Members NewbieJason Posted Thursday at 02:53 AM Members Report Posted Thursday at 02:53 AM I just got some new Palo Santo bevelers as a gift, a set of #0, 1, 1+, and 2. Brand new out of the cork, I tried them out on some scrap 6oz veg tan I have and with all four I get this super weird concave bevel. I’ve tried all manner of pressure and angle, and the only thing that even comes close to a rounded profile is if I hold the tool super steep, like almost gouging steep. I can’t for the life of me figure out what’s wrong here. Another user showed the profile I’m getting but that thread didn’t really give me any answers. Here’s the profile sketch, the bottom of the tool, and the edge that it gives. What’s going on here? Gallery of edges Quote
Moderator bruce johnson Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM Moderator Report Posted yesterday at 01:02 AM Jason, First off, just a tip. linking your pictures to outside sources like Imgur is a bit sketchy for some people to click on. Attaching them here on this site where they show up in the post will get more interest. I have had enough Palosanto edgers through here to say those are really suspect. I don't recall any being that rough on the bottom side. that looks unfinished, really unfinished. It looks like they did the first step, they stuck a handle on, and sent it on. Does the groove actually stop before the end of the edger? if so, it's like a flat chisel. Depending on what the top profile is, it could sure be scooping and not cutting a round over.
