What am I missing or doing wrong????????????

Well, that's another reason to get the 45 that the 50 jig is suppose to produce with these settings. So again why is the bevel angle turning out at 30. I am following the recipe prescribed for a 45 bevel with a 20 skew??? Maybe the book is printed wrong. Great video BTW

Thanks for your input everyone. I am a beginning turner also. The reason that I wanted a 45 was that the sharpening manual says that 45 is easier to control. I thought I would give it a try first and then move on. I am finding the skew to be a challenge anyway. The 30 that I have does not hold an edge very long either. Let me know what you think, maybe I'm totally wrong in my thinking. I have read other posts about sharpening the skew, a Robert Sorby to be exact, and it was found that it was so hard to shape because of the HSS. That proved to be the case with me also. I ended up using a slow speed grinder and then perfecting with the Tormek and the 50 jig.

Yep, that's it, except 55 instead of 65??? I am not getting it!!!

Wow....I must have found something that has never happened before . Any one from Tormek know??

I am trying to sharpen an oval skew with the SVS 50. Using the settings JS 20-P 55- and Hole B I do not get the 45 degree edge angle. It is 30 degrees. I am following the directions in the shaping and sharpening woodturning tools manual. What am I doing wrong?
