Can someone tell me where I might find a chart showing the typical bevel
that turning tools are ground to the first time. Some of my tools have
gotten out of whack I am sure and I want to get them back to the typical
where and can then start to find the bevel that works for me.
I have never found this information listed all in one place before.
I know everyone will find the bevel that works for them but I need to get
back to that point and get a start on find my sweet bevel.

http://www.woodcentral.com/newforum/grinds.shtml Is one place to look,
though you already know the real answer - grind it to do the task you want
it to do.

The other answer, grind it as the gage will let you do has already been
given, and may or may not match your tools and style, though perhaps you
could adapt if you purchased one.
