Wood Carving / Re: Reluctant burr

Thank you Rich! Now I know I wasn't imagining things. I seem to get different burrs depending on the grind. Now to produce that elusive wire edge...

In simpler terms, are the burrs different when the wheel is running towards you, as opposed to running away from you?

Wood Carving / Reluctant burr
May 23, 2025, 06:54:35 PM
I'm new here. Been experimenting with a CBN wheel for carving tools. The wheel is turning away from me as I sharpen but I seem to get burrs that are long and won't break off. Could this have something to do with the direction of the grind? This does not happen when the wheel is turning towards me. When the wheel is turning away from me, the burr just seem to hang on and drag out even when I go to finer grit wheels. Could be the blade is soft steel? Or the wheel is just pulling the burr outwards and not breaking it. The burrs can get thick and heavy and difficult to remove. Thanks!
