I think the problem was with the pressure. Today really no issues, again I to made sure I was light handed with the blade. I consider myself still a newbie as such have been using 5/8 hollow grounds. Going to this much larger wedge was a dramatic change. With that said you can only get better when you learn from your mistakes, know how to adjust angle and pressure. I am a work in progress
(in many ways). Thanks for all the help
