Hi,
I need to do the handwork on a couple of "tombstone" panels. I looked in the major tool catalogs for skew chisels and Lee Valley for one carries chisels that appear to be greater than 45 degree angles. I don't think that any greater angle will cut these effectively. I have a set of Marples Blue Label chisels which hold an edge about like most folks report. Since I've been wanting to replace them for sometime, I thought about regrinding a couple of those. Of course I don't have two of the same width. Besides that I don't have a grinder with jigs to hold the angle true. I could hand true them on a bench grinder then "scarey sharpen" them, but it seems like a bit of work. I don't know how many times I will need skews anyway. Any suggestions?
