Bevel angles for sharpening

[Alan McClure]

Does anyone know where I can get a visual chart of various tools (e.g., bowl, spindle gouges, etc) that shows suggested bevel angles and other “shaping” tips?

This was from a quick google search, then clicked on images.... Is this the kind of thing you are asking about?
bowl, spindle gouges and skew angles

Yeah, I did the same google search and found those images. Seems to be a lot of bits and pieces, but I couldn’t find a single illustrated chart that has everything. You’d think someone has already done that but I can’t find it. Even looked on Sorby’s website, and didn’t see a whole picture kind of thing there.

Here's some instructions from Thompson tools. It's not all inclusive but it's a start.

Thanks for the info. Was helpful. OneWay has some good info also.

Alan,

I catalogued all that I found and use at https://sharpeninghandbook.info/. Not one page though.

Kind regards,
Rich
