Hollow grind with cbn wheel on low speed grinder- how far do you go?
Thread Starter: Assaf Oppenheimer
Hi all, I'm getting a slow speed grinder with a cbn wheel. I've never done hollow grinds myself. Would appreciate it if any experienced woodworker could advise how much to grind on the blade before you risk edge temper. Pics would be welcome. Thanks!
