Roughing gouge angle setting

Is it possible to use the AngleMaster Wm-200 to set the angle when sharping/shaping a roughing gouge?

Jeff Farris

Possible?  Yes.  Handy?  No. 

But, the exact angle on a roughing gouge isn't critical.  Use the check angles (the cuts around the outside of the WM-200) to determine the current angle.  You want it around 50 degrees.  If the bevel is too long (most common), shorten it up a little bit from the current, then gain a little bit on it each time until you get it to 50 or find your own personal happy angle.
