My problem with your amount of steps is that you want this whole procedure to be really fast - think if I have to sharpen blade again and again or different ones. No wonder many of woodworkers go with hand sharpening with a simple honing guide & a simple angle jig and diamond plates. (using finger pressing on alternate sides for camber). It goes much faster. I have a Tormek myself. But sometimes I find it cumbersome, fill the water, grind the wheel - rough vs smooth, and then use the jigs in a very particular way.
I didn't watch this all the way through. So this info might be included or common sense I don't know. The angle of the blade in the plane enhances the camber quite a bit. I turned my oil knobs almost a whole turn which turned out to be waaay to much. :(
Seems overly complicated to me. It's easier to put a camber on with a bench stone. It only takes 5 or 10 strokes with pressure to each corner. Thanks for sharing though
With all due respect, this video is a good lesson on using the jig, but not the plane. By grinding a camber, you are producing a “scrub” plane blade. It is not designed for light cuts, but for quick removal of high spots, usually at 45 degrees to the grain. Its use is then followed by a straight grind for smoothing along the grain. The ridges produced by the straight blade were due to taking too heavy cuts. When smoothing, the finer the shavings, the better = no ridges.
Very helpful thanks.
why don't you check for the squareness of the blade while in the SES-77 jig using the inside of the stone ?
Fine demonstration. I liked how you used a hardwood instead of pine. Cherry?
Pura vida mi amigo and guys I have a question Does tormek jig fix on Wen sharpening sugtem? I have a cheap one 😅my budget is limited.pura vida

Why do people "go ahead" and do things so often?

Not true, a scrub plane has a huge radius, the camber on a smoothing plane is in the thousandths
@@billlittleton7894 okay. But if the lady takes money for sex, does it really matter how much she asks? 😄
