My New Paring Chisels

[Glenn Samuels]

I just started using my 8" slow speed grinder which has the white wheels. I also have the diamond bar wheel dresser from LV. I'm using Veritas Basic Grinding Set which is basically a flat plate that is adjustable to the wheel. My question is how do I know that I am 100% square when truing the wheel. It's not difficult to be off 1-2 degrees.

It'll never make a difference if you're off a little. You want a little bit of a crown on the wheel anyway, work the outside edges off a fraction of a mm or so to start with your dressing tool so that the iron only contacts the middle of the wheel when you have it straight on.
