Hehe, I was kidding about using it for actual electrical work. I like the crimps that have built in heat shrink tubing. Cleaner, neater, more permanent everything proof seal. I only use tape in a...

Good point. The only time I've really used tape I was also testing out a Naniwa 800 grit for bevel setting. So of course it ate through with a quickness and by the time I started to feel the tape...

If using tape, I like 2 layers. When I see the top layer broken through, it's time to change tape. Usually I can peel off the top layer without disturbing the bottom, but if I have to change both...

Like Cuda said, off topic and not a helpful tangent.

Height of the bevel is determined by blade geometry - set at the factory, and generally not something you'll change. As long as you aren't...

I stand corrected. The grind in terms of half/quarter/full hollow is less important because they all get fairly thin toward cutting edge. :bow

At least not until they're worn down to the spot the...

When referencing thickness, I don't mean spine to edge, I mean from one side of the blade to the other. Or the grind, as you put it Cuda. A wedge for example, will have a taller bevel than a quarter...

1 - Pressure is OK at bevel set. You kind of need it to abrade more steel early on anyway. Make sure you slowly ease up on pressure, so that your final strokes are like finishing strokes. This will...
