>I'm trying to get a swept-back fingernail grind on my 1/4" Henry Taylor micro turning tool. Can anyone give me the angles to create this.

I have a Wolverine grinding and sharpening jig, with the fingernail/side grindig jig attachments.

>If you have it set up for other size gouges, then you simply insert the 1/4" in the same distance and grind as you would any other tool.
