>It works very well for chisels with either rounded or other non-flat faces.I use it for all my large framing chisels by Merrill or Underhill(which are rounded)and Douglas(which are beveled to a central ridge.

Just match the bevel angle to the face of the wheel by moving the arm in or out.Be sure to scribe a line on the back for reference.

>Yep,it is.But we WWers have a reputation for inventiveness that we have to uphold.Besides,it comes with a regular flat rest for grinding the run of the mill stuff.

The Vari-grind is the whiz-bang tool that puts the fancy grinds on things like bowl gouges.I`ve used it to put a fingernail grind on one carving chisel so far.
