I think you would be a bit disappointed putting a scandi edge on something that thick! Thickest I have liked is somewhere around 4.5mm and even then it felt like it was pushing it.

Fel I was merely using the 4.5 degrees as an example. Thank you apex that's what I was looking for so gets thicker from the edge. Thanks for taking the time to post man
Mike, thanks for chiming in. I have that widget saved, definitely a good reference. Im more curious of specifications then skill level. Ie, if the stock is 3/16, I can grind it at 4.5 degrees and the grind will be roughly 1 inch high. Just an example, but is there anything like that, or does...
I have a 12" contact wheel. How thin of stock can I use without making the hollow for lack of a better word too thin. I understand I can feather and move the hollow up and down. Im more asking from a theoretical sense. I saw a lot of older makers use 3/16 and 8" wheels. Very interested in...
