Title: Determining Broadhead Edge Bevel
Post by: dcolavito on April 04, 2009, 01:02:00 PM
Is there an effective way to measure the final angle of bevel after sharpening broadheads?

Much has been written in this forum on sharpening Grizzly's and other BHs, and using a jig that maintains a fixed angle will ensure consistency - and several jigs set for different angles permits a means to modify bevel angle.

But is there a way to determine what you actually end up with (short of exotic equipment)?
If so, would be especially helpful for those sharpening w/o jigs, and also to determine if a jig is being used improperly.

Thanks,
Dave

Visualize. A 90* angle is easy. Split it. 45s. split one of those....22.5
