Found a Quick way to set a bevel......
I put this in the Advanced Honing for a reason..... Newbies don't try this!!!!
So I finished up a polish and blade re-shape the other day and was dreading setting the bevel by hand. I thought..... this blade is not that great..... I should try something different.
I have a Tormek T-7 and thought I would give it a go. I put electrical tape on the spine and lightly laid the blade on the turning stone and went to town.....
Flipped it back and forth from side to side and slowly set the bevel. With a little common sense and visual confirmation, I was able to get a good bevel set in a matter of minutes..... Then off to the 1k to tune it up.
Saved a bunch of time!

Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

But if it only takes a few minutes to do it by hand, what are you saving? Although it would be fun to give it a try on the Tormek!

I'm working on a new technique myself. Staring with great focus at the razor until the bevel is formed. Seems to be working, provided I rub it against my king 1k while doing so.
Sorry. Just being funny. Don't mind me.
