I purchased a straight blade and the tip is angled a few degrees right. Is this normal? I do not see any Info on any web site. Thank you

Mcnaughton coring blades

Mine look more centered than that, but I don't think it is a problem. The main reason for the diamond tip is for coring burl. The idea is to have the v groove create a more controlled break out at the end rather than tear a hole in your work.
All the tips should have that shape. Because of flex in the blade they tend to drift a little towards the outside of the bowl. The theory of grinding the tip like that is to help push the blade in the opposite direction to reduce the drift.
Thank you all. my mystery is redolved
