A tool grind question

Doug

>I grind my favorite gouge with a swept back grind on the sides.

I never seem to get the top edge of the sides convex. At best they appear level - at least not concave.

Am I grinding the wings too far back - or what?

>Hi Doug, this one may require that you post a photo of your grind. I suspect that you are using the wolvering jig, with the adjustment way up toward the front. If so, bring the adjustment back, it will affect the side grind.

>I will also try adjusting the jig. That is when I can get back in the shop. The flu bug decided to pay me a visit.
