Hi Bruno, very glad to be here & thank you for all the help in the past!!!

From the pictures can you tell about how the bevels are so far? How can you measure the angle?

I know what you say is correct, as from the small paring knives the thinner the bevels the sharper the knife. I've been debating this, but your response confirms holding off on a final grind until I can build a 2x72. The 1x30 belt grinder I have doesn't have a speed option. I also think the results would be more consistent, not to mention probably more efficient. I guess another question would be holding off on HT and maybe doing a hollow grind when the 2x72 is finished. Was thinking an 8" contact wheel?
