Ok so i done some listening and searching and i am back to relying on the people here.
So i am now certain my skews need fixing (no dont laugh they aint bulls getting turned into steers) They have the angles set alla tai chi whatever suited the day.
Now i been reading but want to make certain i got it correct and in one case i cannot find the answer.
So in the image above we have a flat bar skew or thats what its supposed to represent.
Side view is the pointy angle and i see Dough Thompson say 40 degrees between the points. So to this idiot in detail terms it means i grind one side to 70 degrees from the center line.
and the other the same
Right or wrong?
And then how wide the bevel ends up being is a function of the thickness of the bar.
Now how far back is the angle from an assumed flat face off the edge.
I seen all sorts here but even for the angle of the skew so i am totally confussed .
Thanks for any sanity.
I cannot wait to get it right then have another go. Can you believe if i got it going after tai chi angles just what will happen with the correct ones.
Thanks in advance.
