Finally, received my Henry Taylor 1/2 inch 'Superflute' after it was held captive by customs..... what a beauty !!

Nice. What was the reason it was held up ?

What’s its sharpening angle, Adam?
Looks good. Let us know how you get on with it.

I'm on mainland Europe, things are very different now after brexit, mailing to and from the UK/Europe is a bit of a nightmare.

Nice, i still have a tiny bit left of one of these older tools, i like the rubber stopper on the end, like a pool cue, shame they don't do that any more......

The top pick is how it arrives, the bottom pick is how I'll be grinding it, not sure of the angles

Cheers, Adam. Might take some time to grind to the long swept back wings you intend. Good luck with it.

My cr@ppy old 6" grinder won't take too long to chew through it, my next workshop upgrade has to be my sharpening setup though, i'd love a CBN wheel....
