What is the best chisel angle?
Sharpen bench chisels with a 25° bevel angle for best results. If you want to add a microbevel (a thin, secondary edge right at the tip that makes touch-up honing easier), then go with 30° for O1 and 35° for A2. Paring chisels should be used only for hand-guided work, never struck with a mallet.
Do chisels need a micro bevel?
The short answer is, No, micro bevels are not necessary with a Tormek. Microbevels are useful expedients for bench stone sharpeners. The idea is that you grind the entire bevel once and do touch up sharpenings with only a small fraction of the bevel.
What is a gouge used for?
