Sal explains it all in the video that the Sharpmaker comes with. In this clip, he starts covering it at about 9:00 minutes. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVvZPQ_c ... e=youtu.beSharpmaker Mike wrote:Wow, it looks like Tuesday is just as rough for me as Monday was LOL!
For some reason I always thought the steeper of the two settings was 40 degree, like it was measured off the side. I also got my terminology mixed up thinking the back bevel was the term for the last bevel (micro/edge) bevel you made, almost like you did one bevel and then went "Back" over it or something.
Now that I have my head out of a very dark place, the posts now make a lot more sense.
Another thing I discovered is that the 40 degrees is really 20 on each side, so there would only be a 5 degree difference (per side) from the primary to the micro/edge bevel.
With that said, it looks like the 2 settings of the Sharpmaker might be perfect for doing a micro/edge bevel, so I will just need to give it a try.
I did find a tip online that said to make sure you use the different grits to do the micro bevel as if you just skip straight to the the UF stones, you'll just be flipping the bur back and forth.
To Microbevel, or NOT to Microbevel... That is the question!
