As a newbie, hobbiest I am still getting the hang of this, but I noticed that when sharpening from top (the wheel coming towards you) there is a chance of gouging the jpn stone (it's soft) so I sharpen from below (wheel running away from you) - results are good, no complaints.
Had a bad chip, trued it, running from below and everything going great!
Just curious question:
Any downsides to sharpening from below instead of above?
Thanks!
