Forming 1/16th camber for jack plane

[Mark H.]

Jeff, I've managed to do a pretty good job forming a radical camber for my scrub plane blade using the tool rest, SVD-110 and can get a 1/64th inch camber on a smoother blade using your technique of grinding longer at the edges.  What do you recommend for getting a 1/16th inch camber on a blade for a jack plane?  My particular jack is a bevel-up L-N place if that makes any difference.  Thanks.

Mark,

Use the same technique as for your smoothing plane, but a bit more exaggerated.
