I reshaped a Robert Sorby 3/8" fingernail gouge and I seem to have developed concave wings. I have a Tormek 2000 with the SVD-185 and the TTS-100. The JS is set to #2, protrusion to 65 and using hole "A" to achieve the 45 degree angle. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

Thanks for all the feedback.  I tried moving the chisel forward and using a square as noted in a previous post.  It worked ok, but not did not come out completely square.  Ken, you mentioned using the universal support. Do you use it with wheel rotating towards you? and how do you keep it at the same angle? because the chisel can slip forward or backward. I guess using the tool rest would be very similiar to the universal support.

Thanks Ken,

I look forward to what you find out.

I'am trying to sharpen some Stanley 2 3/4" long chisels using the svh-60 jig. Am I missing something, because to get a 25 degree angle the jig will be hitting the grinding wheel. Can anyone shed some light on what i'm doing wrong.
