What are people's experience with concave bevels on fluted gouges as regards them possibly causing a rippling or ridged effect when running down the inside of a bowl?
I often find I can't get a smooth progressive curve down the inside, particularly on tighter curves and it seems to be worse when taking finer finishing cuts. A scraper cleans it up but I would rather get a clean cut in the first place.
I was reading an article on a.n.other forum and the symptoms sound similar. It suggests that the heel of the bevel on a concave grind, being relatively far from the cutting tip, is the cause of this.
Is there any benefit to be had by adding a secondary bevel (has anyone done this) or is it unnecessary and better tool control is what is required ?
