Sharpening an "Alan Lacer" skew

[terrylund]

I'm a brand new member to the forums but tried to read over the relevant articles regarding skews.  What is the best way to sharpen a large skew with the "Lacer profile" which is straight for ~1/3 of the width and curved for the remainder, and the overall angle on the end is ~70 degrees.  The skew is 3/8" thick and 1-3/8" wide so it doesn't fit into the regular skew jig at all, and that would only work (as I understand it) for a straight edge.

The SVS-50 will create the profile, but as you mentioned, the largest Lacer skew won't fit in the jig. That tool should be ground using the SVD-110 Tool Rest to establish the angle.
