40 / 40 /40 - Dusty Workshop - 08-16-2018
Went to a great demo by Stuart Batty last night where he demonstrated his 40/40/40 grind.
Anybody here using it?

Yes and I do it by hand. It’s probably not as nice as he does but it gets the job done. I have the Wolverine setup but do find it’s quicker by hand.

I seen it awhile ago but do not use it either. I just do the basic Wolverine grind of 60*. I am in the camp of how Jimmy Clewes says.
If a grind is 59* or 61* it will still work the same just change how the tool is presented..
Since I do a lot of shear scrapping after I turn with the bowl gouge and turn at all different angles when I use both hands but mostly do the 45/45 but not all the time.
I think that also Tobias Kayes has the very best advise. Try using the tool at many angles and while turning it and well finding everything about the tool. I seen him do some amazing things with his tools. One of the things he said and I do not remember what tool but he said The position may not be the easiest but it is the best way to cut the wood.
I bought 3 of his CDs 5 years ago and downloaded them onto my computer and watch a lot of his different ones.
If someone wishes and sends me their email address I will see if I can add it as an attachment.

Dale of ask Dale in Woodturning Design had an excellent article on bevel angles based upon bowl design. Dale got lot of info from this little book if scroll down to page 13 and look at bowl shapes & bevel angles bowl gouge angles all about compromises.

While 40 40 nice for some bowl designs maybe not all.
