Hi everyone. My go to square graver is a 120 carbide, c-max or carbalt. A long time between sharpening or making a new oneI( I engrave soft precious metals) every time I need to make a new one I have to revisit my tech notes.. and rethink the angles. My Lindsay notes specify main shaping grind of 25.2, 25.2 at 2 degrees loft,, parellel heel angle of 30,30 at 15 degees loft. My grs table shows main shaping grind at 30,30 degrees w/ 2.5 lift,. parellel heel 35 degree at 15 degree lift. The last "120 I made a couple of weeks ago I used 30,30, at 2.5 lift for main, 25.2 at 15 for heel and it seemed good. Would appreciate hearing the angles other engravers use on the powerhone for their 120's. Thanks, James
