus as to the proper angle or does each turner just do what he feels is the right thing for him/her?
Thanks!!
