Tom,

It makes a pattern when feeding in both directions but the pattern changes, as you would expect, when only the trailing end of the sweep is cutting. I ground the tool using the fly cutter grinding sheet from your web site. I'm sure the angles aren't dead on to what the sheet says but they should be pretty close. I'll double check them again though. It is 1018.

Thanks,
Ed
