This video has just confirmed my sanity. I tried to get the extra long grind on exactly what you used and as RS don't tell what setting on the ProSet I tried 50° wasn't comfy with that so tried the 45° and it wouldn't cut better. Believing I was at fault as it looked more like a javelin than a bowl gouge, I ground back to the regular fingernail it's ok but I like the 55° sweptback. I was convinced I was doing it wrong as a new user of the ProEdge. Thank you.
Thanks Terry. I have watched both of your videos. I have the same problem with the tool holder fouling the machine. I will grind the edges as you have done. This appears to be a design fault by Robert Sorby.
It can be.. but that's a factory set angle that (preferably) needs to stay as a constant. Chances are that by altering that, all other jigs are effectively going to not work correctly?
Thanks Dave, it’s worth mentioning that this grind is actually not a very usable shape - but this video was to illustrate how to do it. Personally, my previous video gives the grind I now use all the time.
No worries - glad it helps. I have found that I hardly use this gouge now that it’s profiled this way, I’m preferring the swept back grind I described on my other video - that has actually improved my turning no end 👍
Thank you for well done video. First demo I have seen for the sweepback grind on a Pro-edge. What is the length for the 35* step setting. I have been using 2” for 45*.
I'm about to attempt the extra long grind and am concerned by your comments about the tool holder fouling the left hand side of the grinder. Watching the RS film, he does actually grind both wings without hitting the holder. Am I missing something? It seems to work for them.
Have a go and see if you can do it.. I couldn’t, same as countless others. It may be possible if you use the longest setting on the Proset - but then the angle will be all wrong
@@Bigtel1970 You are absolutely correct. I tried it and there is no way of doing it as they show on their film. Now I am wondering how much to grind off the jig and still retain its integrity. I feel a call to Sorby coming up. Thank you for your original film and for replying.
Hello. I am trying to do the exact same grind. I've done everything you're doing. But on the 35 setting, jig in 3rd hole, my chisel misses the belt by a good 40mm. It just about hits the belt on the 45 setting. There is something fundamentally wrong with my set up. Can i ask what angle your jig arm is set at? It's the only variable left? ie the arm that holds the chisel. Thank you.
Yes, that’s exactly what that is! I think it gave me a bevel that was almost unusable! To be fair, this grind I made on this video was pretty poor to use too - a bit catchy. I much preferred the fingernail grind I worked out on my other video - that’s what I always use now

Great to hear!

Nice video. The toolholder(jig) can also be set at an angle. How about that? I dont find any explanation about that. Thanks

Thank you for this. I had this problem today on my first try at a very long grind and thought I was doing something wrong.

@@Bigtel1970 thanks and I will check the other one again.
Thank you you helped solve a problem I was having.

Gonna give this a go thank you but if not 15* we hat would you digest please? TIA
Thanks for posting this, helps me out alot

Cheers John. Admittedly it’s not the easiest tool shape to use!
The 35* is 113mm
Does a tool rest come with the machine?
👍 having recently purchased a Sorby deluxe, which diamond belt please? TIA
Hi, the diamond belt only comes in one type, I believe 👍

@@CaltheScot I first took the corner off fairly aggressively then rounded it off. I probably removed 3-5mm in total

Hi David, when you say it ‘misses’ the belt can explain how - or send a photo to email: onebigidea@hotmail.co.uk
@@Bigtel1970 that's very kind - I'll email you now...
@@Bigtel1970 Hi Terry - my mac said that's not an email address - I hit send anyway, did it come through?
I think I see a long grind jig you made laying on the bench top to the left of your machine. Was thinking of making one. Did this work for you?
Yes, that’s exactly what that is! I think it gave me a bevel that was almost unusable! To be fair, this grind I made on this video was pretty poor to use too - a bit catchy. I much preferred the fingernail grind I worked out on my other video - that’s what I always use now
Watched this again so did you jump from the rough grind straight to the diamond belt?
Yes I did.. the diamond belt is perfect for smoothing out any previous grinding
@@Bigtel1970 blimey. Will look into obtaining one then. Thank You
get your cuffs out of the way please. Youngster could watch this. Thanks Pete
