I plan on taking my wensel woodsmans down to a 20* bevel instead of the stock 30*. I have a table top upright belt grinder with an adjustable metal work table that should work real slick.

I know I need to go slow, and cool the blade often to avoid messing up the temper, but if I want a 20* bevel, is that per side of the blade, or would each side be 10*?

Does my question make any sense?
1st of all I'd be careful that you don't do too much trimming with that belt grinder. These Wensel broad heads have been known to break the tip off already without the extra tinkering that you will be doing. Good luck with it.
I've already snipped the tips long ago, but I'll keep an eye out for this. Thanks.
