Hello,

I just noticed that when grinding plane irons, the bevel ends up being uneven & the end of the iron ends up being out of square. Apart from the following that i have already checked on, can suggest anything else?
The only way i have been able to get over the problem so far is by spending longer on the longest part of the unevenness of the iron to compensate

• Checked knobs  on the Square Edge Jig are screwed evenly
• Made sure the iron butts up to the edge of the jig
• Exerted even pressure with fingers on the plane iron during grinding
• Trued the stone
• Checked the iron itself for any twists
• Used a spare square Edge Jig
• Used a marker to high light the grind

Thanks In Advance

Hello,

Could you please tell me, at what point after sharpening my plane iron do i go back to the grindstone? excluding  chips or dinks in the blade

Do i hone on the leather wheel everytime my iron feels dull? or is there a point where i go to the grindstone first then hone,

Thanks
