Thread: Rolling X - I think I figured something out

Hi Guys,
I dont use pressure.
Some people use torque , twisting the edge towards the stone. I never do this either.
The way i see it is that the less pressure used the less chance of any chips. Or a less jagged edge might be a better way of putting it.
One thing to look out for with the rolling X is applying a bit of extra pressure near the toe coming down off the roll , this can lead to chips at the toe.
I try to not raise the blade during the rolling x but instead just go for a gentle rocking motion.
