Sorby Oval Skew Sharpening Help Needed

Greetings!

I have two Sorby oval skew chisels. But, I can not figure out a "reasonable" way to sharpen them.

I have the woodcraft slow speed grinder and the wolverine grinding jigs. But, the wolverine skew jig gives a concave grind. I am looking for a flat grind.

Any suggestions for fast & consistent would be greatly appreciated.

I use mine with a concave grind, works for me. Otherwise something like a belt sander if you want the faces flat. A round stone will always leave the face concave.

Yep, skews and beading tools respond real well to it, and it's a place to use some of that paper that you take off the sander but keep, because it's still got some bite. If you use PSA papers, you can stick 'em to a melamine surface and have a "stone" to freshen edges with by stroking the tool rather than vice-versa.

Grinder's too good for 'em. Use the belt/disk sander.
