I tried sending this message directly to you but the message
bounced. So I'll try it this way.
Sorry - wasn't me. I did the Forty Cent Method for setting the
gap between the bit and the chisel. That's at
www.wood-workers.com/users/charlieb/MChiselBitSettingTrick.html
There's a little about tuning them up here, about 1/3rd of the way
down (near photos of before and after polishing a chisel) but
it's not really a "how to" and I did nothing to the inside of the
chisel.

Thanks. Close enough for my needs. I appreciate it.

Maybe I'm confusing the inside of the chisel sharpening things -
LV and G. Wade - in one of them the diamond sharpeners were in
the $50-$70 range - each. Are you referring to corundum cones?

I think my bit liked more depth to it to be quiet, but I've only
used it twice so far. When I get some more energy, I'll finish that
carving bench I've been wanting to build forever now.

Yes, the new chisels do need honing badly. What are "we" using
for sharpening them nowadays? LVT diamond cones? Since they
were inexpensive enough, I picked up a diamond file from Griz
but wonder if LVT's 50° cone might be a better idea.

No, diamond coated cones. 77J81.20 (bottom of the page) at
www.leevalley.com . They're $6.75 a pair, good up to 1/2".
I got the diamond file from Griz, which will be good to have
(Toss a handle on it and use it as a steel in the kitchen?)
but probably not as handy as the Lee cones.
