Thanks for the replies.  I do have a small square, and it is square.  After I realized the blades were out of square, I made sure to check everything is square.  I haven't tried to skew the se-77 to get things back to square.  I'll have to try that this weekend.  I'm not sure which way to skew it, but I'll review the manual and do that. 
Rolsen is right about handplane blades.  They are all out of square a small amount and I could account it for it on the plane.  Still wanted to determine what I was doing wrong. 

One other thing I read is to sharpen a chisel that is square to begin with.  Since it is much narrower sharpen it and determine if it is out of square. That could provide feedback.  I'll try that this weekend also.

Will follow up after I sharpen again.

The first few hand plane blades I sharpened were out of square. 
The same issue that many others have had.

I read many of the posts on how to get the blade square to the wheel, etc.
So I adjusted the se77 jig and checked the blades to the inside of the wheel for squareness.
I also checked the universal support for square to the wheel.
Using a T8 and DF-250 Diamond wheel.

Up to this point I think everything is square. 
However, I still can't get the blade square after grinding.
There is still a high side on the left side of blade as it is mounted on the Tormek.

What I haven't seen is how to grind the blade after the jig, support, etc are squared.
Do I focus on just grinding the side of blade that is high? 
How much of the blade width should be focused on during the grinding.  For how long?

I've tried that and after grinding for a while, there is no change to the squareness.

What is the correct approach to grinding the blade back to square?
