Just throwing this out there. Are your stones flat?
Being a wedge, I find that warping to be highly unlikely, not impossible just unlikely. Lay it on a known flat surface and check to see if light appears between the spine and surface. Do this for both sides and if it is bent the light will pass under at different points side to side.
I would stop honing that way. This is what can happen with too much time or too much pressure.
On the plus side it looks like you may have the bevel set ?
If so add one extra layer of tape to what you had & go lightly with one hand.
I think the spine may have excess wear, is warped & has been polished to hide it ?
Wedges are notorious for warps & bad wear patterns.
Feel bad for you jemmo:( sorry man,I think all you have now is a box cutter,JMO
I had thought of that but the wear marks would be somewhat symmetrical side to side not asymmetrical as they are.
i think i understand u , ok first start to hone with my DMT 320 without any tape and go upp with the ston until my natural stone , still without tape and i will not care about spine, because spine gonna hones too, and after all that begin with DMT 320 upp to natural stone with 4 layer tape, do i understand u, am i right?
I'll make it as easy as I can for you.Quote:
it is lite bit over course for me but i trying to understand,
this is a RAT (right angled triangle) calculator.
Right-Angled Triangle Calculator
we use: red edge a (spine) and red edge c (hypotenuse).
to give use: Black angle A.
Because a razor isn't a right angled triangle we split the razor in half.
so you use half of your spine width, and the resultant angle will be half of the total angle.
So.
Spine = 8mm
Hypotenuse = 25mm
therefore
8/2 = 4 units for red edge a
red edge c = 25 units
hit calculate.
resultant angle A = 9.21 degrees.
remember this is only half of the razor. So you multiply the final angle by 2.
so 9.21 x 2 = 18.42 degrees.
Provided you know your hypotenuse, you can measure your spine with tape and use the calculator to make sure the final angle is between 17 and 21 degrees. If it is more than 21, then you need to remove tape. If it is less than 17 then you need to add tape. And anything in the middle should be fine to shave with.
Yeah the hone progression is to remove that huge bevel.
Use your stones to polish the big bevel out, Once you have done your progression the finish should be good enough to polish the rest out by hand.
Then do a full new bevel using tape.
