Title: Wicked edge for bevels?
Post by: bgtklbx on June 11, 2020, 02:21:45 AM
Has anyone else used their Wicked Edge for finding edge angles?  I started out with a WE, and still use it occasionally. Its great for determining the angles using a marker and fine stone. Its easy to dial in the angle and fine tune with the sharpie marker. I use a 1200 stone with light psi so i don't remove excess metal.

I've used one to check the angles set with the calculator(s) when I was learning to use them, using a digital angle cube to check the angle on the WE. 

Good idea IMO.

I use a wicked edge more in reverse of what your saying but I really like your idea.
If I have a knife i want a very clean mirror bevel that needs a fair amount of grinding I start on the Tormek and finish on the wicked edge.
