Thanked: 6Not enough pressure?
I have a torrey that I am trying to set a bevel on and I am about ready to throw the thing in the trash. I have done 5 sets of the circles and the thing is mildly sharper than a butter knife. I noticed when watching some of Lynn's videos that there seems to be a lot of metal being removed and I am not seeing this when I am doing the circles. I am getting some, but nowhere the same amount. Should I apply more pressure? I don't want to press too hard but this is getting extraordinarily frustrating. I am still very new to honing but the few others I have done didn't require more than 2 sets of circles. Also, I am using a Norton 1k to set the bevel.
