Subject:
I just round the corners
Response To:
Question re Chipbreaker Discussion ()

James Watriss
On my smoothers I don't camber the whole thing, just the corners. It's easier to do, and it keeps the shaving flat, with tapering edges.

I keep the cambering for rougher work, where the chip breaker thing isn't such an issue.
