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.
Thanks to everyone....

George.. you might think "outside the box" and do it the other way around:
Play with the bevel that you're using now and if it works well, build a jig to
get that angle every time, so you'll be consistent.. YMMV
