Thanks for the input folks.

To respond to a couple of questions:




• Yes, happy I've got 40 deg nose angle
  
  
• Pretty sure I've set jig right to #5 (btw - do folks use the dips or peaks when setting the jig, provided same each time prob doesn't matter but just minor niggle I have) 
  
  
• I know the wings are far from finished!  I thought I'd stop and ask for help rather than grind all the metal away when I sense it will not be right.

Still trying to get my head round it, experienced turners have told me they've yet to find a grind that can't be done on the tormek so I refuse to be defeated - (but coming close at the moment!)

Struggling with this.  Trying JS5 / B / 55mm.  Got tip shape / angle etc but wings seem to be coming very steep and if I finish grinding to cutting edge will be very thin / weak. 

I'm not doing something right - any one offer any help / suggestions please?

Thanks

Simon

Hi folks - did this ever land as a 'recipe'?

Thanks
