Lot's of good advice here and I'll add my two cents. For myself, I have found that chatter indicates either a 1) dry stone, 2) dished, unflat, or loaded up stone 3) the stone is not matching the angle of the blade. I have found #3 to be the most common cause of chatter.
Carry on!
Are you talking Edge Pro here?
If so, I'm curious as to which stones you're using.
If I were to set the stone at an angle different from the blade,
it would simply cut at the new angle, no fuss at all.
Hello Joe,
Yes, I am talking about the Edge Pro. As for stones, I used stock and Congress stone for a long time before settling in with CKTG 140 plate, Chosera and Shapton Glass. (Which I wish I had done much sooner).
What I found is that the angle of the stone and the angle of the edge quit matching for two reasons: 1) the stone was changed with a different thickness and this was not taken into account and adjusted for, 2) the spine of the knife thinned out towards the tip enough that it changed the angle of approach- not only causing chatter but a widened bevel.
I hope this somehow helps!
