Try this for a cut on a swept back wing. Support the bevel with the cutting edge parallel to the rotation. Pull or push don't matter.

A few shots of one of my chisels sharpened on the Tormek at our BBQ

Tsk. Get with the program Neil.

Changing the bevel geometry is shaping; refreshing the edge is sharpening. Gospel acc to St. Tormek

You should have seen it before he started. It had been sharpened by me by hand many times and lost it's shape

So what did you learn, Neil, aside from the fact that likes custard tarts and cream (Julie likes puzzles....)????
