Flat grind from a vertical round wheel?

[Ken S]

Elden,

Back to the ninety degree USB:

If two BGM-100s were used, parallel with each other and also parallel with the grinding wheel, the USB further from the grinding wheel would hold the SE-76. The USB closer to the grinding wheel would be positioned so that the blade of the chisel rested on it, thus limiting downward rotation of the chisel. The chisel would be flat ground by sliding back and forth parallel with the wheel (as opposed to the usual side to side hollow grinding). The micro adjusting wheels would be advanced matched small increments, thus preserving the bevel angle while providing flat grinding.

This set up would require making a flat wooden base for the Tormek large enough to allow blocks to hold the two BGM-100 units and small strips of wood to prevent the Tormek from moving out of position. A water resistant finish would seem prudent.
