After reading posts from about 600 of the previous Neader pages (skimmed them over several months) I’m still confused about what happens when honing a chisel or plane blade after hollow grinding, be it free hand or with a jig.
Does one just hold the hollowed metal flush to the honing stone and create a “microbevel”, albeit one exactly parallel to the original two edges of the metal as it came off the grinder, say at 25 or 30 degrees? Or do you change the angle and form a secondary angle on the already fairly small metal cutting edge?
It seems sort of intuitive to me that if one of the reasons for using microbevels is to decrease the amount of metal being sharpened, and speeding up and easing the amount of work, this has already pretty much occurred after the hollow grinding.
For purposes of discussion I’m using an 8” CBN wheel.
Thanks, Jon
