Chisel Bevel

 04/26/2008 12:50 PM dshively

Hey Guys I have some Robert Sorby chisels and I am wondering what is the ideal bevel angle or what everyone else uses. I am currently at 25 degrees with a 2 degree micro bevel. I know the Lie-Nielsen are 30 degree primary with a recommended 5 degree micro-will that work on the sorbys? Any suggestions would be great. Oh the reason I want to change is my edge retention is poo-and it folds in hard woods.
