Hey guys

I just got a 10" wheel for my grinder

now

errr can I get a pic or 2 of what the blade is supposed to loook like after its ground?? I ground my first one with a 4" wheel and I am pretty sure the edge is to thick

SOOO

Can I get a little visual help here?
D
 
I dont have a pic, but you will notice a big difference between the 4 and 10" wheels.
Either way whether Im flat grinding or hollow I work it the same way.
Scribe my center line, then with an old belt I grind in to just shy of the center line at about a 45 degree angle. From there I just work the bevel up the blade.

I usually take the edge to about .020 depending on the size of the blade, on folders I go down to about .010.
 
Here is one that is rough ground on 8" wheel.

Sorry for bad photos hard to do with a phone.
 
Thanks guys

I think i was overthinking the edge thingy

I figure if I scribe 2 lines and grind till the edges meet I should be good to go with the 1 1/2" 1084 I am playing with
