Thank you for your reply Ken!
I realize and have already experienced the next sharpening and was as you say much faster and much easier.
After the regrinding of my old gouges the uneven wear was really obvious, I got a cheap diamond wheel dresser (t-bar style) and to be honest it did a good job (I realize not as perfect and controllable as the TT-50 would do, some day hopefully I get my hands on one).
I do feel like that will be the case, just after the measuring of my wheel I got a bit anxious maybe something was going more wrong than I thought.
Hopefully you are right and I get a smooth sailing!

Not only are the tools generally sharper to begin with, the skills of the person doing the sharpening are more refined. Congratulations, you have put in the hard work. Youshould have smooth sailing ahead.
