    Worksharp question: Avoiding back bevels on chisels?

    Evenin folks.
    Bought a worksharp to supplement my stones. Plan to use it for mostly the early/heavy work when flattening a plane iron or chisel. (Clarification: using the top of the disk.) Saw an old post warning that its easy to accidentally grind a back bevel on your chisels (bad for precision work) on a worksharp. But it didnt say how to protect against causing one.

    According to the archives, a lot of Creekers use worksharps. Can any of you tell me how to avoid creating an unintended back bevel?

    Thanks very much.
