    I just checked, my miniture skews are 30°, my bedans are 35° & my medium skews are 40°. I can't find my big skew but I think it will also be about 40°. (it might be stuck under a door somewhere. )

    Thanks for that Cliff, your advice is very timely and greatly appreciated, I'll do the grinding as follows...

    6mm +-15 == 30
    12mm +-17.5 == 35
    20mm +-20 == 40
    30mm +-20 == 40

    Regards
    Ray

    No need to 'phew' Ray. This is top gear. Thanks again.

    ...

    Can I suggest that you wait for more feedback from others who've ordered the skews?

    (IMO a 40-45º included angle is a good starting point. In any case folk will be able to roll their own as we turners are used to grinding metal so don't sweat on this one).
    Cheers, Ern

    That should be fine Ray, the little ones need the shallow angle to get into the details.
    It the angle is too steep, there is bugger all bevel to rub & the shoulders get in the way.

    Here is an updated list of what has been picked up and what is left over. At this point we have THREE 4.5 mm thick Munro Scraper and FOUR 6 wide x 4.5 mm thick Skews.

    Hi Geoff, Bruce,

    Apologies for the delay, I've just been swamped with work in the last couple of weeks...

    I hope I can get back to finishing the skews soon...

    Regards
    Ray

    This really has become quite laughable. I do hope the errant skew beats the grim reaper.

    I can grind my own if it helps, I'd just like to see them before I go. Phil
