Hi
Just taken delivery of my T8 and attempted my first chisel, started at coarse and the first thing that happened was the two outer edges started to cut away at approx 15 degrees. Took it to my grinder and brought the blade back to a straight 90 degrees and started second attempt. The stone had no effect. All it did was grind off more and more metal but never getting to a point, eventually two corners wore away and gave up after about an hour and a much shorter chisel. Checked the machine and all surfaces for square and they are perfect. Any ideas as to what I am doing wrong would be appreciated
